[A6] Andromeda vs. Voyager and........luxury problem ?

[Steven Wartofsky]

I wouldn't say "problems" with the A6, not of a substantial sort (some small things, like doing polyphonous FM, LFOs don't go up to audio rates, really, more feature issues than show-stoppers, all in all); but there are good reasons, other than interface, that people will buy a Voyager along with or even instead of an Andromeda.  It really depends on what you're looking for -- if you're a Moog sound fanatic, there's really only one choice out there -- Moog.  If you're looking for a massive, 16-voice analogue synth with such extensive control capabilities that it's almost like having a modular, the Andromeda is far cheaper than an equivalent Blacet or Wiard setup. <g>

  Hello,

  I want to buy a Andromeda. My impression is that (A6) analog sounds superior compared with analog modeling synth's. Is it true that the Andromeda vs Voyager discussion is a pure luxury problem (you don't compare a ferrari with a fiat uno, or somethig like that) Or are there real (not luxery) problems with te A6. On internet discussion sites there are people that are ranking the A6 with a 10 and there are how rank it a 2. Big difference who is that possible ? Is it the high price that make magazines and users so full of criticism. When i read a a article about a novation or other modeling synth's most of the times the comments are possitive. There are many possitive articles, but there is also much criticism over the A6.
  It is a old discussion, i now. But is it the real analog sound that makes the A6 only comparable with moogs and a view other analog synth's. Finaly it's the sound that you hear.
