Enjoy The Silence (Alesis micron)

[@KDMatt]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who did this when he got his Micron. I'm pretty sure "Enjoy the Silence" was the first thing I attempted with mine out of the box.

[@jonclyne2918]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

[@ncwebm5507]

Nice cover and a superb demonstration of the micron's sequencing-abilities.

[@kingofallwhites]

What's it a cover of?

[@warriordanika]

Depech Mode - Enjoy the Silence

[@jodo985]

Your version kicks ass. Usually I’m a stickler for an exact reproduction but this is a super cool interpretation.

[@bountykiller91]

when I programmed the micron for this song, I splitted the keyboard in 3 parts: drum, bass, and chords. I assigned the X knob at the bass part. You can do it with the micron.

[@thomasekman4548]

Great job

[@gjc82071]

Cool stuff. I love the Micron's sound.

[@charnk]

Love this little synth. I may get it just cause its so darnn cute. Nice playing btw.

[@iwa3]

Nice play, nice Micron !

[@Muirragui]

Very cool man!!! Cheers!!

[@bountykiller91]

thank you for the comment, your question was my problem too when I bought micron. I chose micron than the microkorg for this points: 1) it's better played on stage 2) the keys is more big [so you can play with more comfort] 3) filters are very simple to use 4)drums and pads are perfect for trance [you can listen some trance song with micron on youtube]. If you want you can plug to the micron a microphone for the vocoder. I hope to have helped you. Keep me update about your chose!

[@oddtmlp]

I honestly wish you lived near me so you can teach me how to use my Micron better! This is so awesome and inspirational. Great job.

[@stevo0476]

Nice! cheers

[@hotdogsoda4717]

Farkin' love it!

[@yahairavanmalkenhorst6985]

So cool- thanks for makin' me smile!

[@_R0BB_]

I was singing a long to this! Nice cover!

[@MarcMansfieldMusic]

that sounds great! i'm looking at getting one of these!

[@boozydaboozer]

Well done.

[@paralentor]

Dude you had me crooning they lyrics, vwd.

[@RomanceIsDeadUK]

This is so awesome ima cry

[@pss-270casio-coremusic.5]

Cool work.

[@xmqs]

That Totally ROCKS! ...er, uh ..Synths!

[@TheKiriru]

This song is too good!

[@mrsteirisch]

great sound 10 stars

[@bountykiller91]

hahah! live in U.S.A. would be my dream!! thank you very much for your comment:) I think very important split the keyboard much as possible and add at least 2 - 3 sounds for every part. In general I think the crescendo is the best effect for every song, so you should work with the drum passages!! :D best wishes for your music career and your micron from italy!

[@klassklassklass]

very nice - quick question - Micron v Microkorg (for trance) - any opinion?

[@MrJulioTelevision]

Babe rocks! ;)

[@nateaylay3003]

this was sickkk. Micron is tough. Crazy sound from this thing

[@firefly618]

I once read an article about the Micron. IIRC the user interface (knob positions, buttons, menu levels and such) although minimalistic, was designed by a very famous software person, who did it as an off project, then went on to do other things. That's why it's so unique, even among other Alesis products. The synth underneath is the same as the ION, that is to say, an amazing analog modeling synth using high resolution DSPs. You would be hard pressed to find something as powerful, programmable, yet raw analog-sounding as the Micron, certainly not in its price range. Too bad they never upgraded it with a more modern display and menu system. That's the only part that has aged quite a bit. But people just create patches for it on the PC and upload them through MIDI.

[@Bazandanlan]

Bravo!

[@bountykiller91]

@Madmarc1821 yes, the micron has very beautiful sounds to do '80 synth music:)

[@ifaber68]

Bravo :-)

[@MrMoldGRavy]

what did you line in to for sound? and is that a preset software or did you get that somewhere? if so, where? thankyou!

[@Bazandanlan]

Sweet!

[@klassklassklass]

@bountykiller91 hey there! Yep I'll keep you updated no prob, and thanks very much for comprehensive answer. This (Enjoy the Silence) is (again) really really cool. Also considering Ultranova

[@TRUCKMANhungary]

perfect! grat.

[@canevolante1]

bella babe!

[@Digiphex]

It's all about what you do with your equipment, and here you burned it down my bro.

[@bountykiller91]

I love it too :D

[@bountykiller91]

@smartwerker For stand do you mean the alesis support? I've built it some time ago;)

[@vixus0]

But if the X knob is assigned to a parameter for the chords then does that sound not change as well? What I mean is, how do you choose which program the X knob is affecting?

[@robertbrown9137]

Nice Done - Dude.

[@bountykiller91]

Thank you very much mr. Brown!

[@Hexdrine]

Love i. I hear a little Chu Ishikawa in this, that's a good thing

[@Impulse-One]

Would you recommend the Allesis micron? I'm looking for another..currently have the microkorg s and need another now..fab job on this cover..loving it I've subscribed:)

[@bassura226]

WOW!!!

[@vixus0]

How are you modifying just the bass sound using the X knob? Does it not alter the other programs as well?

[@eastlake93]

Is $200 a good price to pay for one of these?

[@ronconcoca666]

The drum is from the alesis to?

[@smartwerker]

what stand is that..........i can never seem to track down a stand like that!

[@bountykiller91]

yes, I used a sequencer for the bass line ( and a low pass filter) and a sequencer for the synth line. the last 3 keys of the micron are for the drum session.

[@laliskim4850]

ARP i find.Tell me pls PAD ,BASS name?

[@fallloftroy]

I fucking love music.

[@nickeeboy]

Cool

[@bountykiller91]

Yes:)Depeche Mode change the way of make music!

[@dirt0jumping]

@smartwerker search up the yorkville sound deluxe triple x braced keyboard stand

[@musicxtn]

I notice you are using mono out only. Is the stereo use a major difference to image of Sound? Nice work man!!!!

