No hope, no fear ;)
But you are right.. It might be useless..
But just to tell it to those,who are new:
You can use the ENVs looped (Attack and Decay) and use them to set the speed
;)

But you're right.. Since therei is no chance on os things..
#
But back to topic:
The problem behind all this was the dream of versions of the A6 and what can
be done..

I'll keep quit on especially the above points.. And I agree with you here..

Just for info: the xpander was NOT the one with fast envs ;)

Redundant stuff will come up on a one-synth forum from time to time..
The problem is now: is it really cool just to talk how preset x sounds or
how to program yy?..
(not that I am against this..)

So ,I hope everything is accepted to post here still.. Well, I will not
really raise the lfo thing here again.. It's really overkilling ;)

Did I understand your last section right?
About the more "visionary" synth? Well.. You know how much a dx1 cost those
days? ;)
The andro is (imo) really a GOOD price, or better said: a bargain!!!

So why not telling about it even those more expensive things just for "they
did not sell well?"..
Isn't it all the MUSIC why we are doing this? So why not?..

Hope you don't get me wrong.. I understand the "Stop the repeating LFO
bullshit,it will never happen - eat it and shut up" ;))
You're right..

I hope we can "dream" together along with some more talk..
Imo it's worth thinking..

Ok, that¹s all - and as long no1 asks about it I'll not come back with "cold
fish" topics ;)

Ok, I go now to hear some weird music..
In background again..

Enjoy your andro! I'll do still.. To be exact: it is the main instrument
here.. Most recommendable to everyone who wants a GREAT SYNTH!!..
Right?.. Yes! ;)
