I just got a used Alesis Ion as my first hardware synth. Did I make a good choice?

A MIRACLE posted:Yea definitely that thing is awesome I’m loving it. It makes awesome sounds and has a shitton of features. Finding out I can set the release to “hold” to turn anything into an instant drones was mind blowing. I haven’t even started exploring the tons of filter options this thing has, but then that’s an area of synth wisdom I haven’t explored much of. What are some good resources explaining different filter types and how they shape the sound?

I ordered a DIY sequencer module kit (https://division-6.com/products/dual-mini-sequencer/) and finished the soldering today but I must have messed up because the CV outputs aren’t working. I’ll order the completed version instead, but I think I‘ve acquired a taste for electronics tinkering. Might have to look through garage sales this summer for stuff to circuitbend.

Huh, I just trimmed a few bad globs of solder and both sequencers of the Division-6 are mostly working… except the CV output on the top one is now both out of tune and swinging wildly in frequency.  Since this is a post about modular diagnostics I might as well show off my rack. It’s a custom case from eBay, a Behringer Neutron, Mutable instruments Beads and Plaits, a mixer, VCA, the Division-6 Dual, and three clock modules (generator, divider, multiplier)

This is also the first Chinese-designed synth I’ve heard of, I’m hoping to see more Chinese firms design their own synths. President Xi, my people yearn for robot farts.

I’ve been trying to buy a Digitone, but the seller I ordered from on Reverb refunded saying they couldn’t fill the order. Then I tried ordering from another seller, and they said the same thing! Is there something going on with the supply of Digitones or am I just unlucky?

Coolnezzz posted:Sounds like bad luck. I'll sell you mine, was listed as mint when I bought on Reverb, used exactly once. It's a perfectly fine piece of gear but GAS got the better of me with that one. I was going to list it in the gear trade thread later today in fact. Oh awesome, thanks!

Is there anything on the market that’s like a modern take on the EMU Emulator II? I mean a keyboard instrument where I can load it with audio samples, apply filters/envelopes/modulation, and play it all with polyphony? And don’t say “a DAW  ”

Immediate got GAS for this, plus I just sold my previous (Behringer) MIDI-to-CV module and this is much more powerful. https://youtu.be/jkMMAuse5HA
