Playing and Editing Songs
You can learn quite a bit about your new Fusion workstation by spending a few minutes with
one of the built-in demo songs. In this section, we'll get you started on some of the basic
aspects of sequencing with the Fusion.
Playing the Hip Hop Demo song...
1. Press the SONG mode button.
2. Press INC or DEC until you find the song called "Hip Hop Demo" The name of the song
should be displayed in bold letters in the middle of the screen once the song is fully loaded.
Press the PLAY button in the transport control area to the right of the Control Wheel. The song
will begin playing back. You can easily identify what tracks are playing by watching the Active
Tracks display. Each time a MIDI event is triggered, the Active Track containing that particular
event becomes highlighted.
TIP: By using the FFWD and REW keys in the Transport area, you can move through the
song one measure at a time. Holding LOCATE while pressing REW will return you to the
beginning of the song.
Setting Locate Points...
The SET LOC and Quick Access buttons (located under the Category and Bank buttons) in
the Fusion's Transport area enable you to "mark" a specific location in your song. This feature
makes it easy to jump to a specific point with a single button push.
1. As the song plays, press the SET LOC button and one of the Quick Access buttons (A-P.) This
marks a specific point within the song.
2. Pressing the LOCATE button and the corresponding Quick Access button (during either
playback or in standby) jumps to the song position you captured earlier. This position is
identified by Measure, Beat, and Clock Pulse time and is shown at the top of the display (as
shown in the image above).
TIP: You can also use the FFWD and REW keys to skip to a particular location, and then
mark that position by pressing the SET LOC button.
