i have noticed that the ION is very difficult to blend with other
instruments in my studio. it definitely has a thinner sound, or something.
to my ears, it's just not cutting it. of course, it's up against some
serious competition (Virus KB, An200, Novation KS-Rack, etc), so perhaps
there's just more work to be done on it. after reading some of the posts
here regarding other peoples experience with it, i've gone back to try more
programming on it, but it's still eluding me somehow.
the MS2k has a solid buzzy, much more raw sound to it. that's why i like my
AN200 so much, it can be so many different things (buzzy & raw, smooth &
silky). the Ion is good for FM type sounds though, enough so that i sold my
Nord.
