>>>Subtractive Synths are "all the same". So what should be the hard to 
program
thing on the a6?

 I do disagree - as we know from the filter discussion we had here this week. 
And maybe you use it like an ordinary ProphetV or Roland setup, but with all 
the possible modulation routes, it can be VERY hard to sort out what some of 
the presets are doing. Looping envelopes, exponential, slopes, tracking 
generator, multiple modulation routes - these are NOT common subtractove 
synthesis things. VERY powerful additions, like a modular, and a modular 
(while easy and creative to some) is also not a good simple starter synth.

I consider myself VERY experienced in analog synthesis (since 1974 to be 
exact), and there are days when I sit at the Andromeda and say "WHY is it 
doing that?". It is deep - I think no one will argue that.
