My Alesis - newbie questions!

My Alesis - newbie questions!

2004-06-04 by Dr. Sniffles

Hi Everyone,

I have had my Alesis Andromeda for about two months now (second hand)
and love it but even after reading the manual and alot of
experimenting i am only using about 50% of what it can actually do!!
Does anyone know of any tutorials, ideas etc etc to help? Also I put
the latest OS on it and it now seems to randomly change the filter
values without me toughing it? rather anoying at times? 

One more newbie question, when adding new banks is there a sysex
utility especially for the A6 as i can't get new sound banks loaded on
either.

Thanks for any help you can give me
Marcus :)

Marcus,

Well, I've been playing with my Andy for 6 months, and I just found 
out the aftertouch is broken!  

As far as sysex loading there is always Alesis Freeloader.  You can 
download that from Alesis's website:

http://www.alesis.com/downloads/software/freeloader/

You can also check a nice Andromeda tutorial here:

http://www.synthesizers.de/moogulatorium/alesis_andromeda.html#Anchor
-How-49575

Be sure to seach for "FAQ and tricks" on that page to get linked to 
this Tips and Tricks page:

http://home.planet.nl/%7erobnet/a6/A6TipsAndTricks.html

This should be enough to get you started.

Later,
Chris
