[A6] potential a6 owner questions

[Richard]

C'mon M. so you haven't noticed the A6's interface and OS? all those LCD
pages, the way you have to look at a dozen pages to find out what is rooted
to what? The most complex envelope shaping I've ever seen on a synth. Even
the portmanto is capable of huge variation... don't remember any of that on
the old Rolands/Korgs/Moogs, SCs!

The basic signal path is the same of course but in reality its just plain
silly to say all analogue synths are the same when the A6  is far more
complex and capable  than most and has a unique (and not great) digital
interface and OS

its a wonderful synth but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to a beginner
which is why I was trying to get Chris to pause before dropping the cash for
one
