[A6] Andromizer for Windows

[unknown freak]

I'll clarify this a little:  the Virus has way, way more capabilities
and a way more range than the A6.  I can't really blame anyone for
saying if they could have only one they'd take the Virus.

It's just that in spite of it's actually pretty incredible range, I'm
not sold on the overall sound of the Virus, and the inherent drama of
each of those sounds loses a lot for me in simply not having a certain
difficult-to-define analog weight.  They're a bit under glass, they
don't quite occupy my space.  But that may matter more in the playing
experience than in a mix.
