In summary, I have a lot of poly analog synths.  The A6
doesn't stack up to them as far as raw sound goes.  Pure and
simple.  I don't gig, so there's no worry about taking old
gear out on the road, some of the older gear has a decent
MIDI implementation.  Some of the missing features,  bugs, etc
that should have been taken care of aren't and won't be and
that ticks me off.  Given all that, the A6 sound (in general,
I repeat - in general) is redundant and I don't find myself
reaching for it when I want an analog polysynth.  

The relative complexity of the synth ends up causing a negative
feedback loop - if you don't play with it regularly, you
forget a lot of it and that makes you less likely to power
it back up again, which causes you to forget more of the 
advanced features, etc.

However, that changed when I started really getting into
this hardware MIDI sequencer.  I suddenly found myself
needing a decent sounding analog synth with a very
robust MIDI spec and routing scheme.  Looking around the
marketplace, there's not many machines that fit that bill.

With the exception of the Linntronics MemoryMoog, Matrix 12,
and Chroma (with the 'good' MIDI kit) and some slightly less 
analog machines like the Prophet VS and some of the Roland rack
synths, not much of the vintage gear supports the extensive 
CC use and flexible mapping that takes full advantage of what 
the Notron generates.
