A6 trance demo

[F5D]

I just edited a new demo of the sounds which I have programmed with an Alesis A6 synth. If you want to listen to it, here's a -> link <-

This demo includes some of the sounds from the original demo (which you may have heard earlier) but I have also added many new sounds and removed some boring sections of the original.

Very nice

It that using the A6 internal fx as well?

[F5D]

Some sounds have A6's internal FX (usually distortion) but delay, reverb, maybe phaser and eq's are external.

Awesome sounds dude. You have really come a long way with the A6 since your first demos Nice work!

/me puts A6 on shopping list

Sounds freat man! I am mostly producing downtempo and dub. Would you consider the A6 a go-to synth? I am in the market for a VA or analogue to be my go-to for sounds.

[F5D]

Thanks for the feedback guys! Nice to hear that you liked the sounds. I recommend the A6 for any kind of music. Just don't expect anything from the presets. The synth engine is very powerful and the filters sound great so you can do about any kind of sounds with it.

Why oh why did you post this?

YOU ARE NOT HELPING MY PURCHASING DECISIONS SIR!

(Wants an A6 now instead of a TI... Did I say that out loud?)

Really though this thing just sounds great, it doesn't sound tinny or anything at all, just really REALLY nice.

I'm actually reading the whole fucking manual right now to this thing (I'm really masochistic some times I guess) but I'm wondering what kind of stuff on this synth is controllable via MIDI. Mainly just concerned about being able to arm parameters in Sonar and tweak most of the sound parameters that way during recording using freehand drawn envelopes or overdubbed takes. I'm not seeing any specific lists of things like NRPN lists for filter cutoffs etc., etc.

EDIT: Looks like it will send (according to mailing lists) CCs for pretty much everything so I am sure I can record and play that data back just fine.

I'd assume with with the Virus TI and its VST you could arm nearly anything in the sequencer host like in a standard VST and have complete control over having everything recorded and sequenced.

Found this and it looked very interesting (also the "Andromizer" looked pretty slick too!)

I am very VERY close to being swayed into getting this thing instead of the TI now. :P
