Alesis Andromeda A6

Nice setup Josh!  

My other synths (asided from the Andromeda) are The Waldorf Q, 
Korg Triton & MS2000, Roland V-Synth & Doepfer A-100 Modular.

I used to own a Super JX (keyboard version of the MKS-70).  Its 
pads were super warm and smooth.  Nothing else sounds like 
that.  The Andromeda is NOT as warm, but is FAR FAR more 
flexible than the MKS-70.  I would go so far as to say it's in the top 
5 analog synths of all time...of course, that's all subjective (some 
might argue that the Korg DW-6000 belongs in that elite group).  

The Andromeda SUCKS for emulative sounds; that's what my 
Triton is for.  For everything else, it kicks lower intestine.  It's truly 
a dream machine & worth every penny I paid for it.  The Rolls 
Royce of analogs...pure luxury (albeit made in Taiwan).  

To answer your question, the Andromeda will probably 
disappoint you if you're trying to simulate the sweet spot of the 
MKS-70...which is super sweet.  Andy is DEEP...a modulation 
matrix pops up for each knob you touch, so that the sound can 
be incredibly strange & detailed.  Think Matrix-12.  I don't 
remember the Matrix being that warm, either.

I suggest plugging in a quality set of headphones and spending 
quality TIME with Andy before making the leap.
