ANDROMIZER 1.2

Random patch generator for the Alesis Andromeda A6.

"Tired of your A6 always sounding the same? (Yeah right ;-)

ANDROMIZE it!



ANDROMIZER is a utility designed to screw up your Alesis Andromeda's current program edit buffer. Utterly, completely, and irretrievably.

ANDROMIZER sends series of MIDI sysex messages to your A6, automatically changing lots of program parameters to random values. The result can be stored in patch memory or tweaked until doomsday and then stored, or even discarded on the fly.

What to expect?
Your instant, self-running, aleatoric chaos patch will not appear just using a randomizer. Remember that the only thing this tool does, is: to give a host of parameters totally random values. Most often, after a complete run of ANDROMIZER, what you will hear is complete silence, because most combinations of parameter values in a system like this just do not make sense. I have tried to reduce the number of useless configurations... but not too much, since such a selection process necessarily means applying personal taste. Be prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking, trying to figure out why the bloody thing sounds like it does (or does not make any sound at all), and how to make it sound more to your liking...

How to use it?
In all the ways it wasn't designed for, how else? :-) Seriously, I could tell you how I've used it successfully to create some remarkable sounds, but that wouldn't be much fun, would it? The only advice I will share: be selective about which modules to randomize. Not all of them are equally useful. And don't forget you can use the Normalize button to (wholly or partly) initialize your patch to default values."
