[A6] Andromizer for Windows

[Jonathan Baker]

No rant neccessary!

My favorite 3 sounds in my studio are the Andro, Virus
b, and FM7. It doesn't get any better. And honestly,
while I *love* my andro, if I had to choose just *one*
synth?... the Virus is the easy winner for me. The
Andro is ubercool and a lot of fun, but the sounds
that come from the virus pull the bones right out of
my body and make them dance around the room. Of
course, maybe it's just the skill the Virus patch
programmers. ;-) Just a personal choice.
