Until I can save up for something knobby it's a decent work around for 5 bucks. I'm also working on controlling the 404 effect parameters with an xy pad, just gotta make the template .

I don't really wanna hijack this thread, but I'm getting pretty enthousiastic about the Alesis Ion. Any thoughts on that synth?

I think the ion synth was discontinued because of complaints things were always braking on them apparently, but they repackage the exact synth engine into the alesis micron but with less knobs, the sounds that synth can make are crazy lots of modulation options, plus it can sound really analog too. Shame it would be a bitch to program no without all the knobs of the ion but there is software for it to program it like a soft synth

@ella
It's a reference to Alice in Wonderland (a favorite at my home). Alice finds wonderland when she follows the mr. Rabbit down his hole. But maybe you knew that...
