Well it isn't that new. I don't remember when it was released but Klaus Schulze already use it, he made a demostration cd. The crystal Method used it on an album from 2004.
At first I wasn't that impressed by this thing but then I have started to like it. It is just far too expensive for my economy.

I found it when browsing earlier and the website I saw it listed on said it was ' new', thats were I lifted the info from. . . So it's not that new then.

Oh yes, the Andromeda A6 is quite old now, or maybe it is a MKII

It's at least 7-year old.

And I don't know if they still build them... So I thought they had made another true analog synth. What a disappointment...

Hmmm, Bonners Music Superstore need to do something about their website, its them who are advertising it

Maybe it hasn't been updated in 7 years... That's the problem with internet. Sometimes very old information is given as new on some websites.

They probably list them as "New" because you can still buy them...

Its the only newer generation of virtual Analog emulators that uses "Real Analog"

This synth is years old now was originally released around 2000/01,its on my secondhand wishlist,average secondhand values are about £750-900,new they still retail for about £1300 or less,I seriously want one of these beast they sound awesome,its next in the wishlist Q
