Something Completely Different

338 Red Christmas

December 2008. I’ve just purchased a second hand Alesis Andromeda A6. It’s the third one that enters my studio. It’s such a nice synthesizer.

As a 16 voices analog synthesizers it’s one of a kind. Programmability is huge and the sound is very easy to mix into mixes.

While I was trying out to find good settings for it’s (digital) reverb, I had to create a short attack and decayed sound to test the reverb I was working on.

Somehow I got caught by the test sound though, and forgot about the reverb :-) I ended up leading the sound through an analog delay (Pigtronix Echolution)

and captured some simple sequences on the Akai MPC5000 woth this sound. One leading to the other I finally came up with this song which has a nice

laidback groove as far as I am concerned. The bass sound comes from the Cwejman S1 MK2 modular, drums from the MPC, there are some nice Mellotron

samples in it at the end (Boys Choir and Flute). The Waldorf Blofeld is doing all the pads, in the middle part you can hear that typical PPG sound for a brief

moment, and the twickling sound after the “break” comes from the Memorymoog.
