The Alesis Andromeda A6 is a 16-voice, 16-channel multitimbral analog synthesizer by Alesis, which was released in 2000 and discontinued in 2010.[2] It combines a pure analog audio signal path with digital control technologies. The VCOs have a pitch correction function, a feature missing on older synthesizers.
The modell number A6 is hinting at ASIC – Alesis developed an application-specific integrated circuit for the synth.[3]
The product was designed by Axel Hartmann.[3]
In the USA, Alesis, ... announced the Andromeda, again a 'genuine analog' synth. ... Andromeda looked like being one of the most powerful analog synthes available, at US $3000 quite an expensive proposition, but was taken up by Klaus Schulze and others, and at the time of writing is still reasonably easy to find, if not actually in active production.
