Alesis Micron Sound Samples and Photography PreviewRecipher | 4:50 am

Sorry for the lack of updates in the last couple of months, our server got the Avian Flu. It’s got better, though. I got to sample an Alesis Micron a few weeks ago. The Micron is an 8 polyphony synthesizer which uses the ION analog-modeling sound engine. It has a nice lofi sound. The presets are a combination of Korg MS2000 style strings and techno drum arpeggiations. Nice little synth for the price, but, would prefer more knobs.
Here are a couple of sample packs which can also be found on the sound samples page. The first sample pack consists of edited drum hits from drum loops on the Micron. The second is a mix of dirty electronic growls.

Also, here are a few photographs from an upcoming feature on the site, Electronic Music Photography. These were taken with the Canon 20D DSLR. The first photograph is the SL-Q212: a fairly rare and old Technics turntable. The other photos are headphones and homemade patchcords. Stay tuned for more photography and sample packs.
