The Alesis Andromeda A6 is a 16-voice, 16-channel multitimbral analog synthesizer by Alesis, which was released in 2000 and remains in production. The Andromeda has analog oscillators combined with modern and comprehensive digital control. It can be considered a hybrid of newer and older technologies, but while it does employ digitally controlled LFO's and envelopes, the entire signal path from oscillator to output is purely analog.
