"Oberheim, Moog, and Jupiter all mixed together and faithfully replicates each of them. "

Feature:
Everything I could ever need. Arp could be full featured thou. And they should have just included the reverb with the effects. They did incorporate these in the new micron- so with future OS updates, perhaps the should be a ten.

Quality:
Early on they had some issues, I believe all have been corrected w/latest OS updates + extreme hardware problems were fully warranteed.

Value:
Their is no better value out there. This is the best bang for the buck. It will continue to be for years to come. I think it was underpriced due to it being in the Andromedea's shadow. This was a huge mistake! I would have bought the Andromedea, but I was overwhelmed by it's complexity and price. I would have paid $1300 for this and considered it a bargin.

Desirability:
Glowing knobs are beautiful- dual purpose at Christmas time.

Sound:
Best Analog Modelling I've ever heard! Oscillator drift feature is fully controllable- can make it sound like a fine tuned analog or an old,beat-up analog just pulled from the trunk of a Pinto. You can mix and match all the classic filters, plus some new ones.

Support:
I think they've changed ownership- I did complain when I first got it because the manual said that the Arpeggiator could send out MIDI, but It took them well over a year to enable this feature with OS updates. I still can't believe they shipped with contridictions between the manual and the synth.

Overall:
Any other product would be supplimental. Would love to pick up a Micron in a few months to expand features and voices.

Alesis ION Keyboard Customer Review

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Everything you'd expect except for a good FX package. But for the price, it's not a big deal.

Quality:
Good, pro stuff here. This is not a toy.

Value:
Try and find something that's as well equipped for the price!

Sound:
Great and varied analog sounds. I've fooled around with many synrhs in the 70's & 80's and this is like owning everything I ever thought was cool in one package.

Overall:
This will be in my studio for a very long time

"Impressed"

Feature:
Being able to hold a few keys and have the keyboard play it over and over for you while adding in little things when u want, changing the pitch,octaves,sounds, and keeping the same tempo. Make sure you have a manual for this synth

Quality:
GREAT, didn't have one problem. Once i got this baby running it was hard to take a break even for dinner lol

Value:
I could resell this to some local kid for not too far off of what i bought it for. I payed 680

Desirability:
you don't know how sexi it looks with all my boss gt-6 and my other keyboards and lights...This thing LOOKS advanced. The second i saw this in person i dropped getting a stack amplifier for this.

Sound:
The sound makes me want to hit the dance floor while i'm playing

Support:
not sure never used it

Overall:
If your VERY picky and have been playing forever go for the andromeda if your a beginner/intermediate. This is the perfect keyboard for you
