ALESIS MICRON SYNTHESIZER
Alesis micron Receives Prestigous Best Buy Award from Consumers Digest
The highly respected Consumers Digest publication praised the Alesis micron Keyboard in their December 2008 issue.
The micron is an eight-voice, three-octave virtual-analog synthesizer. The 37-key keyboard is rugged, compact and portable; an instrument upon which players can depend for professional sonic results in the studio and on stage. The micron is compatible with programs from its larger sibling, the Alesis Ion.
The micron has extensive performance controls including aftertouch, knobs, and virtual faders, as well as digital effects including ring modulation for extensive sonic manipulation. Keyboard players can perform and program with up to eight multi-timbral parts using micron’s sequencer, arpeggiator and rhythm sequencer. Alesis 24-bit digital-to-analog converters deliver clean, accurate audio output.
Consumers Digest Magazine publishes informative exposés and product reviews. On average, Consumer Digest’s Best Buy rating is awarded to fewer than three percent of the competing models in any given product category. The Alesis micron was chosen by the editors in the December 2008 issue for its exceptional value in today’s highly competitive marketplace.
Micron artists include Miley Cyrus, Nine Inch Nails, System of a Down, Ashley Simpson and The Veronicas. Want more information? Check out the micron product page for more details.
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.

ABOUT ALESIS:
Established in 1980, Alesis was founded on innovative semi-conductor chip technology and award winning industrial designs that allowed entry level musicians and recording artists to afford professional studio recording products that were never affordable before. With high “bang for the buck” value, Alesis introduced the world’s first professional 16 bit effects processor under $1000, the Midiverb. Following on the heels of the Midiverb, Alesis progressed into studio quality drum machines (HR-16 and SR-16) as well as synthesizers, studio monitors and mixing consoles.
If there’s one secret to our enduring brand and the passion it ignites in musicians, producers and engineers, it’s that we deliver these experiences, rather than merely a collection of products and services. We’re dedicated to inspiring musical creativity and developing musical experiences for all of our stakeholders – customers, employees, partners, suppliers, and the musical community at large. That’s what sets Alesis apart from the crowd and why our brand continues to be on the leading edge of professional audio and music technology.
While our products range from keyboards, synthesizers, hard disk recorders, iPod recording and playback devices, electronic drums, mixers, signal processors, effects units, amplifiers and speakers one thing remains consistent; our passion for inspiring musical creativity and innovation through new technology.
