Does anyone know if/ where the real basic drum patterns are in the Fusion? The drum documentation is very sparse in the manual. Like bass snare bass bass snare etc... The real basics. It seems like there's a crazy amount of hip hop everywhere. But even the deceptively named "rock" patterns are just the euphemism de jour for more hip hop! wtf!?! It's frustrating! I have to say...knowing that the target market has inadvertently shifted due to the price drop, Alesis could have added more support for new users. Things like how to locate and add a ready made drum pattern, or how to easily navigate adding programs while in song mode. It's wonderful what the Fusion can do ... but assuming that everyone has a 20 year background in synths is a little less than welcoming to new users in the market! Oh, well enough soapbox for me. Can anyone help? On a positive note... I just performed "Trampled Under Foot"by Zeppelin on a jam this weekend and the clav program was off the hook! Everyone was wowed! Also "Riding the Storm Out" REO Speedwagon I modified the Pitchwheel parameters and got a hellacious siren that knocked thier socks off as well. Thanks for the good ...no great.. along with the learning curve hazing for us newbies!
