Does anyone have Alesis Ion?

Any opinions, reviews from Isratrance users?

How about the sound? The usability? The integration with PC? Stability? Sounds made with it? etc.....

Any info is appreciated, including "don't buy it, buy THAT"

thanks

I've actually always wanted to try one.

I know that doesn't do much to answer your question

If you connect it to a PC via MIDI cables it will probably be as stable as any other synth connected that way. (After all, Alesis made the Andromeda A6... )

Micron doesn't look as cool as ion, thats the reason i think

Alesis Ion is good sounding VA , if u want one ,get it , it is really that good compared to micron , ms2000korg.

This is what ive herd from reviews of it , unfortunately where i come from i cant try them before buying them ..

i dont care about the looks of it... i needed it small for taking it easy on stage.
the sound of it never was my cup of tea.

micron and ion is the same thing only more control on the ion!

That should help you decide, btw this is one of his highest rated videos amongst the other synths he demos
