Alesis Andromeda A6

Hi Joshua

That is a good question. In fact I know and agree 100% with you regarding
the Q...thats my gripe with it. BUt it compensates on the percussion and
electro sound front...

Regarding the A6, it can get almost as smooth as you want, and as
agreesive /harsh as you want also. But once again be careful not aspecting
instant gratification...

Lets put it simply...if you get the A6 and spend your time using/listening
the presets..you will (very soon) feel you made a very wrong decision
buying it...believe me I almost thought like this if it wasn't for some
(very few) gems/beautiful sounds in the presets (IMO).

I tell you that because I see that in that tone regard I think we are in
the same wavelenght.

Preferably you should spend quality time with one A6 before jumping in
because of that fact. It can usualy get "to americano..." and not Roland
Smooth...but if you understand it, then you get to its smooth inners and
some beautiful sonorities coming from the sem filter when with some amount
of resonance, that get a sonoritie...somehow softh and "rustie"/oldie that
is simply beautiful IMO.

I do not have a NL3 but by the demos I listened and a 1 hour experience
with it on an show made feel it is somehow a bit harsh also. Do you think
it is?

Best,
Paulo
