Seems like the A6 requires more chiseling and digging through that matrix, really architecting your sound...i respect that...i actually like that, i still may get one if the right deal passes my way before a Voyager does...

The Voyager's very groovy and satisfying. Check out the Macbeth M3X if
you get a chance. Handmade, built like a tank, Minimoog layout, *very*
Mini-like sound, very punchy, killer bass and leads, nice modulation
matrix, MIDI, routeable CV ins and outs, much less expensive, no
keyboard or beautiful wood.
(All right, I've got some demos of that on my site too ...)
The A6 doesn't sub for a Mini, but it'll do a pretty convincing
imitation in some patches. As to the comment that the A6's basic sound
isn't so hot, from some angles it's almost true. There are some synths
you can sit down with and get amazing sounds immediately. The A6's
personality is more to resist you initially. You'll mess around with it
and think, "This thing sounds weak. It's a turd." I wish it were as
immediately rewarding. Generally it isn't. But even flipping through
factory presets should be enough to show what an giant range of great
sounds it's capable of, as fat as you could wish. But I think it was
partly my craving for a simple instant-gratification synth that made me
get an M3X to sit next to it.
