Children of Micron

[@surfpsych]

This ancient, archaeological Micron video is still spectacular.

[@jonclyne2918]

Still enjoying nearly 15 years later. Thanks for sharing.

[@djomdog]

NICE...

[@slopienKA]

no teraz wysluchalam oryginalu, swietny mix, super ze dzwiek sie nasila przy koncu..

[@strymfir]

I just bought a micron the other day. I think its a great synth for flat out jamming and creating "rough drafts" of full songs. This makes me so happy to see what the micron can do. I have a feeling we are just now starting to push the micron to see what it can really do.

Picked one up at a carboot in Feb 2018 without a power pack .... guy said he got it in a house clearance and didn’t know if it worked ..... let me have it for £35 with one slider button missing ..... took a gamble ....got it home, fixed the correct powerpack to it ..... booted up clean as a whistle, sounds great ..... best bargain on the planet! Word of warning, so many layers and options to creating/sculpting the sounds ..... this beast is not easy to programme ...... this guy has worked for effin hours to programme and play this sequence to this standard ..... there is a Ctrlr editor/programmer you can get for all 3 platforms PC/Mac/ Linux that can make programming thru midi a helluva lot easier ..... I haven’t set mine up with it yet, but definitely worth getting as a free download: ctrlr.org/akai-miniak-alesis-micron/

Yes, the Micron can be a pain in the butt if you're wanting to program/edit your own sounds and are a newbie, but out of the box they are magic whether you are new to the synth scene or are a experienced programmer. There are all of these newer low cost machines out there nowadays such as the Arturia~Microbrute ( monologue ), Akai~Timbre Wolf ( polyphonic ), and the Korg~Minilogue ( polyphonic ), but yet the Micron can still do almost everything that those machines can do. It's like a we are stuck in a loop. New machines, same sounds.

Just a great presentation.

[@flyawaytigers]

Nice tune on that little thing. Breaking mine out tonight and got it wired into Ableton!

[@86scirocco8v]

The micron is great! I cant stop jamming on mine, even though I still havent used patterns or setups at all yet, just played around with individual programs. Nice to see what can be done when you get deeper into it. great interpretation of the original! Loved it! 5*

[@FordPickUPRed]

Monster underrated synth.

[@WilliamFlim]

Sounds great! catch & dreamy. great job :) I'm getting a miniak in 2 weeks :p first synth, great price

[@diamonddust22]

Great job brother. I really love your music. Hope you make more.

[@diegotartaglia]

Congratulations, great work!

[@xbinaryx]

whoa did'nt know the micron can do that.. i'm impressed! very warm sounding and you sure can handle it! nice stuff!

[@JoeyAgrelo]

Children of Micron is still my favorite of all, just something about it, specially that sweeping note using the pitch wheel at 2:36, you could practically build an entire song on that sound... still wishing the piece was at least twice as long :) maybe when you get to the end, revert back to 0.16, let the drums continue, then go through the entire piece again... please don't take this as criticism, your work is awesome, it's more of a wishful request ;)

[@gupotus]

very nice song :)

[@JohnLRice]

Very excellent!

[@Synthdude13]

this thing rocks! I like those beat and the layers! I've the Ion that thing is one sick VA synth the emulates the nicest synths ever made. For everyone that don't know what the Ion is, it's the bigger brother of the micron with the same sounds (some not) and it has more knobs like on a real analog synth! Nice song BTW! +5

[@chadinterrupted]

@rincewind801 Thanks for the insight. I think the coolest sound you're getting that I'm most interested in would have to be the one that kicks in or becomes noticeable around at 1:40 when you adjust the mod/slider bar lol whatever. Whatever layer that is that became noticeable has to be one of the most unique things I've heard come from a keyboard. It's beautiful. I have the Roland SH-201 and have had it forever and I love it to death but I'm looking for something new and LOVE micron so far!

[@novadavies]

this is really brilliant, great job :D

[@dudewhosaysarrh]

@cardinalvincent But on the miniak, the volume knob is right next to the control knob, so that's not really an improvement ;-)

[@ChasRochfort]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!

[@angst242]

nice, i was thinking about buying on of these, it's between this and the Akia AK Mini, though this is a little cheaper and sounds just as nice.

[@angst242]

@cardinalvincent agreed, however for the price difference I don't see enough advantage over the micron. but anyway, I went ahead and bought one and I'm really enjoying it!

[@G8tr1522]

@rincewind801 Ah. Thats no problem though. I'm getting a volume pedal soon anyways. Thanks!

[@mien0ruis]

wow, very nice i like this :)

[@mib32]

i will not know untill micron arrives to me, but i clearly hear that it will take a lot of arp patterns. the main thing though is fast random panning L-R-L-R imho

[@moogy77]

THAT, was fucking excellent.

[@Mibrilane]

i don't get it - are you saying he's lying? the micron was made exactly for this type of music, as long as one doesn't play more than 8 voices at a time, this is what you can do. it's an awesome little thing. my review: well done!

[@mayonaise324]

Are the reverb and delay effects straight from the Micron? btw great job!

[@mib32]

that's crazy, after that i really belive that my dream to cover lucid dreams of franz ferdinand can be not so impossible

[@chadinterrupted]

@rincewind801 I'm sure. Thanks.

[@ussardor]

I love it. can u give me the download link please? i want the mp3.

[@me0307]

fuckkinnn crazzzyyyyy

[@hdebbache2000]

TR-808 or TB-303? Anyways, very nice vid, from a Micron owner

[@airmiami]

This is wonderful! Do you stay with the same sound preset the whole time?

[@murph9935]

Now that I have seen this, I will never again be able to look at my completely factory patched Miniak without realizing I am an ignorant wuss and do not deserve to own such a machine.

[@G8tr1522]

@rincewind801 And what about the pitch wheel? can it be assigned as well?

[@G8tr1522]

I know you can assign any parameters to the sliders, but what about the knobs?

[@chadinterrupted]

Can you please tell me what sounds you're using on it or how you customized them if you did at all? I'm thinking of buying this behemoth of a mini synthesizer soon!

[@KG88KiteGodMusic]

hey i have a question man, im buying an alesis really soon, now.. what exactly do i need to do to record the sounds into a program like Ableton or fruity loops. not as a controller to use those program's sounds but to actually like be able to record ya know?

[@ussardor]

whats the name of it? how to search it?

[@kickflipindy78]

does a micron have an arpegiator

[@-_-MARANTZ]

Does a shark have fins?

[@MrKnnknn]

Very nice composition, lose the snare though, my opinion .. :)
