Tony, Andromeda?

[Christian Borg]

Unfortunately I agree with the filter thingy there. Those filters are very characteristic 
and lack that kind of Moog softness that you sometimes want. I actually think the Korg 
software does that better (well the monopoly and ms-20 filter that is; love my Korg legacy 
still).

But I wouldn't want to part from it. It's tricky to edit, sure, but also a lot of fun 
jamming with. It can punch some really awesome basslines, arp patterns and crazy effects.
And I like routing stuff to the ribbon (as with the JP8000) because that's delightful to 
pick and scratch when jamming as well.
