Re: Andromeda vs. Vermona Perfourmer

2004-06-09 by dwaldman6

My opinion is that people sell the Andromeda not because of any 
quality control or sound issues, but rather because of the 
spectacularly deep mod matrix, which can frustrate the impatient 
among us if not savoured fully.  I happen to love it.  Really 
digging in can make the Andromeda sound modular with very 
little effort.  So, the "interstellar" quality you seek should come 
quite easily.  Dr. Who noises with 1/6 the 
oscillators....electroacoustic aleatoric heaven.  Right guys?
