ALESIS ANDROMEDA A6 - Ambient Chillout Jam (Step Sequencer)

Alesis Andromeda A6 synth demo featuring an ambient chillout jam using the on-board step sequencer. The Alesis Andromeda is a very powerful analog synthesizer and the 16-step sequencer allows for intricate pattern building and layering, as it can be triggered per key to create different timings and offsets.
In this ambient chillout music piece I showcase the Alesis Andromeda A6's step sequencer and some interesting timbres via the dual filter setup, LFOs and delay effects. The music uses a repeating motif to showcase these aspects. Hope you enjoy the demo and jam.

I remember the day the Andromeda came out. Was in a little instruments shop here, in Spain. I was inmediately hypnotized by the interface but never hear the synth working. And now, you made it! THANK YOU

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

curious, I am Spaniard and the only time I have seen one was in a NYC shop.

[@synth4ever]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! Glad you enjoyed seeing the Andromeda in action.

[@aqrs269]

3:00 top notch!

[@johncase2408]

I wonder if Behringer would ever develop a clone of the A6. It really is a deep synth. Great sound scape!

[@synth4ever]

That would require reverse engineering the code and custom ASIC chips... I'm not an engineer so not sure how difficult that would be.

[@supercompooper]

I love my Andromeda! I put the black sticker face on, swapped for a black and white display, and made an adapter for the 16 direct outputs. Love it!

[@synth4ever]

Awesome!

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

What a sound and what a synth. I forgot it has the ribbon strip as well. Thanks for this!

[@synth4ever]

Thanks Johnny! Love this patch and sequence.

[@stateazure]

Beautiful jam, and synth. Always wanted an A6 or to even play one, never got the chance.

[@synth4ever]

Thank you State Azure, it's an honor to have you drop by. Love your work! Hopefully you'll be able to get your hands on an Andromeda at some point!

[@Kmuggle]

Something tells me the learning curve for that beast is stratospherically steep ... but it sounds stellar!

[@synth4ever]

It is quite complex and deep, but thankfully most basic controls can be accessed from the control panel knobs/buttons.

[@andrewgenner2613]

A beautiful synth, played beautifully. Thanks for creating this post.

[@synth4ever]

Thank you for the kind words and for taking a moment to watch!

[@jammystraub488]

Best demo of this synth I've heard!

[@synth4ever]

Appreciate that very much, thank you!

[@arjanvanelst9861]

Agree! I own a Andromeda as well but does not come near to the skills of the demonstrator!

[@willswitchcraft]

I haven't played or even seen an A6 in a long time.........great to hear one again........

[@synth4ever]

Thanks! They are still out there, mostly on Reverb or eBay these days.

[@willswitchcraft]

I live in a very remote area, yet I'm aware that there's one in a little private studio, 10 minutes away...........................

[@yeahthatkornel]

Beautiful. Just put some 909 under it and you have 90’s trance music.

[@synth4ever]

Good idea. :)

[@nautiliusmolpheus4799]

This is a beautiful machine, dream machine

[@synth4ever]

It is certainly lovely

[@juno6]

Extremely beautiful!

[@synth4ever]

Thank you, I do love this patch!

[@electronictiger]

Lovely little piece for a wonderful synth. Thank you.

[@synth4ever]

Thank you very much!

[@xntricity6446]

Thanks for the demo,i didn't know about this synth until i saw kebu using it.

[@synth4ever]

You're welcome!

[@lesynthlofi]

Beautiful piece for a real beauty of a synth. Bravo!

[@synth4ever]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

[@snuppssynthchannel]

beautiful!

[@synth4ever]

Thanks! :)

[@aquaticborealis4877]

I think IK Multimedia has an emulation for this, which actually sounds pretty good. Not fully featured though.

[@ericsuper1627]

fabulous

[@synth4ever]

Thank you

[@chrisdigiuseppe7717]

ahhhh...beautiful!!!

[@synth4ever]

Thank you Chris!

[@Sydalesis]

Nice synthesizer, great sounds. Thank you for the music

[@synth4ever]

Thank you for the kind words and watching!

[@TheAlbertSztos]

The best synth

[@synth4ever]

Yes, it's fantastic!

[@SynthgodXXX]

Absolutely beautiful, I love the Alesis Andromeda! I miss mine! 😢

[@synth4ever]

Thank you Rik! The Andromeda can take us to other galaxies... hope you get your hands on one again!

[@jedisid]

Always wanted to try this synth!

[@jedisid]

Also excellent jam.

[@synth4ever]

Thanks my friend! Appreciate that. Hope you get to try one someday.

[@MrFabiusynth]

Very evocative

[@synth4ever]

Thank you for the comment!

[@drauglurdarkambient]

Sounds and feels so soothing after another day where my main concern is not going full blown insane hails from drauglur from germany

[@synth4ever]

Glad to help! :)

[@canaldopititu4120]

Wou....

[@synth4ever]

Thank you!

[@crime_wavcorp]

wow

[@nathanbell6962]

I heard that it goes out of tune, amazing sounds! Your blessed and the general public needs to know real music again

[@synth4ever]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, analog synths in general can go out of tune and need calibration on occasion. :)

[@marzzz1]

Got one when it first came out (I was in the first 100), sold it at quite a profit when Alesis discontinued it. Would love for something like this to be made again...

[@synth4ever]

Nice, did you get a red or blue one? I doubt this will ever get remade, but the Moog One is often considered the modern successor (minus 16-part timbrality).

[@marzzz1]

@@synth4ever I got a blue one, inspected by Mike Peake himself. My only regret (similar to why I haven't bought a Moog One) was that I was the one who discovered it didn't respond to polyphonic aftertouch over MIDI, otherwise I would probably still have it, wonky pots and all. Once we learned that it sounded better with OSC levels below 30 in the Mixer, it was sublime. I actually owned a CS-80 at the time, and was able to emulate that midrange fuzziness by adding in Filter 1 Bandpass in the Post Filter Mix.

[@fishfantasyumiumi]

Hi, awesome tune. How are you getting the notes to hold please?

[@synth4ever]

Sustain pedal

[@dankeplace]

I've heard abt these but never seen 1 in action. How great is this sound? I love minimal repetitious motifs that expand into something massive then cave in on itself. You can do some much with so little, it just takes that tweaking to coax the different character. 16 voice analog multi timbral, that's far and beyond what most expensive synths can do today. This things is a beast, thx for sharing.

[@synth4ever]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, the Andromeda is very capable today, even 20+ years after release. You described my intentions with this piece... expand into a cacophony of sound and then cave in to minimalism. Thanks for watching!

[@PlayGameToday]

I have Alesis Andromeda A6 emulator that works the same

[@KiR_3d]

Is it multitimbral? If yes then it would be cool to hear how it give the whole tracks. I've had a wish to buy one used... But had no enough money for that time and also it takes pretty much space which I don't have.

[@synth4ever]

Yes, it's 16-part multi-timbral!

[@mildheadwound]

How is the A6 not the best?

[@synth4ever]

It's definitely very powerful!

[@azlanrazif]

I still have mine boxed--I wonder if it works.

[@synth4ever]

Amazing... you should definitely try it out!

[@DG-ss1gc]

How long did this take you to set up?

[@synth4ever]

I created the sequencer pattern and patch on the A6. Then played it live as demo'd here. Used a sustain pedal to hold the sequence (since there's no latch button for it). Took me 30min-1hr to craft the patch and sequence I was happy with.

[@TheAlbertSztos]

The best synth

[@synth4ever]

Thanks, A6 is great.
