Some very basic sounds have been posted at www.pacificnet.net/~peake for your listening pleasure. Not intended to show everything it can do  

Look to www.alesis.com in a few days for an interactive flash demo of Andromeda...

We're using the Coldfire 5307. It outputs control signals to each analog parameter, as you would expect. I'd like to share more, but I'm not allowed

Twisted little multitimbral demo:

http://www.code404.com/a6/alesis_andromeda.mp3

or

http://www.code404.com/a6/ -- then right-click and save as.

Uses one Andromeda, stereo out, recorded to hard disk. No multitracking. No external or internal effects were used. It's just a little something Justin Maxwell and I cooked up in a couple of hours. (Not intended to demonstrate the full potential of Andromeda. And what sounds like clipping isn't ; it's a nasty sound, not an overload.)

Went to www.code404.com and listened to the demo. Interesting to here a dry demo for a change. Anyone can spice up a mix with effects and layering to make a synth sound better , but I like to here the raw stuff a synth can produce. Very rhetro sounding-"A+". I was impressed, but would like to here a demo that has it all by incorporating more sweeps and sub bass and acid lines with slides.The electro sounds in the demo were great, but I can do every sound in that demo with a super bass station or my sh-101. Also some poly chords to see if it sounds as good as a juno etc. I've heard nothing yet that justifies that price tag for someone with analog gear. What I 'm trying to say is, I would sell all this vintage stuff if this synth can fill the void. In reading I see nothing about the tranmision of controler or sysex data via those 72 knobs? What is the story on midi implimentation. Are the effects going to be controllable via sysex, etc?

Glad you liked the demo.

Know that the demo was not multitracked, it was one Andromeda's stereo outputs recorded to disk, sequenced from an MPC3000 in one pass. It was also nowhere close to using up all 16 voices of polyphony. Being able to do those sounds simultaneously, and to also be able to edit them in realtime, is one of the strengths of the machine.

Also, IIRC, all of the sounds in the demo used two oscillators and some like the bass sound used the two suboscillators as well; the bass's audio went through Filter 1 in notch mode, which was swept by LFO 1; this audio was routed into Filter 2 (moog lowpass) which was swept by LFO 2; LFO 3 modulates LFO 2's rate for the speeding up and slowing down. I don't believe that the SH101 and Super BassStation combined can produce this single sound  

Yes, all of the knobs send and receive CCs. The MIDI implimentation will be absolutely up to date. The digital effects have two modulation routings which allow MIDI Continuous Control.

Pim has posted two .mp3's of Andromeda bits he recorded
via Minidisk at the Messe:
http://www.dancewave.nl/Nieuws/messe/messe.html
See: File 1 and File 2.

Photo 2 is of David Bryce, Keyboard Marketing Manager.

Look to www.reinklang.de for Arnd Kaiser's multitimbral Messe demos
in a week or so.

The machine is a beast, I must admit, I was planning on buying a jupite-6 or an mks-80. They have a distinct sound used by Uberzone on moondust and Trip Theory on many of their tracks. Have you tried to set up any jupiter patches on the a-6.The sound I'm refering to can be heard on CDNow.com realplayer demo of Uberzone's "space kadet ep" on the track moondust. The quirky acsending cat meow sound. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. If it can do this and all that I've heard I'm selling my sh-101, juno 106,and my 2 bass stations. Thanks, I appreciate the time you've taken to inform us on this ground breaking synth. on top of my prev query,When do you think we will get to demo the monster a Guitar Center or other Dealer?

I have Space Kadet and know that sound. The MKS80 is one of my favorite synths and has great filters, but I'll bet that Andromeda can recreate that sound, even some of the phase shifter effect.

Andromeda won't be in stores for several months yet.

Thanks, Mike