[@MrMoldGRavy]

@bountykiller91 oh okay that makes sense now. thanks!

[@bountykiller91]

Hi, Yes in this setup I change the parameter of the LP filter using the X knob only for the bass part of the keyboard.

[@couchcamperTM]

amazing what you can do with this little synth (you, not me lol)

[@nientenullanessuno]

Ciao e complimenti! Cercavo un piccolo synth non troppo complicato e costoso. Lo volevo dotato di sequencer e arpeggiatore; tu cosa mi consiglieresti?

[@bountykiller91]

Ciao Gianni grazie mille:) se conosci un po' di sintesi sonora ti consiglierei di cercare in qualche mercatino di musica online ( visto che ormai è fuori produzione) un Alesis micron perché è completo come synth anche se di dimensioni ridotte, ha sia arpeggiatore che sequencer ( cosa non comune infatti molti piccoli synth hanno solo L arpeggiatore) e ti permette di dividere la tastiera a tuo piacimento assegnando strumenti/ arpeggiatori/sequencer anche ad ogni singolo tasto così puoi veramente avere sotto mano la gestione di una traccia complessa facendo partire le parti quando vuoi. Se invece sei nuovo con i sintetizzatori dovresti avvicinarti a questo mondo passando per strumenti più ricchi di manopole e cursori così da avere un approccio anche visivo che aiuta molto all inizio. Allora in questo caso L unica cosa che puoi fare É farti una bella scorpacciata di video su KZbin di tutorial dopo aver letto le schede tecniche dei synth nei negozi online.

[@nientenullanessuno]

Grazie mille! Qualcosa capisco di programmazione anche se convengo con te che delle vere e proprie manopole sarebbero molto più comode per editare il suono. L'aspetto che vorrei prediligere al momento, è la possibilità di creare una sorta di loop con più layer di suoni diversi, in maniera estemporanea senza ricorrere a software esterni e proprio per questo pensavo al micron. TI ringrazio ancora per i preziosi consigli! ciao

[@bountykiller91]

Prego gianni! Leggo che per il lavoro che vorresti fare te, il top sarebbe avere una tastiera midi con la quale andresti a controllare un software come Abletone, fruitloop, ecc. Adesso Però fanno anche degli ibridi tra workstation e synth che permettono di registrare nella macchina dei giri di sequencer o addirittura tracce ma possiedono anche potenziometri come filtri, risonanze, effetti vari e generatori di suoni personalizzabili che poi puoi salvarti. Guarda la gamma korg o roland dove puoi trovare cose abbordabili ;)

[@nientenullanessuno]

Grazie ancora! ciao

[@bountykiller91]

thank you for your comment. Yes, this sounds are only from micron. I have modified, split and amounted some preset sounds!

[@bountykiller91]

@KDMatt don't worry you aren't the only one:) I think Depeche Mode were the reason I started to play synth;)

[@djmcbell]

Where is the iconic riff to that song. It was completely left out

[@Acme-l7k]

te l'ha comprato paparino quel gioiellino?

[@shubakah]

Can you make l a tutorial video for this please..!! :)

[@bountykiller91]

@BIGGrobb I'm glad :D thank you so much;)

[@RomanceIsDeadUK]

[@bountykiller91]

[@bountykiller91]

@TRUCKMANhungary thank you friend;)

[@bountykiller91]

thank you ;D ;D

[@bountykiller91]

@klassklassklass Yes I think Novation is better than micron (is newer and a little more complex) , but depend of how much you want spend!

[@bountykiller91]

@FarmerItaly heyla' boss;) è si devo dire che mi piace proprio! dai che devi caricare un video ti te che suoni firts blood di Rambo! :)

[@bountykiller91]

@tastydolphinbrain Thank you friend;)

thank you for your comment!

[@bountykiller91]

@MEZKAHN Thank you friend :D

[@bountykiller91]

@boozydaboozer thanx!;)

[@bountykiller91]

@MrMoldGRavy Hi, for play this song I mixed together some sounds of the micron (like voices and bells)but I created a personal setting splitting the keyboard in three parts : High part -(Pad), Central part - (Sequencer and Bass) - Low part (Drums). the filters was setting by me too.

[@bountykiller91]

@NielsHammersMusic :) thanks!

[@bountykiller91]

@Mistresswraith Thank you very much :D

[@bountykiller91]

@MrJulioTelevision Julio rules;)

[@bountykiller91]

@stevo0476 Thank you very much;)

[@bountykiller91]

hi, yes all sounds are from micron

[@Sprezlaus]

I'm selling mine after seeing this video...

[@ReneeNme]

Well, you're a dumbass. If you honestly own one, which I doubt, you'd be a fool to get rid of it as the cost of them keeps going up.

[@wisnuprasetyo3319]

Enjoy the silence

[@bountykiller91]

haha:D I like your comment;) thank you;)

[@Mike.Garcia]

that's all coming from the keyboard right?

[@bountykiller91]

Yes,all sounds come from alesis

[@Mike.Garcia]

very cool!

[@danielarteta2476]

Even percussion?!

[@Mike.Garcia]

yeah... it's a pretty cool little keyboard.. I sold mine years ago,

[@ReneeNme]

That's a shame, gwald. They'll have to pry my Micron from my dying arms. My Yamaha CS1x too.

[@bountykiller91]

it's an affair ;)

[@bountykiller91]

= D

[@graywolf2004ru]

Should be nice, if not crappy mic audio. Why didn't you care to record from line in?

[@bountykiller91]

no, lavoro.

[@SuperEgido]

ZZZZzzzz....

[@bountykiller91]

:D thank you!

[@bountykiller91]

thank you ;D
