good,ruff D&B when I hear it) the Andromeda will handle bass for D&B 
really, reall well (there is even a preset on the Andromeda called 
Drum&Bass Hoover, Ruuuuuuuuuuuuufagge indeed. In my opinion the 
Andromeda exels at warm pad & string sounds plus klonky atmospheres. 
Since the ADSR envelopes,(along with the LFO's and effects) are 
digital the attacks are fast and biting.  Yes the Andomeda is a 
hybrid synth, BUT the A6 is analogue where it counts the signal 
output (The Oscillators and the Filters) so if ya want a polyphonic 
analogue synth, with Nasty sounding bass and leads, give the Andomeda 
some thoughts.  Tech care from Squareform_909.
