Thanks matrix, i needed that

the more u listen to the demo, the more u can tell that moogs have that nice
low end growl. But all and all, i think it kinda sux, that a mono synth is
being compared to a 16 voice analog MONSTER synth... and i dont care if its
a moog or anything else, 1 to 16 is a significant number.... goes to show
how powerful it is....

But then at the same time, it sux that someone would pay such a high price
for one voice, when you can get 16 voices that is much more versatile....
:-)

If only they made the andy in rack form.... ahhh.... for now, ill stick with
my omega 8 synthesizer...
