alright i think i have read almost everything ever written on this synth, but i still have time to ponder more people's opinions. Those of you who live sleep and breath analog lemme know: i want a synth that can be aggressive, soulful, phat, warm, nauseously dissonant, crazy, and graceful at the same time. i have heard that the andromeda is all these things and more. but i have also heard the quips that it has loose knobs, that the early O.S has bugs, that the presets are abyssmal, that the fx are worthless...but i still need to make a decision. i am looking t buy an incredible synth, and need a good controller too. if i were to get one for 2200 bucks, should i do it? give me better alternatives if you dont think i should do it. i have already been told that i should just get a nord modular and a sherman filterbank, or a virus and maybe a sid station...i have alot of options. tell me what you think.

The virus is on my list. It has a edgy and smooth sound I like and the midi implimentation and versatility that is unrivaled buy anything I have used. The Andromeda sounds like old analog. If I want analog i go with the old school. Why not it's cheaper, and sounds better. For the money I could buy a virus B and and an Xpander. No brainer!!!!!

I've recorded a bass sequence on 2 analogues and 3 VAs. Try to find out who is who ;-)

The little riddle is on www.trippler.net/music --> Stuff

the only one I got right was the ppg. I think the virus and the Q had the lushest sound, the prodigy sounded off, tune wise, and the pulse is norrower but much more solid sounding. Perfect example of the variations of color associated with synths playing the same waveforms.

Hello Brett,

I think that it is possible to program patches that sound more identic on the different units. But I must admit that I didn't put too much effort in it, I just twiddled a little until I liked the sounds.

I think the examples are good to show that evry osc and filter sounds different but good though ;-)

i suck. didnt get a single one right. i didnt read the tips though  

i got fooled by the pulse, thinking it was a uQ. there´s deffinitely a similarity to their sound. hard.

tnx Stefan for providing the test, it really shows how we can be fooled by technology
