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.

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). Yahoo!
