The Alesis Micron...and now I'm prepared to go under ground for maybe half a century, only equipped with kleenex and headphones...
This is such a sweet machine I can't believe it. The sheer joy of playing with it, and the environment of the sounds...The motions you can put it to your finger to express the crisp and small details...I'm reborn.
The choice was when I bought it, of course, between the MicroKORG and the Micron. I haven't played around with the MicroKORG enough to express an opinion, but MAN I'm happy about buying the Micron, that's for sure.
Thanks to everyone in here that pointed my attention towards the Micron.

Yay! He made the right decision.
My first proper hardware synth was the Korg EA-1. 2 stinking acid sequencers. Nice.
I managed to recreate Kraftwerk with the EMX and ESX, lol.

of course, in all honesty, the "right" decision was deciding to buy a synth in the first place, so good job on that, but also extra good job on picking out a good one for your first one.

why not try second-hand stores or pawn shops? it's amazing what you can do with a guitar effects processor and an old 80s synth that costs 50 bucks.
I frequently use a Yamaha PSS470(initially costing US$50 bucks) patched into a Digitech RP7 Effects Valve. (initially costing US$187 used).

The Micron is awesome. Make sure to join the Yahoo Groups Ion/Micron user groups... there are some shitty patches posted, but more importantly, links to patch editors and stuff. The patch editors will save you lots of work when dissecting other people's patches and composing your own complex ones.
Also, remember that instead of using the main control knob all the time, when you've chosen the parameter you want to control, push and hold the control knob then while holding it down tweak one of the x, y or z knobs to assign it to that parameter. They're smoother feeling and change the values much faster.

Seriously, this thing rawks. It's the best analog emulation I've ever heard. I think it kicks the asses of more expensive Nords and Viruses. They go wee wee wee and the Micron goes GWAAAAAAH.
Oh one more tip - a lot of the default patches have compression or overdrive effects on them - turn it off for a more natural, dynamic sound.

You know, I have heard there were people actually do consider these better sounding than nords or viruses. I didn't think they actually existed.

Once again, I rephrase what I said:

< sarcasm>Seriously. Whats worse than getting all worked up over a stupid comment? Getting all sanctimoneous towards people you think get all worked up.< /sarcasm>
