About this listing
Marketed by Klassic Keys GB (Ashby-de-la-Zouch/E Midlands/England) £235 is EXPORT price. UK price is £265 (free mainland shipping)Here we have an ALESIS MICRON. A USA-designed synth, but made in Taiwan.......... a MONSTER for its sounds and ability to put together a head-spinning array of sound combinations and looped rhythms, phrases and LFO variations with individual tones. The most difficult aspect to this design-is how deceptive it is. Looks like a simple little 37-key keyboard, but It is deep and can create some remarkably complex sounds and patterns. Its audio quality is fairly pristine, but the sounds can be anything but that. The drum samples are fairly limited to purely analogue type sounds, not PCM or samples-more like the old style analogue drums that could be created using white/pink noise and drum attack style envelopes. Very effective though, when used in combination with basslines (excellent) phrases and live solo leads, manage to sound very complementary to the Micron's HUGE database of sounds. There are filters and modulation routings which are difficult to implement with such a small screen and limited controls, so initially fire it up and use it as a preset? There IS a software front-end for this, which opens up visually what this is capable of. Though it's digital, the Alesis Micron has the heart of an analogue synthesizer, and is made to emulate the voicing of an analogue synth. THREE oscillators (like a Memorymoog), with eight voices per oscillator, along with two filters, three envelope generators, two LFOs, and more give you tons of programmability and potential to shape your sound in an impressively compact 37-key synth. Taking cues from the Alesis Ion, the Micron gives you portability along with powerful analogue modeling. .....its NOT big!....just sounds it...... If you can find the KKGB listing of our Alesis Ion, there should be a rare KKGB video showing off the GLISSANDO feature; a rare aspect of synthesis, unbelievably ignored by most the "big boy" brands since whenever.......Yamaha CS-50/60 & 80 polysynths have glissando, after all.....the Micron also has it...so "yah-boo" to all the other inferior synths.....hee, hee.......This Micron is working 100%. There are plenty of eeny scratches on the panel and casing.... with NEW volume pot (common problem), and no dodgy LCD screen (rare problem). Complete with external PSu, and manual.
