Alesis Andromeda 2011 Demo

Demo of Alesis Andromeda analog synthesizer. Its power is simply impressive...Andromeda can sound like many of the famous vintage synthesizers and also different from all others. In these 10 minutes I could only cover a very very small fraction of its capabilities. Sound quality might not be very good due to the relatively poor recording equipment. Photos of my own A6 with modified side pannels.Enjoy !

@theHackerOfMayhem thanks for watching! ...and you're right, it is a great synthesizer...

[dondorward2010]

im thinking of selling mine---i just dont know how to get these huge sounds out of it, or i would most certainly keep it--id rather not sell as its in perfect condition and i dream of getting jupiter-obx-moog prophet and cs80 monster sounds out of it

[JupiterSynth]

@dondorward2010 be patient! do not make the big mistake of selling it! I was in the same situation: I was about to sell it several times but I was wise enough not to do it; today - for example - I easily managed to duplicate the main "percussive" CS80 sound from Vangelis' "I hear you now" and a few other Jupiter 8 patches; A6 has it's own distinctive sound but it's also capable of emulating famous vintage mono/poly synths...

@JupiterSynth i'll keep trying--how bout some tips?

[JupiterSynth]

@dondorward2010 it's hard to tell you what to do in a few words but first of all switch off the effects (use an external effects unit if you have one) and then start tweaking the knobs; if you hadn't read the manual yet you could start doing it...have fun!

The best analog synth ever created.

[fender1000100]

It can also bite like no other synth. In other words it can do it ALL. What you do is learn where its true power is. Ive owned no other synth for 20 years. I have completely mastered FM synthesis. Even Brian Eno hasnt taken a DX7 as far as I have. Thats why I sing its praises so ardently. I know what its truely capable of. An though the course of the year others will come to realize its true power. And when you consider that a DX7S can be had for under 200 on Ebay. It has no equal.

[fender1000100]

This is where I completely diagree with analog purists attitude. If you turn the A6 and DX7S on and play them straight. Im 100% certain everyone will say straight up the A6 is far the better synth. The MK2 DX7 doesnt show its diamonds you have to dig for them. The average to awful presets it cam loaded with dont give a hint of its TRUE POWER and sonic capabilities. And this idea about analog being fatter and softer is a myth. The DX7S can sound as fat warm and lush as the A6 or any analogue ever

@Mindstormsabrewin I have a demo already on my channel and a better one coming this weekend where you will hear the DX7S version of an 808 drum machine. And some other sounds im very proud of. I need a COMPLETE SYNTH because im a purist I use no SAMPLERS, SOFTWARE or DRUM MACHINES. MK2 DX7 is the most complete synth ive ever seen. It can do an entire drum kit then a fat bass, organic pads. Hit type sounds seq lines. guitar. Ive never heard anyother synth that can match its completeness.

@fender1000100 Are you able to do such a demo? I'd like to hear a side by side comparison. I think both are magnificent machines for different reasons.

[mindstormsabrewin]

I think of the "analog vs. digital" debate like this: A fluorescent light is really flashing at 60 hz., the AC cycle. It is too fast to see but it's there, Eye strain and headaches ensue. An incandescent bulb has the same 60 Hz going through it but the filament is glowing too hot to respond in flashes so it's a steady light. The color and tone of an old bulb is softer and easier on the eyes. It glows. Fluorescent is harsh, sterile, white pulses. Analog is "kinder" on the ears and eyes.

[Axibis]

Incredible.

[PukkatronicAllstars]

awesome

[JeezoozeChrysler]

wow it sounds HUGE !!!

[isham16]

are these sound presets ? it sounds too good to be the case (never judge a synth by its presets of course...)

[Aardcore]

Good God all mighty, I don't know how I could have missed this majestic Alesis... I definitely gotta keep an eye out for this to show up randomly at my local Guitar Center (assuming anyone will be so eager to part with theirs). So jealous that you've got one of these-- I love my QS7.1 but I definitely gotta gets me one of these!
