Alesis Andromeda A6 Samples by Kenneth Elhardt

Via Kenneth Elhardt on AH. Wow. Enjoy. No title link, everything below.

"Here are some Carlos/Baroque style demos. All were done on the Andromeda.
The only onboard effect used was delay, the only post effects were reverb,
bass/treble, and some EQ on the Timpani. The time for each is given, so you
can figure out the file size from there if download time is an issue. About
512K for 0:30 seconds. And as always, every note was played by hand. No
sequencers, midi files, or half speed recording was used."

(1:30) I get annoyed when people repeat pieces Carlos has already done
instead of something new, but I had to use one of those Scarlatti sonatas
myself because its structured in a way that seems to best allow a variety of
timbres to be shown. This is the most colorful of the lot. The point was for
me to try out my Andromeda W.Carlos soundset and see if I'm on the right
track. 2 oscs per voice and subpar filters are quite a limitation when doing
Carlos impressions, though mix mode does help in the few places I used it.
Please ignore the slight flub at 0:47.

(0:20) I don't have the music score for this one, so I faked it.

(0:39) The point of this piece was to go from the solo instrument to full
out complex and energetic polyphony that hits you at 0:13.

(1:50) I wanted to try a slow movement that's kind of loose sounding.

(0:39) Timpani is the only acoustic mimicry here.
