Date: 11/10/05
Sound ROM:
1. Added “PRESET 4” program bank with 128 new programs.
2. Added “MORE” program bank with 65 new programs.
3. Filled out “SYNTH DRUM” program bank by adding 110 new programs.
4. Divided mixes into two banks: “GROOVE MIX” (40 mixes) and “SPLIT-LAYER” (108 mixes), adding several new mixes.
5. Analog drum kits added within the “SPLIT-LAYER” mix bank.
6. Improvements to programs in “PRESET 1”, “PRESET 2”, “PRESET 3”, and “ELECTRONICA” program banks.
7. Several new patterns have been added.
8. Demo songs have been removed from the internal Sound ROM. These demo songs are available as a separate download.
9. Unused multisamples have been removed from the internal Sound ROM. These multisamples will be available to the public at a later date.
New Features/Changes:
1. Added a dry level parameter to each track. This is a post-send level used to configure the wet/dry mix for send effects. This is on the Track-Output page along with being on the Effects-Bus-Select page. It is also added as an effect mod route destination.
2. Moved the track enable parameter to the Track-General page for Song mode and Part-General page for Mix mode.
3. Improvements to Mono Aftertouch response of the keybed.
4. Revised/Improved all Chorus effects.
5. Improvements to the Rotary effects.
6. Added tap tempo button. Tap [ARP] button at least 4 times to set tempo.
7. Added the ability to import MIDI files to Song Mode. Also the ability to export a song to a MIDI file.
8. Added ability to export all audio tracks in Song mode.
9. Audio Track Import utility now only shows supported files when user is selecting the file to import for easier browsing.
10. When the “Optimize to Mono” parameter in Program Mode is disabled, the cursor will jump to the “pan” parameter for immediate access.
11. Pressing [RECORD] only will place the Fusion in a record-ready state. Pressing [PLAY] or receiving a MIDI START message will then enter record mode. This enables the Fusion to enter record as a MIDI slave.
12. MIDI START message is now sent when record count-in ends rather than immediately when [RECORD]-[PLAY] is pressed.
13. Added a new arpeggiator parameter: “Use Part Range”. This provides the ability to set an arpeggiator to play part only within the part’s range. This is useful for playing patterns for analog drum kits in Mix Mode.
14. Altered display format of error messages.

Bug fixes:
1. Fixed bug where pressing [STOP] in Mixer mode would revert the knob row to the top row rather than keeping it disabled. This caused the tempo to change when turning knob 4 in Mixer mode.
2. Fixed bug where pressing a key while the arpeggiator was playing a fill would keep the arpeggiator within the fill forever.
3. Fixed bug where entering Sampler Edit mode from another mode would crash the system when “Last Mode Only” load option was used.
4. Improved clipping indication for sample metering.
5. Fixed bug where sustaining notes would click during large program load.
6. Fixed bug where tables would not properly delete and remained in sound and when stored.
7. Improved flanger effect with negative feedback parameter.
8. Fixed bug where flanger would self-oscillate using certain parameter values.
9. Fixed bug where Program Mode would accept a program change message from a MIDI channel that was not the Global MIDI channel.
10. Fixed bug where pressing [STOP] would cause the edited icon to appear when MIDI In was receiving the Fusion’s MIDI Out.
11. Fixed bug where Mod Wheel and assignable knobs would send duplicate values via MIDI.
12. Fixed bug where an illegal path was allowed to be created when creating a bank name.
13. Fixed bug where changing the global transpose parameter would leave a stuck note on the MIDI slave.
14. Fixed bug where sample loop points would not be set correctly after recording.
15. Fixed bug where count-in would show corrupt timecode when meter is above 34/4.
16. Fixed bug where inserting a second note in a new pattern when the ARP ON/OFF is on would freeze the unit.
17. Fixed bug where receiving MIDI clock would incorrectly determine the tempo once the sync message is received after a long absence.
18. Fixed bug where creating a song from a mix would not correctly set the insert effects for each part.
19. Fixed bug where patterns would not play/record correctly with meter other than 4/4.
20. Fusion no longer responds to MIDI CC for Balance. It will only respond to MIDI CC for Pan.
21. Fixed bug where pressing [STOP] during a record count-in would keep the timecode in the count-in display.
22. Fixed bug where effects mod routings would not always store correctly.
23. Improved the system to eliminate noise for non-looped samples pitched extremely high.
24. Removed clicking that was recorded to a sample when playing the keyboard while recording in Sampler mode.
25. Fixed bug where users were not able to edit and store the “Simple Drone” pattern.
26. Fixed bug where sampled audio would have a discontinuity in the audio after the first 64 samples.
27. Fixed bug where Undo was not working correctly while editing a mod route.
28. Fixed bug where notes would stay on when disabling the “keyboard” parameter of a part or selecting a mix where the part had its “keyboard” parameter set to off.
29. Fixed bug where moving a mod route would not properly move all of its parameters.
30. Fixed bug where “EDIT Env:” text was clipped with certain mod routings.
31. Fixed bug where editing a pattern would not always show the edited icon.
32. Fixed bug where deleting the Volume ID of a CF card would cause the Fusion to display a corrupted volume ID in the Media-Info page.
33. Fixed bug where soft buttons would incorrectly appear in the Item Manager.
