Alesis Micron Review

I decided to do an Alesis Micron review because I recently had a client who brought one of these units in for a few sessions. Usually these analog synth modelers are not my cup of tea but I have to say I really loved working with this particular synth. I had worked with the Alesis Ion a few times and I guess this is considered its little brother. From what I saw first hand though and from what some of my colleagues who are a bit more versed in the virtual analog synthesizer world have told me, this thing is second to none.

The first thing I noticed was how it has very small footprint which makes it extremely convenient to use in a studio setting and probably would be outstanding for live use. If you are a gigging musician the Alesis Micron would really be an incredible fit. Its light weight, easy to travel with and has a great analog synth sound.

Now since I am basically a recording guy lets talk about the recording aspect of things. These days many people get their synth sounds inside the computer. Programs like Reason are awesome and can really do almost anything. What I really liked about the Alesis Micron though was the fact that it was really quick and easy to get some killer sounds. Whenever I end up loading up Reason the artist and I usually start wasting a few hours fooling around with the endless settings and options. The Alesis Micron took a little bit of learning to understand just how to work the programming end of it but once I started to get the hang of it I really realized how powerful it could be. The built in presets were nice but the unit is extremely programmable and the sounds and drums you can create are just beautiful. Ive used a plenty of digital synths in my day and I have used a lot of digital synth’s that model analog synths. The difference here though is that the Micron really had that “analog” sound. For its size it really blows you away with how great it sounds. I doubt you could find anything in its price range that would even come close to sounding this good.

In a nutshell if you are a recording musician or a live musician looking for an affordable virtual analog synthesizer then the Alesis Micron is a great choice. If you are the type that looks to noodle around in programs like Reason for hours on end you might not find a need for it but I highly recommend it.
