Tony, Andromeda?

[James Coplin]

I have a mixed relationship with mine.  On the one hand, from a capability
point, it is a wonderful synth.  However, I always feel let down by the
filters.  Mine sounds like there are pillows or something in front of the
speakers when I use it.  I have all the autotune/auto-compensate etc. off
but it just fatigues my ears like crazy when I use it.  What really sucks
is all they would have had to have done was make the filters decent or
passable and it could have been the greatest analog poly ever.  Instead,
they made some of the worst filters ever in my opinion.  I have older
digital emulated filters that sound better than the A6's.  Also, it is an
instrument you really need to slate a bunch of time to learn.  It is
picky, touchy, and unyielding.  There are great rewards for getting your
head around all the peculiarities but it isn't immediate.  I also found
programming on it to be less than enjoyable because you have just way too
many options.
