PLEEAAASE make the full cover of this you were talking about... it'd be one of my favourite songs ever if you did =D

[Tonedefdom]

this is cool, i can imagine it being used in a Trance tune, I picture lasers and a crowd with their hands up! well done!

[KevWillow7]

the sounds youve used remind me alot of Kim Cairnes Bette Davis Eyes!

[neonc0re]

i'm in love with those sounds!

i've been thinking of getting the ion for a while now. do you think it would be too rough to handle for a beginner or would i manage it?

[adzy31]

actually i'm finding it really easy for a newbie. the menu system is really intuitive, the layout is sensible and i found the yahoo 'alesis-ion' group, those guys are a great source of help. highly recommended, for the money it's the most versatile synth out there i reckon.

[pillowheadkiss]

beautiful. It's good to me.

Haha nice one!!

Considering the Ion has been discontinued a while, where did you get it from? I've been looking for one.

eBay - cheap because it has a scratch on the front panel, which I don't care about really as long as it sounds good :)

I think I was lucky - mine seems fairly reliable, whereas most people advise to buy one new, as some of the earlier runs had reliability issues.
