Freaking LOVE it. I mean I'm continually amazed at the sounds this thing puts out. The controls are SO simple, but its just puts out massive sounds. One OSC on the LP sounds bigger than multiple OSCS on my soft synths. I've been mainly using it for bass and FX but i just started doing some crazy things with the Advanced Preset menu using the MOD wheel. I found the Noise Oscillator buried in there as well, and I didn't know it had noise. Thats what happens when you RTFM!

Anyway, the LP has probably been a pretty big contributor in me decision to go with the A6. Analog synthesis just seems to produce the sounds I want with a minimum of fuss, and that's very helpful when nailing down ideas.

Honestly, its just dumb luck that I'm in a position to get one, because normally it'd be too rich for my blood.

Check this vid out, some dude with a cool little minimal ambient track. Clearly shows off the sounds of the A6, pads in particular. This type of stuff is exactly why I want to pick one up:

I know, it's so easy to get big sounds from the LP.

I love playing with the filter self-oscillation:

Nice!

Originally posted by Eric J So after much hang-wringing and waffling over the decision on which to get, i have settled on getting an Andromeda A6, even if that means I have to wait a few months to get it. Basically, besides sounding fantastic and the crazy programmability, I just feel like the A6 is a real modern classic that'll hold its value for years to come. I figure that the TI 2 isn't going to be worth much come 5 or 10 years when the TI 5 is out. I paid $1600 for my virus B back when they first came out, and I sold it for $400 last year. The A6 seems like a truly unique piece of equipment capable of producing sounds that I cannot get anywhere else. I see very few people who don't love it, so since I cannot try it out myself, I'm having to rely on others opinions and my own research. I feel like the Virus will always be there, but I may not get another opportunity to pick up a true analog polysynth.

Excellent choice. The virus is only getting cheaper by the year. I've considered getting a C, but it's been losing about $50 /year since the TI was released. By the time you get your Andromeda, hopefully my bank will be complete.

It doesnt have noise oscilliator, but as modulation source, wish it did though.

You can get messy distorted-sounding noise if you turn both oscillators all the way down, turn modulation all the way up, set the destination to "filter" and turn the filter resonance up.

That works pretty well. If only one could use modulation on the filter with that noise. Btw if u set the source to OSC 2 instead of noise you get some crazy sounds when u jiggle the OSC 2 Wave knob.
