Official Alesis Andromeda A6 Introduction Video (Synth Demo Promotional Reel) - VHS Source Copy

I came across this old VHS that had an "introduction video" for the Alesis Andromeda synthesizer. The quality is OK, but there may be better sources out there as my copy was re-used. Under the labels for the promotional video, you can see that the tape was originally an Alesis Masterlink demo video. They just copied over it and added new labels.
The full video had this segment repeated over and over again for about an hour. I guess this was to play on screens at trade shows or music stores to drum up interest.
The demo sounds don't really hold up to today's standards or to what the A6 can actually do, but Alesis seemed to want to cater to the more upscale client that could actually afford the $3K price tag when it was released. (Think studio or session players.). So the sounds shown seem to cater to them. You do seem to hear a few snippets of actual crazy Andromeda sounds here and there though. What you see and hear here is peak late '90's/early 00's through and through.

Thanks for taking the time to convert and preserve history!

I remember seeing this in the studio where I was working, back in 1999.. Alesis sent us the promo and we were taken by storm.. I am still taken by storm right now, because there hasn't been any synth like that for the last 25 years (and probably will never be). By the way, this is a very nice VHS transfer too!

Well, there's also the Moog One. It's not identical in set-up or features, but it's arguably even more powerful.

What a synth that was

Vince DiCola is the guy who did all the montage music from Rocky IV.

Transformers: The Movie too! (The only real Transformers movie.) Great soundtrack.

99% of this spaceships are broke in analog/digital malfunctions

[@hanamanova5514]

Not at all. Maybe 5-10% of bad batch.

[@Tripwelleverday]

Bet there isn’t even one working unit left

[@MrMissingReel]

Nick Rhodes has one....

[@Mefistophelees]

Some had probelms but they're fixable. I have 2.

[@oldmanzero]

I have a fully working unit still. Just have to take care of them.

[@tbonesixtynine]

@@oldmanzero I have 2 of them in pristine working order

[@NedBouhalassaVideos]

Mine works fine
