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

[ivan]

Very respectable of course.
In my case, I also own a DSI Poly Evolver KB.
I prefer programming directly on it as it is full of "tasty" knobs, but having its pro librarian/editor is VERY useful.
This happens to me all the time: I load the librarian to audition hundreds of sounds quickly (this could never be as fast directly on the synth).  I like the ability to change names fast, categorize and also, while auditioning I can detect something I don't like and make a super quick tweak to any sound.

What I am saying is: I see this software as a very useful accessory tool, more than as a programming replacing tool.

Obvious correction: "....never use it [Voyager patch editor] for anything other than as a *librarian*..."
