Excellent
In 1989, Alesis Studio Electronics, and associates put on the market a range of effects and processors numriques, called MICRO SERIES, featuring six lments Stereo: a gate, a LIMITED A EQUALIZER (be the only monaural), an enhancer, a headphone amplifier (2), call CUE AMP and finally the excellent MICROVERB II. None of these products n'taient and MIDI connectivity was via input / output jack impdence high, except the CUE AMP, so for instruments only. Three of these lments cte cte allowed to form a rack 1 U SPECIFICATIONS silent transformer provided. Simple, basic and robust, these instruments are emerging as a bit limited, especially in ... relationship.
UTILIZATION
The limit is actually a limiter / compressor, whose bandwidth is between 20 Hz and 20 kHz, it resembles an inter-active fader, which from a certain threshold, automatically lowers the volume in a Determines a percentage ratio. When it is + infinity / 1, it is a limiter, with a ratio infrieur is a simple compressor. LIMITED limiters be distinct from the standard, in that it automatically RULES threshold and ratio as a function of potentiomtre the input level (input), located most left. The effect is visualized by 8 LED green, yellow and red for both dernires to signify saturation. The release (deuxime potentiomtre, middle) Determines the time taken by the compressor to recover the original gain in the threshold-dea. Finally the output right will catch the loss level, due to compression, and a 100 db can trs bad! We understand when ds, that this instrument is the specialist in tonn, but in contrast, trs intuitive, IDAL is for musicians like me who do not want to take the head! As for the manual in French, it is trspdagogique, trsdtaill real physics course!
SOUND QUALITY
The limited, as the gate and the ENHANCER are processors, not the effects is that they treat the totality of the signal, it would be a mistake to use the aux. This limiter provides a powerful and warm.
All three, I've posted in that order, between a pre-amp and mixer. This pre-amp with auxiliary input-output, is a multi-dot effect, the SE-50, the signal that comes from eight kinds reoit Sampler of S 950 and some analog synths cheap, like the proton and the Evolver ...
Can you imagine what it all can give!
OVERALL OPINION
This processor was trading at when it was released in 1989, like all others of the SERIES, 1700 FF (except MicroVerb, worth 2 400 FF), but only 800 FF, used in 1992 Music Nation probably also more expensive, more expensive, I could not. 15 years APRS it works perfectly.
Today, Alesis has released a similar range, from 14 modules composs plastic pice 180 euros: the MOD FX, innovative design, richness and originality of the effects and especially what did not have the MICRO SERIES of yesteryear, a decision on the ct parallle allow the side chain, but can we also put them in a rack of three, I do not know?
The limitation of this new series I parat most advanced ... but I think for 50 euros, it is better to buy a MICRO LIMITER, good condition before trying it!
