Alesis Andromeda A6

Basically if you can not tell the diffrence between DSP and analog then go
ahead an get those units....
Personally, I would not change my A6 for ANY synth today in the market....

Hi all,

Ok, I've heard a lot about the A6 and have played with it in my local 
muziq shop.  But, from this, I can't tell if it's really (and I mean 
really really) worth $3K (US)!  Now, for around $3K, I can get a 
Virus b AND a Waldorf Q!  (For $5K I can throw in a Supernova II.)  
Can one A6 compete with both of these running simultaneously?  Is 
this a fair way to look at it?

That's just it.  Without having all of them to a/b how do I know? 
Ages ago I had a couple of analogs, but I certainly don't remember 
how phatt their sounds was.  The Vb, Q, and SnII seem to have a lot 
more features than the A6, not to mention more poly.  They all sound 
really great at the store too!  Now, using one synth for what I do 
would be a real pain.  So, would you say that the A6 shouldn't be 
your only synth?  If not, what's a good partner for it?

For a complementary sound, you might try something that can sound very
digital, like Kawai K5000, Yamaha FS1R, Waldorf MIcrowave XT.
