Picked up a Alesis Micron

Did a trade for some hardware and acquired this Alesis Micron. I pretty impressed with it so far. The interface kind of sucks since there is only 3 -4 keys to do all editing with. So as you can imagine editing is kind of tedious. The sounds are pretty fat, not as fat as my Korg MicroX, but decent.

Cables .. I hate buying cables..

It just seems like a never ending battle of keeping cables around. Weather you play a venue or a house party it always seem someone walks off with a cable or two. I wanted to get some nice sturdy cables for my "Gun Case" and started looking around. I came across a company that makes the cables or sells you the bulk cable and ends.

The prices are not that bad and they have something that I have never seen, right angled MIDI cables. This would be perfect for my case since all the cables are routed under the foam.



Over the next couple of days i will be taking an inventory of all my "travel" cables and see what all I need to order.
