88 Note Semi-Weighted Fully Weighted Keyboard Workstations. Quite simply, the Fusion 6HD from Alesis is the biggest bang for the buck that you can get in a workstation. The Fusion 6HD features five different types of synthesis, a 32-track sequencer, built-in effects, sampling, and to top it all off, a full-featured eight track digital recorder (for recording vocals or other analog sources) built right in! The Fusion 8 HD features 88 keys, a backlit display, and enough bells and whistles to make your head spin! All for a price well below what you might expect to pay for a workstation of this caliber.
