The best product Alesis have ever made in my opinion, which admittedly
says a lot for my opinion of Alesis. A simple preset-only effects box
with the usual range of bread and butter effects, the MIDIverb II
nevertheless has some nice clean reverbs, including some wonderful
blooms, and some gentle chorusing programs. All the other Alesis boxes
I've come across, including the flagship QuadraVerb 2, somehow seem
grubby and characterless by comparison. Of course, your mileage will
vary.
Oh: don't lose the instruction chart for the thing. Otherwise you'll
come to the unit one day and realise you've totally forgotten how to
set up the program change map.
