How well does the fusion work with a controller keyboard attached. With the polyphony and multi sound type it seems a second board midi'd up would create a good two board setup for live us.
I'm not yet an owner of a fusion, but someones experience how far one can go on this issue would help greatly, ty.

I currently use a 6HD with an 88 key controller and it works great for me. I use Fusion for all patch selection and I attach my sustain pedal directly to the Fusion so the controller is just used for it's keys. I've used this setup for over a year and it's worked just fine.

Why the pedal in the fusion. I would be controlling other equipement aswell. Any problems with that?

It shouldn't be, I just like to simplify things in my case since I'm just using the controller for the keys and not any other midi functions. I'm sure it'll work fine plugged into the controller, and would be necessary if you're controlling other equipment. Sorry for the confusion. |

The Fusion responds well to 'standard' controllers. Sadly you cannot assign a random controller to modify a sound (e.g. if you have already programmed your 4 knobs for modifying sound, an external controller does not give you much extra since you cannot assign another controller to modify an aditional parameter). To be precise, you CAN assign any controller, but it's a global setting - not per program - and then the knobs on the Fusion also get these controller numbers.
Obviously, you should have no problem in using a second external keyboard for playing another sound than what you are doing on your Fusion keyboard.

Just a quick ty to the responses I have had.
I am becoming more and more convinced its a board that would suit me. It seems the more recent updates have gone a long way to sorting the not so popular niggles.
I've downloaded the manual and trawling through that...
Fingers crossed my band can earn some for me to buy one!

Don't let the manual mislead you, the manual really sucks. The Fusion on the other hand is easy to handle, and there are some free tutorials available. In addition, this forum and the www.promusicproducts.com/forum/phpBB2/index.php forum should provide you with a lot of info! |

Hi All,
I thought I would resurrect this thread as opposed to starting a new one. I will if I have to!
Can someone instruct me on how to keep the Fusion in its native octave when controlled by another keyboard? My Kawai digital grand is controlling the Fusion in the Kawai's octave (pitch range) but muddles the Fusion sounds. Basically, I want the Kawai to sound where I have it, and the Fusion to sound where I have IT. An octave higher than the Kawai. Maybe I am not looking at C1 on either correctly.
Much appreciation as always.

Does the Kawai have a 'transpose' function for external MIDI (without affecting its own sound)?
Sounds like the Kawai's not putting out standard MIDI note info and it needs shifting up.
Hmmmm... perhaps the KEY TRANSPOSE in Fusion's 'GLOBAL' section might fix it. Dunno if that processes external MIDI though or just its own keyboard. Worth a try.

Basically, I want the Kawai to sound where I have it, and the Fusion to sound where I have IT. An octave higher than the Kawai. Maybe I am not looking at C1 on either correctly. Much appreciation as always. There is no native octave on the Fusion, it follows the usual tuning standard. You can check this in the first place by viewing the MIDI Event Data when playing the middle C on the Fusion's keyboard. You should see a C3 i.e. MIDI note o60. Everything else on the Fusion is selectable: On the Global page, the Program page (Pitch submenu) of a edited Program Preset plus all OSC pages and even there are two different Tune options. So to avoid too much confusion you can connect a Instrument Tuner to get a clear picture of the tuning. Then you can adjust the Fusion's setting(s) that it fits perfectly to the Kawai. And why all this? Because there is no one single rule how to set the Tuning of a Preset and even the entire instrument (Global page), actually it is indeed custom. Hope that helps. |

After much hunting, I am not able to locate the MIDI Event Data page you referred to. I could pull out the users manual, but I need that to balance my keyboard stand.
I don't think it is a matter of fine tuning the pitch. If I transpose the Program up an octave, that is the pitch I desire when controlling it with the Kawai, but it is too high when playing directly on the Fusion. However, if I transpose through Global, (though the pitch plays up an octave when triggered on the Fusion), it still plays its original pitch when controlled by the Kawai.
I simply want the Fusion's C3 to play when I play the Kawai's C3. But something is pushing the Fusion down an octave.
Could it be that I have the Fusion at the end of my MIDI chain, and the Kawai is first controlling the Korg M3? I could have mentioned that earlier. Sorry.
And thank you!

A MIDI Event data page can be found on a computer sequencer software like Cubase or Logic.
You can assign any note to the C3 by setting a OSC. So it is possible that a C3 plays a C2 or C4. It is a programmable instrument and everybody can set what he wants.
If the replayed Fusion sound is to low when remotely played via the Kawai, then set +12 on the Global page and it's done.
