Fwd: [A6] bass ...

[Boele Gerkes]

I even feel that temperature tuning is too much in the wrong direction 
:-))

Since I own two A6's now, I can compare, and I really really like the 
A6 with *no* background and temperature tuning way above one with the 
temperature tuning on.

But it is necessairy that it's on for some time, have a forced tuning 
then (and again once in a while).

Oh, here is my last song using two Andromeda's, the Evolver and the 
Alesis DMpro :-))
