[A6] Gathering at least 100 Andromeda users...

[Joan Touzet]

Good luck with the project, gs! Sounds like you have a good head on
your shoulders.

I'm out - I'm happy editing patches on the device itself, and using a
librarian. If I wanted to spend my time editing patches on a computer
screen, I'd just buy a virtual analogue; I wouldn't own one of the
best analogue synthesizers out there, hands down. I spent the dough on
the Voyager patch editor and never use it for anything other than as
an editor, so I don't feel like making the same mistake for *my*
workflow twice.

Again, not naysaying, just saying this isn't for me. Now a decent A6
module for Unisyn or Midi Quest XL that'd integrate with my DAW
properly... ;)

Cheers,
Joan
