Alesis Andromeda A6

Axel Hartmann is one industrial designer, so its true about the 
"External Shell" of the synths...in that regard I think he is more 
successful with the Waldorf designs...I never liked the A6 
looks...thats why I got one alternative front pannel and got into the 
trouble of changing that...

In sound I think there is not a lot of common ground (except that 
they are all "not the MW" subtractive synths with a lot of modulation 
power) and for pads (warm smooth ones) I do think there is no 
comparison between the Q and A6...the A6 its a master piece...
