Frequently Asked
Questions

How do I split/layer the keyboard?

It is not uncommon to want to "split" a keyboard so that different
ranges are playing different sounds. An example would be a bass
sound for the Left hand and a lead sound for the Right hand.
Similarly, it is often desirable to layer or "stack" multiple sounds
onto the same key(s). An example of this would be layering
multiple brass or string sounds to emulate a brass (or string)
"section".
In the Micron, splits and layers are functions of the setup mode. In
setups, navigate to each part's low keys and high keys screens to assign
splits and layers. See chapter 5 – Setups – for additional detail.

What is a MIDI Sequence?

A MIDI sequence is a data file containing note data that can be
played on a MIDI synthesizer like the Micron.

Where can I get more Programs?

Additional Program Banks will be available on the Alesis website
free of charge. See the chapter 8 "MIDI" for more information on
how to load the additional Programs into your Micron.
Are Micron programs compatible with Ion
programs?
Yes! In fact, you can load Ion programs directly into the Micron –
and vice versa – using MIDI SysEx.
