ABOUT A very simple synth that plays one of 50 presets by moving your hand over it. it registers 3 controllers called Axyz - 3 axis like the Phantom X25 Remote Series (sold out).
RCA only, maybe they wanted DJs as buyers.No MIDI.

ABOUT Eigentlich eher ein Controller, allerdings ohne MIDI. Über die Handbewegung kann der Synthesizer gesteuert werden und 50 Sounds gepielt werden. Es gibt 3 Achsen, die ausgewertet werden. 7 LEDs machen diesen Job. Alesis nennt das Axyz-Controller (von x-y-z, also 3 Dimensionen)
Etwas doof: Nur Cinchanschlüsse. Kein MIDI.

DETAILS Like the Korg Kaossilator some (3) parameters are controlled, they are always a bit different - so it reminds a bit of a theremin or a controller. so sometimes there IS a filter or something - here and there.
DETAILS Eigentlich hat er schon Klangparameter, diese werden jedoch über die Controller unterschiedlich verteilt - Oder genauer über die 3 Achsen ähnlich wie beim Korg Kaossilator, der über das 2D Pad gesteuert wird.
D-Beam artiger Controller:

VERSION there is an effects box feat. the same concept called Alesis AirFX.
VERSION Es gibt noch das AirFx, kein Synthesizer sondern ein Effektgerät.
VERSION
ALESIS
strange, they always had real usable things, they invented the ADAT recorders and a series of well known FX boxes. the best known one and now discontinued is the 16 voiced real analogue Andromeda, which drew much more attention to Alesis as a synth manufacturer who instroduced VA synths later. today they changed more to the DAW kind of products which are still interesting like more affordable CC boxes for DAW and Mixing. after the release of Andromeda they went into insolvency and where bought by Numark, the DJ mixer company and the A6 dropped the price but the Andro team was fired. anyway it was the most remarkable product of Alesis ever made. there's no other 16 voice poly synth of that complexity around and will sooner or later be mentioned along with the Jupiter 8, the Matrx 12 or the Prophet 5. So thanks to Dave Bryce and Mike Peake (and others) for struggeling to make it real and hope there will be a second generation "Andromeda" incl. 3 Octave, Desktop and Rack Verison with faster LFO as they all wish.
