Members Bach42t Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 Good day, Some of the big box online retailers and Sweetwater mention Andromedas are out of stock but on their way the middle of this month. I understand Alesis is not doing any more production runs and making them as they are able to scrounge up parts. Is this the time to buy if you are going to do it new?? I am sorely lacking in the analogue department. I need one badly, but crave that new synth smell, feel and touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Real MC Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's the synth that would not die, in production since 2001. That's an eternity in the MI business that few synths can claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flowthrough Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 indeed- the --Moog Voyager released 2002- still being made... makes me think of the production runs in the last 8-9 years.... Yamaha and Korg seem to release endless versions of their flagship synths every 2-3 years: Motif - 2001Motif ES - 2003Motif XS - 2007 Triton - 1999Triton Studio - 2002Triton Extreme - 2005TR - 2006 Which begs the question: Does the Andromeda still sell so well that a redesign is not necessary to keep sales going? Or is it just something that the current owners 'inherited' and is still making some $$ so they keep it going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorely lacking in the analogue department. I need one badly, but crave that new synth smell, feel and touch. And they keep getting cheaper as well, its unbelievable (i got mine for a mere 2000 euros which is for a synth of its status insanely cheap) ... yeah I think that they are the flagship product of alesis, it sells so no reason to stop them and they get more popular every year. Cause it may be analogue but has the advantages of a digital synth, what more can you ask from a synth ? Alesis play it safe though and they make only fewer than the markets needs. Thus the waiting between manufacturing each batch.... gladly I did a short waiting for my Andromeda, but I gladly would wait for a year, it fully deserves it.

Members stikygum Posted October 7, 2009 Members Share Posted October 7, 2009 I wouldn't hesitate if I were going to buy a new one. You never know when they would stop producing them. The A6 certainly deserves to be in production for a long time. One of the sweetest, deepest and probably most rewarding analogs out there. Still can't believe it's 16 voices of analog for such little cash. Man I want one bad, but can't pull it right now. If I could, I'd be all over one.
