Hey guys!! :D

I´m planning to buy 2 new synths in the next few weeks, one of them the A-6 Andromeda.
I´ve tried the A-6 some years ago in a music store, and I remember it sounded just great!!

Untill then, do any of you have any links to sites where I can hear some sound snippets (demoes) of the A-6?? Some preset sounds maybe? I´m just curious of how it sounds, and how I look at it today! :wink:

I´ve tried the homepage of Alesis, but can´t seem to find any demoes of it there!?


Any help would be really nice!! :D


Big time
King of smileys :D

Don't look forward to it too much because I'll be stealing it from your house in a matter of days :P
Just a few plays on this and I came out of it going "WOW!!!!!" Alesis did it again with this one.

...Once upon a time... Alesis used to have demos on their web.
Now, like it happened with ION, its seems at least to me that they don't put demos anymore. ( :roll: )
I can still find their old interactive demo here:

Well, better than nothing...

(the flash file should be played in a 540 x 380 window, if you open it fullscreen it gets quite crappy...)

I wouldn't judge a synth by it's presets. Never. And in this particular case it doesn't do the synth any justice at all!

There are some neat demos as well as a good review on www.bluesynths.com. You'll have to register there, but believe me, it's a great site... ;)

it is definitely worth registering on bluesynths.com

You can also try searching for the Andromeda on the Vintage Synth Explorer forum.

There have been many great demos demonstrating specific parts of it.
