I own a andromeda and i love it to bits. I'm thinking about buying a prophet 08 though for its punchy plucky sound. The andromeda is more sweepy. Both are great analog synths. Stay analog :)
You can't judge this clip at all since the synths plays differents sequences and sounds, do the same thing the Andy plays exactly done as good as you can with the prophet 08 and then we can actually make something out of this. Everyone scream andy andy, but remember you get 3 prophet 08 desktops for the same price as 1 andy and the andy have pretty slow envelopes compared to the prophet so making thumpy basses or punchy kicks are harder with the andy, it is really good for pads though.
@M3sslah Didn't payt691 state this is not a qualitative comparison but merely a subjective exhibition of two companies' approach to similar technology? Just go with the flow, man. No one loses or wins. It's just for s**ts and giggles.
I would take both , each synth sound / specialty has it's own part in the track but if I had no choice I would take tha alesis andromeda a6 tough the prophet 08 sounds thicker ( the andromedas' manufacturer made the oscillators smaller or something and add more polyphony , which wasn't really necessary to do it , I guess they were just cheap)
Andromeda is definitely more organic than the P08. I own a P08 too and seriously considered getting an andromeda, until I read all of the horror stories with hardware issues. It's a damn shame that Alesis was bought out and that the andromeda was cast aside.
I gotta say the Andromeda wins! It reminds me so much of the tone of Pink Floyd in some of its leads especially the lead tone from shine on you crazy diamond.
Both have their own strengths... the P08 is a bit more crude, in a sense, but still a very nice machine. The andy has a more silky sound, and it's more easy to make it 'sing'. Of course youtube compression isn't going to make things better, but since both tracks are suffering from it, it's still a nice relative comparison.
Also I don't like to judge synths over highly compressed You Tube but to my ear the Andy literally crucifies the Pro 08?
Im not going of sound quality as said you tube compression , more expression and feeling that the synth has got. The Pro sounds like a bontempi next to it TBH

Going on what i hear in this video alone i would take the A6 over the P08 all day. Both nice though and good demonstration.

Andromeda sounds great
I wish DSI would just produce a straight analog synth.
