How much would you pay for an Alesis Andromeda "Reissue"?

As the subject says.

Would you be willing to pay a bit more from a small boutique outfit?

What kind of things would you want changed or added? I personally would love to see MPE implemented for it.

Do you think Alesis would sell the "rights" to someone else so they could have the original design schematics?
:borg:

Regarding MPE: The original Andromeda is already good for some multi-dimensional things. I tested and played one on the Seaboard Grand. Thanks to its multitimbral design it responds to poly pressure and pitch. I don’t know about Slide though (CC74) as at the time (early 2013) there was only the Grand, which does not support Slide.

The original has a dual ribbon controller, so there is already some expression built into it.

I have an Andromeda, so I wouldn’t be inclined to pay huge sums for an emulation. A really great emulation, maybe $149 maximum.
Incomplete list of my gear: 1/8" audio input jack.

I'd pay 99 € for a soft synth emulation. :)

And, no, i don't think either a reissue, or a emulation is very likely.

As far as I remember, UVI sampled som Andromeda stuff for their "Synth Anthology". I have the latter, need to check whether I'm right though.

For this, you get the Alesis Andromeda fridge magnet.

Does it have 0dff, MPE, granular, multilayer round robin, and DFD streaming?

No. But it does have the totally unique ‘Advanced Rhomboid Suction Elastomer’.
The magnetic force emitted by ARSE is yet to be fully understood by the scientific community.

Maybe Behringer will make a clone and sell it for $1500

as this is in the hardware firum, i assume you mean a hardware reisse...

if they could make it stay in tune and reduce the noise floor, might be worth doing, but i think it would be pretty expensive

I conducted a little experiment recently. I listened to some old '70s prog rock music that I like and imagined that it has been made using VST Instruments. My immediate reaction was ... I'm not sure I like this music ... and ... the instruments sound like Arturia recreations. I concluded that Software is not so different sounding to hardware. Hardware is not the answer imho.
