A6
Seamless bi-directional sync

The Andromeda A6 is a huge synth, with hundreds of parameters spread over many pages of its display. I made this Andromeda A6 editor so you can see all of it at once: every oscillator, all three filters, the envelopes and LFOs, the arpeggiator and sequencer, the mod routes, Mix mode and the digital effects.

As far as I know, it is also the first synth editor with its own MCP server. Add it to Claude Code or Codex, describe a sound in plain words, and the assistant reads and sets every Program and Mix parameter in the editor, digital effects included, while the A6 plays the result.

I do this all the time with voice transcription: “make a patch out of Blade Runner”, or “a unison detuned saw lead with an unstable, wobbly pitch, and a delayed LFO that comes in the longer I hold a note.”

Mix mode

Load whole Mixes from the editor: 16 channels, each with its own Program. Splits, layers and drum kits are all on one screen.
