mildbill Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 more questions: can you 'sync' the oscillators? any plans for a rack unit if the keyboard sells well? (a little premature to tell, i know.) i think i might like this one. (i also think it's pretty ugly, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think the Andromeda is beautiful, but much like sound, visual asthetic is so subjective that I rarely offer my very individualized opinion without expecting some level of dissent. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peake Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 As an A6 dweeb, I'll mention that Axel Hartmann has been working on his Neuron synth and didn't consult to my knowledge on the ION. Give me the ANALOG and no one gets HURT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoplura Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Questions, let's see... Yes, you will be able to sync any two, or all three of the oscillators. Axel Hartmann was not involved in the design of the Ion. The side panels are more green than yellow. Apple-green sounds about right. It's Pantone 396C for those of you with apantone book.

soapbox Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 "Pantonal" is the term that was preferred by Arnold Schönberg for what most people refer to as "atonal" music. "Pantone 396C" makes no sense though because there are only 12 tones. Enthusiasm powers the world. Craig Anderton's Archiving Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 For those of us that deal with visual as well as aural artistics dabblings, Pantone is a system that provides exact color scaling via assigned numbers. There are basically three systems for determining color for we artists: RGB, used mostly for onscreen systems that use percentages of only three color values (Red, Green, Blue) to create the rest of the spectrum; CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) that are used for printed materials using the four ink colors, and Pantone, which can be applied to any material. Most Pantone values also have an approximate CMYK and RGB value for process printing and the like. It's actually called the PANTONE Matching System, so the colors are often referred to as PMS (as in PMS 396C). Professional designers all have a Pantone book that allows comparison between the various values. And there it is...everything you ever wanted to know about color value measurement from the viewpoint of a graphic designer. See, I make ads, brochures, web sites and shit like that. Color makes a difference from time to time. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapbox Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Jeff, I was afraid that you'd take me seriously! (I figured that you already knew better than to take steadyb seriously.) ...But thanks for the very good explanation! Maybe you already have this gadget: http://www.pantone.com/products/images/prod_GEBAT100_dk.gif It's called the Pantone Color Cue . It lets you scan a color on a flat surface and figure out the closest match in the Pantone Matching System. Enthusiasm powers the world.

steadyb Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Originally posted by Anoplura: The fully-featured Vocoder lives in the effects chip, completely separate from the synth engine. It has no effect on the available polyphony, and can be used completely independently from the synth, with both modulator and carrier (analysis and synthesis) signals coming in from the (swanky, balanced 24-bit) external inputs, if desired. You can also use any of the internal synth sounds as either the carrier or modulator. The vocoder will have several modes with up to 40 bands.Are the 40 bands for a mono signal or stereo??? In stereo is it a full 40 per side or 20/20??? Either way this thing sound like it's gonna be really cool...just when I said I wasn't getting anymore hardware synths, this sounds like a "must have" as well. My Andy needs a new little brother.

[QB]It's 40 mono bands. The basic synth voice is mono up to the output section, where the pan and effects send are - unless you route the filters in stereo. There will also be a 12 Band, vintage style Vocoder which will be in stereo. The Effects code (including the Vocoder) hasn't been fully implemented, yet. We may add additional features and modes.

Bobro Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 The ION prototype looks very good- wise to make it so different than the Andromeda, which is a beauty. The ION looks like something from the illustrations in old Tom Swift books. Hey Alesis while you're at it how about throwing in a Bode Frequency Shifter? This is the kind of look I'd like to see in a synth: http://www.kosmolith.com/Nemotron.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guerillatheater Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 I kinda like the design for some reason. but I'd also say that it looks very prototype-y and so we'll see a slicker version when it comes out (and probably a higher price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerillatheater Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 well, taking advantage of the double post... I also saw a new VA from korg when I was flipping through their catalog the other day. it certainly looks nice and vintage, but from some of the features I'd say it's probably not gonna be much competition for the ION.

MortenJ Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 Hey I have some Questions are the Arp filtertype is that like 2600 and the oberheim filter is that SEM(like A6). Are the wheels transparent. I hope the Ion is better for Brass sounds then Waldorf Q(that I sell to get a A6 and Ion) the problem is when I use Chorus on Brass then it lose the volume.

Synthguy Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 If you give it Yamaha CS80 filters, I'll belong to Alesis forever. I'm seriously looking to nab one of these when it comes out, lusting after it more than the Nord Modular, which it takes a lot to do. This keyboard solo has obviously been tampered with!
