I plan on using FL Studio as a sequencer with the MIDI-port that my SB Live! 5.1 offers. That'll work, right? Yeah, absolutely. I was just pointing out the Micron has a couple of appointments the Ion lacks. To some people it's important, to others less so. Thanks, i've been trying to find that answ...

Personally i havent owned any of them only have sample packs and viritual clones. I really do love the OH sound that the tr-909 gives.

But i never really got that good of a look at the Alesis Ion, when i tried it out in the store it was situated in a very uncomfortable position, is it any good for "saw sounds á la trance"? No. The ION is too smooth to get typical supersaw - not enough bite. It's much better at emulating older, vin...

Oh, and when looking at the videos of the Alesis Micron on youtube i can assume that the Alesis Ion is capable of everything the Micron is doing? Yes, except the Ion lacks reverb and a sequencer. Of course it has a much better control surface, a larger display, and an extra octave of keys. The Ion/...

Woha, the X-station seems pretty cool too, defintly a candidate worth considering aswell.. So many choises. I'm gonna go completley nuts over this.

micahjonhughes: Depends, they seem hard to find here in sweden, there are two JUNO-106's around from what i've seen. maybe i'm not diggin' deep enough. V301H: I'm very tempted by the ion, and i had a few of those thoughts aswell regarding the filters, only the waldorf blofeld seemed to be able to be...

REPRINTED FROM SYNTHACON. Thank you sir. List of stuff.. Not the kind of answer i was looking for to be honest, i've read that list prior to making my post, but it doesnt really help me to choose a synthesizer as the ones i've listed are what i consider. Thank you michael stein for your comment, i ...

As the topic says, i'm llooking to buy my first hardware synthesizer. I've been using FL studio 7 to produce my own music for awhile and i've longed for hardware for awhile, my pears have decided that a synthesizer would be a good graduation gift for me, and i agree with them. :D My price range is b...
