Wonderful engine and key size, small screen and limited nobs

I bought this synthesizer to add to my current rig (I'm a huge fan of mini synths). Although it looks like a toy, it feels extremely sturdy. This virtual analog synthesizer has the same sound engine as it's big brother, the Alesis Ion. This synth can recreate any sound I've had in my head, and its full-sized keys are a definite plus. I would NOT recommend this for beginners, as it has a limited screen, and limited nobs. Although it creates wonderful sound due to its wonderful sound engine, it's definitely meant for those who know what they're doing. Furthermore, it's been difficult to tweak it live, and it does take a good amount of time to create the sound you want. Overall, a wonderful synth due to its engine and full-sized keys, but its limited screen and nobs make it somewhat difficult to use, especially for newer players, and anyone wanting to tweak in real time.Read full review
