[A6] Anyone tried this with an A6?

[Kurt Stengel]

I'm cool man :)  Didn't mean to come off harsh if I did but it seems so many
people still talk about wish lists and gripe about really minor stuff when
for an analog it does amazing things flexibility wise.  Digitally speaking
it is out-horsed by some soft synths and probably a few VA's I can think of.
But in the analog domain nothing beats it for bells and whistles.

>> Agreed with Kurt - the A6 is PROBABLY the best all-around analog synth.
