Alesis Andromeda - Don Solaris Soundset Vol1

[@DonSolaris]

Folks, I didn't put any ads to advertise this vid so it should remain low profile for a while. Go and grab Andromeda before it is too late. You can still find them cheap. 32 oscillators for 3 grand, A.D. 2022! And what if I tell you there is Vol2 in the making with even more badass patches. Or as Arnie said: Do it!!!!!

[@1vootman]

3k? No one is selling them fir 3k, now there somewhere between 4-5k

[@1vootman]

Nice sounds by the way!

[@DonSolaris]

@@1vootman Interesting! When I programmed this soundset I've checked several ads, the prices were 3.2k - 3.6k.

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

@@DonSolaris you made the price go up with this sound set lol 😆

[@bororobo7036]

A6 is now insanely expensive. For mint, unpacked time machine condition one I got the offer 5.5k. I think it is fair price given capabilities.

[@loui7196]

This the best A6 audio demo ever!

[@1vootman]

Great stuff, its undeniably a fantastic synth

[@RayyMusik]

During my long hiatus from 1995 to 2015 many good to excellent synths were released. The Andromeda is the one I regret most to have missed. What a beautiful sonic character!

[@serhiymarchenko8361]

This is NOT just another soundset demo - This is piece of art by itself. Great sound design! Sadly, I don’t have Andromeda, but 100% enjoyed listening this. BTW, TX16W definitely has something special in its sound. Thank you, Don, for putting this together.

[@williamtell1477]

Dope. Ridiculously phat indeed. This thing does sound absolutely beautiful.

[@Eyepatchfilms]

Amazing set of patches!!

[@hanamanova5514]

Fantastic stuff from great man.

[@brhodes0]

Beautiful!! Had this playing in the background and Phat Reso was like a lost Miami Vice soundtrack. Lots of other great patches here as well thanks Don.

[@NicolasMelis]

such a legendary synthesizer!❤

[@bororobo7036]

Yes, finally. Thank you Don. This synth is supermonster.

[@LesFarrington]

I’ll be purchasing this soundset once I get more familiar with my andromeda which arrived today. If you’re on the fence about the andromeda, JUMP! I started buying synths in 1985. Too many to count have come and gone. I almost considered buying the andromeda in 1999 but I couldn’t shake that it was ALESIS! A 16 voice poly from ALESIS? I AM SO ANGRY AT MYSELF FOR WAITING SO LONG! NO ANALOG SYNTH IVE EVER OWNED CAN COME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THIS MASTERPIECE SYNTH! I only played it three hours and it was already obvious that the andromeda is in a class all by itself!

[@NedBouhalassaVideos]

Wow, amazing-sounding patches, of course! You are a master, Don - loved your Quantum patches. Off to pick this up asap!

[@music2me23]

Really great sound set for the Andromeda. Really takes advantage of all the Andromeda's strengths. Very inspired and looking forward to Vol2.

[@orsat1]

Don...awesome...thx...

[@rbgsounds1]

One of my biggest regrets is not purchasing an Andromeda 20 years ago for £1200. Thanks for reminding me 😂 Great soundset 🙌🏼

[@analog_]

Wow the Solina!! Buying this set for my Andromeda 🔥

[@hardwaresecuritymodule]

I didn't realise I wanted one of these. Until this soundset!

[@dachiklangmusik]

❤ love this sounds and the playing ☮️🎶☯️🙏

[@AllureMusicLab]

Amazing ! Bought It !

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Don, it’d be amazing if you made a soundset for the Arturia Polybrute. Do you think that could ever happen?

[@DonSolaris]

Didn't gel with its sound. Decided to skip it. Beautiful synth though.

[@Sturzi]

I adore the A6 for its sounds. Despite all its possibilities, programming is very straightforward. The keyboard is one of the best I've played on a synth. But then, all those parameter jumps that drove me crazy. The dustfilled noisy pots. The certanity of not getting spare parts anymore should something break. Those really terrible effects. I think all in all it was a good decision to sell it after many years. If Alesis only had the chance to develope an improved version...

[@vincewizz8534]

As a 13 years user of an Andromeda (since 2006), I really felt the Moog One was the A6 2.0 that I expected. And since I got the One in 2019 I must have used the A6 only 3 times in 2020 and not anymore since… Still like the A6 very much but I find the One to be significantly better tone wise, UI wise and also feature wise, even if the A6 has a few things the One doesn’t (S curves, Sine, more multi-timbrality) . Then of course the One cost me 4 times the 2000€ I paid for my brand new A6 back then … but it is definitely worth it 🙂

[@NachoMartyMeyer]

wow 🤯

[@BullyMaguire4ever]

Andromeda is my favorite polysynth based on sound and features. But I would be scared to own one because it could brick at any time.

[@Vuyccbvuj]

Can you do a serum patch bank?

[@Sonikbytes]

Kebu uses it live on stage.. it has to be good! ;)

[@qtuner1]

do i need to have lesis - Andromeda A6 - OS v1.40.13b to load these preset?

[@DonSolaris]

No. Just Andromeda, LOL!

[@g-muni5855]

😆

[@giorgiobacchin2875]

a soundset for moog one is needed

[@g-muni5855]

❤

[@kierenmoore3236]

Why do people like this synth? I’ve heard they burn out (some chip?) after so many hours, too?! Genuinely curious?!

[@hanamanova5514]

Because it happened to small bunch of owners only. I bought two 20 yrs ago (one for spare parts) and never ever had a problem.

[@1vootman]

What are you smoking dude? I've had one for years not a single problem
