[elektron] Off-Topic: Ion

2003-09-10 by Damon Menne

Aren't we supposed to be seeing the Ion Rack announcement any day now?

I spent a good six hours on an Ion a week or so ago and was just 
astounded.  I'm glad I brought my MD, I'd have been bummed to not at 
least sample some of the sounds I got it to scream out.

The interface almost feels like cheating, and nothing's sounded 
anywhere near as smooth -- it doesn't feel like VA at all... smooth 
glides on every param.   No more 127 steps... 8 voices is slim, but not 
when you think of it in the context of analog beasts.
