press the mod matrix button to the left of the LCD, you can route various midi control ##s, footpedal, mod wheel 1 or 2 etc to any of the envelope parameters
2) Set a synth sound to decay (like hitting a piano or guitar string) rather than sustaining infinitely? It seems like this should be doable, but I haven't been able to accomplish it).
go to the envelope generator section, press the "amp" button, and turn the "sustain level" knob till it's at zero. The decay time knob then adjusts the time it takes for the sound to die away.

revive ion/micron vs ms2000/microkorg debate
which sounds more analogue

also are there others that have surpassed these? nord? novation?

imo the microkorg has higher quality, crunchier sounds but the ion is more versatile (so many of the microkorg's presets are very lol '90s). also it seems easier to mess with the parameters on the ion, but i haven't gotten too deep with that on either one.
all that said, i don't regret trading in the ion for the microkorg, which feels more fun to mess around with.

honestly i stick to about four sounds (from the "hip-hop/vintage/retro" banks) and fuck around with those, a lot of the other stuff sounds corny to me.
i was thinking of asking IMM to recommend another keyboard to me that would complement the microkorg and not be too expensive...

you should look into loading the presets from the ms2000 onto it which are supposedly less cheesy
