Re: the Andromeda A6 in drum&bass (how well does it handle bass sounds?)

2006-06-19 by Cold Jazz

Thanks everyone for their answers!

Ill probably have to spend some more time with the A6 in the music
store. But I think I would rather go for the A6 than the Moog Voyager.

I'm not going to buy that many more synths (I think). Before I had
over 12 synths in the studio, which killed my creativity. I rather
have a few very good synths I know really well. But I wouldn't mind a
real analogue synth before I stop investing in synths...

Thanks again
