Q = digital wavetable type thing? or..something like that
andromeda = real analog
even the price difference is pretty drastic

Good things: This synth is fvcking RAW. Ignore the presets....you gotta dig deep into this synth and really milk it. the 7 stage envelopes ( digital) are really sweet, and the layout of the knobs and OS / UI in general are really intuitive once you understand the programming 'style'. I LOVE the filters on this thing. 1 4-pole and 1 2-pole...both the IC chips ( actually there are 32, 2 for each voice), are liscenced from Moog and Oberheim. But you prolly already knew that if you have been researching it. Ribbon controller is great, and with the all the possibilities on the MOD matrix, you can programm it to control OSC freq, filter freqency, and say Frequency Modulation all at once, the results of which you can imagine.
Anyway i could ramble about this thing all day...but before you buy, go to sonic state ( i know there is a particular disdain for Sonic state here, but thier reviews are legit and varied in opinion).
Yeah, i would say pick up the andromeda if you discover you like its sound, but i recomend finding a used one, which you can get for around 2200 US $ if you look around.
Have fun
$0£!D
