Hi there,
I'm using an Alesis Micron to control my Minimax, and I've discovered that it's an ideal controller if you wand to use keyboard splits with an ASB.
In the Micron's Setups (multis), you have 26 parts which are tagged A - Z. A is output on midi channel 1, B on ch2...etc. Part Z being ch 26.
If you set your ASB to channel 1, the Micron's part A (on any setup patch) will be the one that is output to the ASB. If you set part A's note hi = C3 and note low = C4 (or whatever you want) then only that octave will play on the ASB. Remember to set the microns volume for part A to 0. Each Micron multi patch can have different ASB splits.
Now you can set up the Microns other parts to different splits for it's internal sounds.
If your Micron's pichbend wheel or mod (m1) and aftertouch (m2) sliders don't work with the ASB, make sure that they're enabled in part A
It's made my Minimax much more useable in my set-up, cause I use lots and lots of splits.

hey, not really minimax related at all, but I just got me a micron, and was wondering what gig bag you use. The closest match I could find besides the one from alesis (which I can't really find) is the gator 2110 bag. But frankly, I don't think either one of these have too small pockets so I was wondering if there were alternatives.
Hi there,
I don't use a gig bag, I have a custom made flight case which cost about 70 UK pounds.
The case was made a few years before I got the Micron though. It think it was originally made for my Yamaha MFC10 midi foot controller (I think). I've used the case for a few things over the past few years, like 25 note keyboard controllers FX pedals and more recently a Boss RC-50 Loop Station.
I recommend getting a hard case, rather than a gig bag. www.thomann.de is a great place to find flight cases for anything.
Hope this helps,
D.
