Alesis Ion Synthesizer
Product Code: ION

The ION features an ergonomic user interface with 3 variably-illuminating control wheels and 31 amply spaced control knobs. The knobs are 360 degree potentiometers with 12-bit resolution yielding 32 times the resolution of a typical MIDI controller yet still compatible with the latest sequencers via NRPNs (Non-Registered Parameter Numbers). The result is extraordinary precision—void of any undesirable digital artifacts—and a very “analogue” sound throughout the entire frequency range.

A 160x160 graphic display provides instant visual feedback as a parameter is edited. The ION keyboard contains 49 velocity-sensitive keys 4 analogue outputs and 2 stereo analogue inputs (all balanced and using 24-bit conversion) 4 individual insert effects a stereo master multi-FX processor and an internal universal power supply.

Developed by a world-class sound design team many of whom programmed the flagship Andromeda synthesizer the ION’s 512 user-rewritable presets cover a variety of genres including many exciting new tonalities as well as classic synth emulations.

New sounds will also be available from the Alesis web site as will a Flash demo of the ION.
