Selling my Alesis Andromeda A6 Synth.  This digitally controlled analog synth is definitely a piece of synthesizer history.  Perhaps overly ambitious, Alesis released this monster of a synth in 2000.  The synth's been used and has a bit of ware on it.  A few plastic knobs are missing (the pots still turn fine), and one knob is a bit bent.  Other than that, the synth is working flawlessly, and I imagine the missing knobs can be replaced if you so desire.  
The Alesis Andromeda A6 is a 16-voice, 16-channel  analog synthesizer by  which was released in 2000 and discontinued in 2010. The Andromeda has analog oscillators and filters combined with modern digital control. It can be considered a hybrid of older and newer technologies, but its entire signal path is purely analogue. The  have a very practical  function, a feature missing on other old . The VCOs have  and  modulation and sub-oscillators. These features makes it possible to create a much wider sonic palette than usual on analog polysynths.
