thanks for the kind words mate. i bought the andromeda because i couldnt afford a modular and imo it was the nearest thing you could get to a modular analogue synth in one box, all those mod routings and buttons at hand etc. i realeased some records which i still like today that were made totally o...

what i ask me now is, how to hear correct. I mean we all have our own opinion on sound and own understanding. You guys know what i mean? How do i choose the right music for testing stuff like this. Is there a way to train the ears or the listening? I hope it´s possible to understand what i mean :) ...
