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

[cgraef at nyc.rr.com]

Agreed.
 
Except that the sound of a modular's usually even bigger than the
Voyager's, but with extensive control capabilities.  And the A6 covers
only a small portion of a modular's ground.

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.
 
Jasper
