Alesis Micron FM Experimentation


YouTube via Gtechture.
"What you are hearing is Oscillator 1. The volume of OSC 2 and 3 are at 0%. They are being used to modulate the frequency of OSC 1. I have assigned "FM" Amount to knob x, "FM Type" to y and "Osc Sync" to z. I have only touched upon the FM capabilties of the micron. The end result of FM can be manipulated and is affected by an large quantity of parameters for each oscillator such as waveforms, waveshape, pitch."

  1. I really like my micron. I find that it sounds good and it is one of the better "budget" synths out there. The interface is pretty nice, but like any menu driven synth it isnt always intuitive.

  2. Wow. That is FM to the bone. Sounds just like my Yamaha PSS-170 (2 op FM sounds).
