Want to fix up an Alesis Ion left to sit for a few years.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I've got an Alesis Ion i've had sitting at my parents house from years ago I'd like to get back in working order. It turns on and plays but it has a few issues, the volume knob crackles and doesn't seem to get to max volume, theres also a lot of random ghost button presses and all knobs don't really go from 0-100 smoothly, they jump around/get stuck quite a bit.</p> <p>It was covered in dust so I'm hoping maybe if i open it up and clean it out and spray the pots with contact cleaner it'll fix most of these issues, just curious if anyone has any experience with this synth.</p> <p>Also lastly I tried getting the last firmware but the alesis website doesn't even have the ion listed anywhere anymore, am I out of luck? or is there somewhere to find it on the internet?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Dabirdd"> /u/Dabirdd </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ilbcqq/want_to_fix_up_an_alesis_ion_left_to_sit_for_a/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/ilbcqq/want_to_fix_up_an_alesis_ion_left_to_sit_for_a/">[comments]</a></span>
