And I love it!

After a warmup, I checked all the voices were auto-tuning and they all passed. And then I jumped into the gorgeous, deep sounds. Spent slightly too long doing Blade Runner riffs on the 'Unicorn Memories' patch. Whoever programmed that patch, respect.

I've been thinking about buying one for about two years now but I held off because of all the horror stories. Last week, I just decided to take the risk and I'm now glad I did: it's a monster synth!

I'm also new to electro-music.com so, hello! Very Happy

Thank you, sunny! I've been lurking on this forum for a bit and read a lot of your posts. Very Happy

I started making my own patches last night and I love the sound of the A6. Although it's not the same as my other analogue polysynths (of course), it's easily in the same league. And the mod-routing possibilities... Shocked

Welcome dude!
Great that you bought one. I've have one for some time now and i'm totally noob with it, hopefully someday i find time to learn this thing.
Yeh, unicorn memories Very Happy It's super great patch even being a preset.

Andro is way above them right? =)

Thanks, Divyx! I haven't had enough time playing with it this week as I've been doing a studio re-wire and sticking up loads of smelly foam. Sad

I'm going to get programming and bung up some patches on here. I hope to see more patches from other Andy owners too!

As for comparisons - I can't say that the Andy is better or worse than my JP8, Memorymoog or JX-3P, just different. It's a great polysynth, and, imho, a future classic polysynth.

I'm one of those crazy peeps who doesn't believe in huge wars about synths / computer OSes / recording formats. There's a place for everything! I love my Andromeda but I also love my Virus Polar, my Micron, my X-50.

That being said... how ace is the ribbon controller! Very Happy

Ooh, just noticed you're a Fin - I played in Helsinki and Turku in '06, I love Finland! Especially those gorgeous double-decker trains. What a beautiful country! Smile
