[A6] Andromeda vs. Voyager

[vivalamarcha at web.de]

hi mark, 

i fully agree that the A6 is an absolute monster for rich poly sounds and is like a modular to some extent. in the string dpt., the xpander/matrix12 are better still imho (larger and softer and more grain). a memorymoog can do other things. so i don't think that voyager+A6 are the end to it all. you can own more analogs without real redundancies (fortunately, ouf!). but the two can do an awful lot together!
