Fusion Convertor™ is a free Macintosh OSX Universal Binary and Windows application which imports various file formats into your Alesis Fusion™ workstation. It also offers Bank Management, allowing you to organize your Banks, Programs, and Samples on your computer, and supports computer archiving of Volumes for organizational access.

Fusion Convertor™ also has a Pro version which costs $79.95 and expands the list of importable formats to just about everything possible; such as Kontakt, Giga, EXS24, and more. The interface, functionality, and features are identical to Fusion Convertor™; the list of importable formats is expanded. Click here to order.

Although the Alesis Fusion is no longer manufactured by Alesis, Chicken Systems continues to support this free program plus adds support and functionality to its Fusion support through various products. Other Chicken Systems products that support the Alesis Fusion are Constructor (a generic Instrument builder) and Instrument Manager (a management/databasing utility).


Fusion Convertor™ supports the following import formats:

  • WAVE files (.wav)
  • AIFF files (.aif and .aiff)
  • Akai S-1000/3000 CD’s
  • SoundFonts (.sf2)
  • Akai S-5000/Z-Series Programs (.akp)

Using Direct Mode, Fusion Convertor™ writes directly into the Fusion™’s internal 40GB hard drive. Fusion Convertor™ also can write directly to Compact Flash cards inserted into the Fusion™ itself or ones hooked up to the computer itself.

Fusion Convertor™ also has an Archive Mode where you can offline create and assemble banks for later writing onto the Fusion hard drive or a Compact Flash emory card.

Note to Mac users: although the majority of graphics in these docs are of the Windows version, the Mac version works almost indentically and looks identically to the Windows version.
