Welcome!

Thank you for making the Alesis Ineko™ a part of your studio.

Since 1984, we've been designing and building creative tools for

the audio community. We believe in our products, because

we've heard the results that creative people like you have

achieved with them. One of Alesis' goals is to make high-quality

studio equipment available to everyone, and this Reference

Manual is an important part of that. After all, there's no point in

making equipment with all kinds of capabilities if no one

explains how to use them. So, we try to write our manuals as

carefully as we build our products.

The goal of this manual is to get you the information you need as

quickly as possible, with a minimum of hassle. We hope we've

achieved that. If not, please drop us an email and give us your

suggestions on how we could improve future editions of this

manual.

We hope your investment will bring you many years of creative

enjoyment and help you achieve your goals.

Sincerely,

The people of Alesis

How to Use This Manual

This manual is divided into the following sections describing the

various functions and applications of the Ineko. While it's a

good idea to read through the entire manual once carefully,

users who are already familiar with studio equipment can use

the table of contents to look up specific functions.

Chapter 1: Quick Start. If you're already familiar with

recording, this will get you started using the Ineko right away.

It's a short guide to the essential elements of connections and

operation.

Chapter 2: Connections. This section gives detailed instructions

for connecting the Ineko to a variety of typical audio systems.

Chapter 3: Basics of Effects. This section explains what an

effects processor does and explains the function of each of the

controls.

Chapter 4: Description of Programs. This chapter lists each of

the programs and gives a description of their parameters.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting. Refer to this chapter if you

experience any problems while using the Ineko.

Helpful tips and advice are highlighted in a shaded box like this.

The names of specific controls or connectors on the Ineko are

printed in a special font, i.e., the BYPASS button.

✪When something important appears in the manual, an icon

(like the one on the left) will appear in the left margin. This

symbol indicates that this information is vital when operating

the Ineko.
