Members Awake77 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 LOL ok...Do you agree with this statement Pighood: The Alesis Andromeda A6 sounds a bit chilly, and it's not the most organic-sounding instrument. During the review process, I compared it with a Memorymoog, a Prophet-5, and a Voyetra Eight, and the Andromeda A6 definitely lacked the warmth of those older machines. Certainly, the Andromeda isn't wanting for clarity or punch, and it does have impressive bottom- and top-end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pighood Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 It's all subjective. BRAAAAAAAAAAMP. Now THAT'S organic. I bought the Andromeda NOT to cover the territory of any other vintage synth, but because of the glorious silly noises wot spill forth from the output jacks. So there.

Members Markyboard Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 If you liked that OB-8 YYZ demo someone posted a few weeks ago I attempted to duplicate that sound on the A6 and came real close IMO. It does sound extremely warm if you work it. That does comes easier on the older synths like the Memmoog. But the A6 is capable of so much more. I believe it will be the most sought after keyboard some time after they stop making them. I might pick up a second one at some point for a spare.

Members Awake77 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 Lol BillyWa you GAS inducing bastid! Well, Id probably pick the Andy out of those 4 honestly. Already have the K5K:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else like it really. Awake - did you get that bid in yet?If not, maybe you should get a new one? What if you get an ebay one, open it up, and find cat {censored} in it?

What if you get an ebay one, open it up, and find cat {censored} in it? Dont scare me like that Mildbill!! Used Andy's are about 1/2 the price of a new one...Id have to sell the Z1 and the K5K if I were going to go new, dont want to do that. Paypal + Credit Card are pretty good protection against BS scams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 I've had pretty good luck with stuff I've gotten off ebay, but I've heard a few horror stories. I always buy new if something is still in production, but once they're gone you've got no choice but to buy used, and the selection is always going to be better on ebay than it is locally. Your idea of the Z1, K5000, and an A6 sounds like a mighty fine setup. I like to keep a good rompler around tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Awake77 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well I do have my Yamaha MU100R too, which is currently in for repairs. That's a nice little rompler (actually its got a pretty huge soundset), has the PLG-VL and PLG-VH cards built in. I may swap that VH card for the AN150 card though - just found out I could do that;) I was also thinking of picking up a good soft-rompler like Dimenson Pro, or keeping my idea of getting a JD990. The past couple months have been something of a time for discovery for me, Ive just got into hardware synths and I love it - but realize I'd rather have a few complex, great sounding boards that I can spend time learning extensively rather than a myriad of synths that Ill never use to their full capabilities.

Members midi Posted July 10, 2006 Members Share Posted July 10, 2006 I think a bettter setup is an A6, V-Synth and the Triton EX.And of course everone knows the Red Andy sounds better, the newer ones made by Numark aren't as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
