Actually I'd like to address this too

if dance music is your interest, you won't be disappointed.  the a6 is a
very versatile synth capable of a wide range of timbres.

however, it is not an all-in-one box.  unless you're planning on writing
some Tresor-style all-analog tracks, you'll need a sampler too.  Or,
better yet, a good virtual sampler like EXS24 or Kontakt.

saying that it's no good for dance or techno is just misleading.  it's a
good synth, it has an annoying OS, and it's capable of a wide range of
sounds.  there's no need to imply that a difficult learning curve, a
characteristic sound and complex features somehow makes it more
appropriate for one genre over another.

sorry i didn't pipe up about this when the question was originally posted,
but i don't have much time to email these days.
