Alesis Andromeda A6

Hello!

Was ION model based on some specific analog synthesizer? I 
mean, AFAIK Andromeda filters were created with Minimoog and 
Oberheim filters in mind. Was ION modeled after some specific 
synth?

Regards,
Arnaldo.

Amazing! I just read it in the manual! I never saw classic filters 
being emulated with so clear refference as in ION. Simply... 
wonderfull!

About the vocoder: the manual was not clear about the use of power 
processing for vocoder. I mean, is it possible to use the vocoder AND 
have full 8 voice polyphony or the vocoder will reduce polyphony?

Arnaldo.

Yes you will still have full polyphony when you use the vocoder.

The vocoder is in a separate chip - along with the effects.  You always 
have full polyphony.

You have the option of using pretty much any signal for the synthesis 
(carrier) and analysis (modulator) signals.  Besides the typical setup 
(microphone and internal synth sound) you can patch the same signal into 
both vocoder inputs to get a 40-band comb filter effect - great for extra 
"rosiny" Cello and String Bass sounds.  There's a preset called 
"Violacorder" that does this.

You can also use completely external signals for both synthesis and 
analysis - bypassing the internal sounds altogether.  You can patch your 
sampler or rompler in and get a singing trumpet.

Ben, Alesis guy

Hello Ben! Thanks for your answer! I wished every gear-specific list 
would have a gentle person from company's staff to answer the tricky 
questions like we have here!

Still about the vocoder: will I loose effects if I use the vocoder? 
This chip can do vocoder AND effects or vocoder OR effects?

Thanks!
Arnaldo, about to sell his Nova and buy an ION.
