RE: [Andromeda_A6-ION] Ion vs NL2x

2003-10-29 by Jim Cowgill

Yes the many of the ION's presets suck.  But, as an owner of the ION and
the Nord Lead 2 rack (not x), the ION does sound a little bright,
brittle, and digital.  The waves are sometimes too perfect.  I tell you
what really sounds analog, my Korg MonoPoly, Prophet 600 and Moog Rogue.
There just is no substitute, for real analog.  The ION is great for all
the control, in the Mod Matrix, and the many filter types.  The ION is
good for it's unique sound, but it is digital and does have aliasing.
Still, for $650 US, it's pretty damn strong.
 
Peace,
Jimbo

Heyho group,

i was today testdriving the Ion in comparison also a NordLead 2x.

I thought after playing the Ion, that the NL2x sounds warmer, 
fatter, more analog...or was my ears playing me a trick? Or is it 
just that the Ion presets simply sucks? (yes of course i tweaked 
them also...still the NL2x sounded better to me).
