Coming soon: A6Lite, New Update, Forum?
Hello all, I hope you've been enjoying A6Plus! I do apologize for any bugs that you've encountered (like most things, you fix one thing and 3 other bugs pop up). Currently I'm aware of envelopes misbehaving for some users. I'm going to put out a big update next week; I've got a busy few days…
A6Plus Beta 1.1.2 is now Available!
Hello everyone! A6Plus Beta 1.1.2 is now on the website, which should fix a “hanging notes” bug that many were encountering in Beta 1.0, and also adds an experimental new highest-pressure Polyphonic Aftertouch mode, though this is untested as I don't have a Poly AT keyboard. The base Andromeda only supports mono aftertouch, so this mode…

Gordon at GT Synthware
Hello! I'm Gordon! I'm a huge synthesizer nerd from the Midwest who loves using synths in scores for films and video games, and occasionally makes indie pop and rock music I'm a recent grad from the University of Nebraska. What started as a happy accident has now become a major passion of mine, giving back to the synthesizer community and keeping old synths relevant for years to come!
FAQ:
What's your favorite synthesizer you've ever owned?
Oberheim Xpander. Absolutely loved that thing and it inspired the stereo voice spread mode in A6Plus. My only Obie I've ever owned. I would love to get my hands on a Matrix-12 someday.
What other synths can we expect firmware for?
I currently own several other synths, including a Tauntek Roland Jupiter-6, DSI Poly Evolver, Ensoniq SD-1, Ensoniq Mirage, Ensoniq ESQ-1, and Korg Prologue. I'll happily look into making more firmware for these synths, and whatever else I end up acquiring in the future, both vintage and modern!
Will this brick my machine?
Probably not, but please see my Disclaimer.
