The Alesis Andromeda A6 is a 16-voice, 16-channel multitimbral analog synthesizer by Alesis and was released in 2000, before the company went bankrupt and was acquired by Numark Industries. It has analog oscillators combined with modern and comprehensive digital control. It can be considered a hybrid of newer and older technology. While it does employ digitally controlled LFO's and envelopes, the entire signal path from oscillator to output is purely analog. This has lead to a somewhat common misunderstanding that the A6 is not a completely "analog" synthesizer.
