Alesis micron is an 8-voice,
3-octave analog modeling synthesizer, proving that big things really
can come in small packages. The micron's rugged, compact design
delivers the power of large synthesizers like the Alesis Ion (the micron is compatible with Ion programs), making it an exceptional and
highly-portable tool, that can be used for incredible sonic results,
both in the studio and on-stage.
The easy-to-use interface makes
creating new textures and instruments extremely fast and intuitive, and
with a programmable step and phrase sequencer, arpeggiator, and world
class effects, there is very little you can't do with a micron.
