The Micron is an 8-voice, 3-octave analog modeling synth, proving that big things really can come in small packages. It's rugged, compact design delivers the power of large synthesizers like the Alesis Ion (the Micron is compatible with Ion programs), making it an exceptional and highly-portable tool, that can be used for incredible sonic results, both in the studio and on-stage.
The easy-to-use interface makes creating new textures and instruments extremely fast and intuitive, and with a programmable step and phrase sequencer, arpeggiator, and world class effects, there's very little you can't do with a Micron.
