MICRON DESCRIPTION
 
Big Analog Sounds - Small Footprint!
The Alesis Micron boasts the same sound engine as the Ion in a compact 3-octave keyboard. The Alesis Micron is compatible with Alesis Ion programs and holds over 1,000 programs and multitimbral setups. If you've been excited about picking up some analog sounds, but don't want to take up your whole studio, the Alesis Micron is for you!

Alesis Micron at a Glance:
  • Impressive synthesis capabilities
  • Real-time control for the road or studio
  • The right size for your back pack or home studio
  • Fantastic analog sounds onboard


A Real Synth
The Alesis Micron offers continuously variable wave shapes, plus sync and FM synthesis. 16 filter types are included, along with 2 LFOs with multiple wave shapes and sample & hold. The Alesis Micron has 8-voice polyphony with 3 oscillators per voice, and is 4-part multitimbral. The Alesis Micron offers a programmable step sequencer, arpeggiator, rhythm sequencer for drum kits, and dynamic realtime phrase sequencer--all of which sync to MIDI clock. A modulation matrix is built in. Effects include a 40 band vocoder that does not use up any polyphony, 4 drive effects, and stereo bus effects, including reverb.

Realtime Control
For assignable realtime control, the Alesis Micron offers 3 knobs, 2 modulation sliders, and a pitch wheel. The knobs are 360 degree potentiometers with 12-bit resolution, yielding 32 times the resolution of a typical MIDI controller, yet still compatible with the latest sequencers via NRPMS (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers). The result is extraordinary precision--void of any undesirable digital artifacts--and a very "analog" sound throughout the entire frequency range.

Take It Anywhere
Lightweight and portable, the Alesis Micron keyboard contains 37 keys with velocity and release velocity sensitivity. There are 2 analog outputs and 2 stereo analog inputs--all 1/4" balanced and using 24-bit conversion. Also included are connections for expression pedal, sustain pedal, and MIDI In, Out, and Thru.

Sounds You Can Count On
Developed by the same sound design team that programmed the Andromeda synthesizer, the Alesis Micron's presets cover a variety of genres, including many exciting new tonalities, as well as classic synth emulations.

Music Background:  Electronic music performed live


“It gets a perfect score because of what you get for the price. A virtual modeled synth with 3 oscillators, 2 of them with sync, plus noise, plus ring mod of osc 2 +3, not to mentioned some basic frequency modulutation capabilities. The architecture for performance is refreshingly logical. It combines arpeggiation, real-time sequence recording, and comprehensive zoning. You can essentially link...” Read More
