"For our live setup, one of the keyboard players in my band plays my MIDI’d Prophet-5 along with an Alesis Ion. One really annoying detail of the Ion is that it’s really a bitch to change patches quickly on it (before you write and tell us how incompetent we are, try doing it in the roughly one second time period between a verse and a chorus, while continuing to play something with your other hand). You can either hit one of the tiny, poorly located, poorly labled up/down buttons, or you can take your chances with the inc/dec knob and hope you don’t overshoot it by turning it too far. Now, the humble Prophet-5 has eight BIG, LED-lit program select buttons right by the keyboard that you CAN’T miss- much better."
