ABOUT the era of 16bit drum machines - theee standard of the 90s but nothing special, it was used on a lot of EBM tracks those days and distorted now, they all wanted that 90s Frontline Assembly kind of sound.
ABOUT Der typische Proberaumdrummer, wurde auch gern für EBM benutzt, weil die Sounds damals erstmals "16 Bit Kraft" hatte, was natürlich heute anders gesehen werden kann - Dennoch findet man sie in verzerrter Form heute noch in vielen Futurepop Tracks (EBM/Trance beeinflusste Tracks aka Weiberelectro der späteren 90er bis 200X).
Realtime und Stepeingabe gibt es und die Klänge lassen sich "etwas" regeln (wie zB auch Maschinen wie die Boss DR550).

strange, they always had real usable things, they invented the ADAT recorders and a series of well known FX boxes. the best known one and now discontinued is the 16 voiced real analogue Andromeda, which drew much more attention to Alesis as a synth manufacturer who instroduced VA synths later. today they changed more to the DAW kind of products which are still interesting like more affordable CC boxes for DAW and Mixing. after the release of Andromeda they went into insolvency and where bought by Numark, the DJ mixer company and the A6 dropped the price but the Andro team was fired. anyway it was the most remarkable product of Alesis ever made. there's no other 16 voice poly synth of that complexity around and will sooner or later be mentioned along with the Jupiter 8, the Matrx 12 or the Prophet 5. So thanks to Dave Bryce and Mike Peake (and others) for struggeling to make it real and hope there will be a second generation "Andromeda" incl. 3 Octave, Desktop and Rack Verison with faster LFO as they all wish.
