Micron credits go to....

[Jokeyman123]

Although I am many years behind the curve with this machine too-in researching if there are any other user groups (the old Yahoo group disappeared but there is a Micron/Ion facebook page-I discovered an interesting fact correct me if I am wrong-that in addition to this being mainly Brett Victor's brainchild, credit also goes to KPR-Klaus here in this group. and in 2022-after much research-I still haven't found a current music machine that can quite match what this does. If this had 256-voice polyphony-it would be a baby Fusion! Just for example-there can be up to (I think) 7 "parts" labelled alphabetically-but....and this is huge and took me hours to understand this-most of the Youtube tutorials are pretty thin on how to truly use this Micron fully...each "part" can have a 1) program 2) pattern 3) rhythm and 4) phrase-all assigned to the same part! and then.....you can do this again with each part, this is amazing. AND.....all of these can be assigned to one "setup"-all accessible from one 37-note keyboard-or-all of these combinations can be assigned in different areas across-that's right, my 88-key Fusion. The complex possibilities here are staggering. All from a little synth smaller than most of the controllers I've owned (and now sold). I am in the process of giving my beaten Micron a makeover-getting rid of most of the red finish-will post pics a soon as i am done, it is in the shop now getting the business. so thank you Klaus and Brett for creating an instrument that still stands above most every other so-called newer "analog" instrument IMO, and even some workstations-heck it even has some excellent organ patches with a simulated leslie effect and a Wurlitzer-style piano. If anyone ever came up with an FM tine piano on this, I would really be blown away. Amazing with only pulse, sine and sawtooth waves-well a Hammond after all is designed around sine waves isn't it? and FM ain't too far afield of that. signing off-back to work
