For some productions it might work, but some VA are so good (Like Virus) that there is no sense to have problematic analogue synth like this one.

There are useable sounds, but most of them are better on real synths. Not 100% analogue feel, still better than VA. Sound is somewhere inbetween from virtual synths and analogue synths. So there is more to the Andromeda than the 72 knobs and 144 buttons point out! This synth is analogue heaven. I must point out, every time you turn a knob a menu pops up on the display screen. But the huge number of knobs makes up for its complexity and means you can create complex sounds with ease. I have been playing synths for 10 years and the Andromeda makes me feel a bit amature. However, this synth is very complex and is not as obvious as some other analogue polysynths. The Andromeda has loads of knobs so its a joy to program. Be careful, though! You have to get just the right card or it won't work, and details are not forthcoming on the Alesis site or in the manual. Expansion via ancient and expensive PCMCIA cards. Built-in effects are fine-you might want to use better effects if you're a professional in a recording studio, home-studio and gigging musicians can get a lot of the built-in effects.

When I push the mod wheel forward any less than about 75%, it falls back to starting position as soon as I let go. My synth is on the second tier of a stand, angled toward me so that I can get to the controls easily from a sitting position. There is a SERIOUS problem, though.at least on the one I bought new in November 2008: the mod wheel doesn't stay where I put it when the synth is on an angled stand. More destinations for the sequencer would be great, too.

(Access calls it 'sample-and-glide.') You might be able to replicate that using an LFO to modulate another LFO, or using a tracking generator on the S&H. There are a couple of features that I miss, though: no random arpeggiation, and no 'smoothed-random' LFO. Just about anything can modulate just about anything else. TONS of features! In terms of actual synthesis, the number of sound-mangling features is enormous and very satisfying.
