no bad voices

Here's a boneheaded mistake that hopefully other readers won't make with their Andromeda: I bought my Andromeda about a month ago. Shortly after I bought it, I noticed that one of the 16 voices never played and that Auto Tune always skipped that voice. I emailed Alesis' technical support (a futile effort, BTW). Meanwhile, there was much cursing and gnashing of teeth about having to ship my new and much loved Andromeda back to Alesis to get it fixed under warranty. Luckily, right before I called to get an RMA number, I read the tuning trouble shooting part of the manual again. It turns out that the missing voice was merely disabled. Once I found the correct Auto Tune submenu and enabled the voice, it worked fine. I imagine I either accidently disabled it when I first started diving through menus (before reading the manual) or possibly Alesis accidently disabled it before shipping. Doug
