[A6] Andromeda, last of its kind?

[Marcus Couto]

It seems to me that the major synth companies are not planning to release 
analog subtractive synthesizers anymore and the A6 is the last of its kind. 
I don't know about you guys but I think that currently subtractive synthesis 
is suffering with the current VA instruments out there. Technology is just 
not quite there yet in my opinion. Emulation will surely be a lot closer as 
time goes by but we'll have a time gap for a while. I really think IMHO that 
we had better sounding instruments in the past than now. I also thought that 
the A6 would sparkle interest again and a whole new bread of analogue 
synthesizer would come out from the big players out there. I know the price 
of real analogues would drop a lot if they were released by them. I wonder 
what drove the market to the current direction. People now seem to care more 
about features than the actual sound. Anyway, just my two cents...
