Description:
The Andromeda A6, recreated as a plug-in.
The architecture and sound of the original instrument, brought to life in software.
Inside ASYX: A meticulously designed signal path with controls tailored for exploration. Start simple, then dive deeper into the details as your sound demands.
01 / Oscillators
ASYX models the behavior of the A6’s specialized ASIC-based oscillators, which draw their analog design inspiration from the Moog 921B. Each voice features two oscillators capable of simultaneous waveform generation, pulse-width modulation, sub-oscillator operation, hard and soft synchronization, and frequency modulation. Noise and ring modulation are routed to a pre-filter mixer.
02 / Dual Filters
ASYX utilizes the A6’s ASIC-based filters: a 12 dB/octave multimode filter (inspired by the Oberheim SEM) and a 24 dB/octave low-pass filter (inspired by the Moog 904A). These include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filter configurations, with options for serial or parallel routing and independent pre- and post-filter mixing.
03 / Envelope Generator
Three envelope generators, each offering six waveform shapes and individual controls for frequency, amplitude, offset, initial phase, duty cycle, and polarity. Each envelope generator also includes settings for delay, triggering, and clock synchronization.
04 / Multi-Stage Envelopes
Three seven-stage envelopes, consisting of: delay, attack, two decay stages, sustain, and two release stages. Nine customizable curves for each stage—attack, decay, and release—with adjustable intermediate levels. Additional controls include looping, triggering and re-triggering, velocity sensitivity, key tracking, and smoothing.
05 / Deep Modulation
Modulation routing with independent controls for source, destination, amount, offset, and activation. Sources include envelopes, LFOs, sample-and-hold, a tracking generator, MIDI, and performance controllers; destinations encompass envelope timing, as well as oscillator, filter, and effect parameters.
06 / Sequencer / Arpeggiator
A 16-step sequencer with per-note controls for pitch, velocity, gate, and rest, plus an arpeggiator with its own grid and configuration settings. Sequencer and arpeggiator settings are saved with each program.
07 / Effects
29 digital effect algorithms, including chorus, delay, reverb, and various combination configurations. Algorithm parameters and effect settings are saved with each program.
08 / Analog Character
Independent depth controls for variations in oscillator settings, tracking, pulse width, filter cutoff and resonance, envelope timing, voice levels, global drift, and oscillator drift. A master “Analog” control scales the combined variation.
09 / Mix Mode
Up to 16 parts per plugin instance, allowing for multitimbral operation, keyboard splits, and layering. Each part has its own program, MIDI channel, key range, level, and output routing.
Comprehensive Patch Management
Over 1,200 built-in programs, including original factory sounds and artist banks. Search by name, author, or bank; filter by category; and keep your favorites close at hand.
Your Sounds.
For Both Instruments.
Thanks to bidirectional MIDI connectivity, the A6’s controls and buttons can operate ASYX. Enable real-time parameter transmission so that any changes made in ASYX are reflected on the hardware. This applies to compatible program parameters, allowing you to make adjustments via either interface.
Import original A6 SysEx programs and banks into your library, or send the current program—including unsaved changes—to a specific hardware slot. You can also transfer entire banks. Patch and bank transfers are separate from real-time editing and require confirmation before overwriting any programs on the hardware.
Store large banks in the ASYX format, and prepare a 128-program bank whenever you need to transfer it to the hardware unit. Features exclusive to ASYX—such as polyphonic aftertouch—remain software-based functions.
Epic Inspiration
The Alesis Andromeda A6 combined sixteen analog voices, dual filters, and extensive modulation capabilities. Today, finding a functional unit is becoming increasingly difficult, and rising prices on the secondary market have put them out of reach for many musicians.
Furthermore, maintaining them has become a significant challenge. The Andromeda relies on specialized chips—ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits)—for its oscillators and filters; as a result, many units are no longer operational because replacement parts are impossible to find. ASYX was developed to make this instrument available as software. Working directly with the original A6 synthesizer, we measured, compared, and refined its behavior, while maintaining compatibility with the original with patches. For those who already own a synthesizer, this is another way to make use of their sounds. For everyone else, it’s an opportunity to access a synthesizer without the costs associated with outdated hardware and its maintenance.
Changelog:
New features and reliability improvements:
ASYX 1.30.1 — November 11, 2026
Changes since version 1.29.1
Added undo and redo functionality for the last 100 editing steps of the current sound. A new edit history is created whenever a different patch is loaded.
Added eight MIDI macro controls (A–H) on a slide-out panel, featuring custom naming and a “MIDI Learn” function. (Double-click a macro name on the control panel to rename it.) These names also appear in the modulation source lists on the LCD.
The Ribbon and Macro sections now share a tabbed layout—stacked vertically—allowing both to be open simultaneously.
Improved envelope and LFO controls for DAW automation and external controller mapping, including musical-time sync divisions and envelope selection.
Removed the banner that appeared during MIDI Learn mode.
Fixed an issue where switching to Mix mode would trigger an “Invalid working-copy baseline” error when restoring changes from an earlier version.
The master tempo control now displays and adjusts the tempo of the local arpeggiator. Arpeggiators set to external clock sync continue to follow the master tempo; the patch’s sync source setting is preserved.
Fixed crashes in the Windows editor caused by repeated window resizing.
