AIR Fabric Vintage Andromeda
Synthesizer Virtual Instrument
Powerful, Immersive, and Ready for Revival
A 16-voice multitimbral giant known for its sheer depth, the original Alesis Andromeda A6 brought together a fully analog signal path with innovative digital functionality.
Fabric Vintage Andromeda takes this timeless polysynth's monstrous sonic range and puts it right at your fingertips.
A Modern Classic That's Already Nostalgic
Pushing the envelope beyond traditional polyphonic analog synthesizer design, the original early 2000s Alesis Andromeda A6 became a studio staple and a modern-era performance powerhouse.
Fabric Vintage Andromeda brings the expansive, deeply expressive character of this 16-voice multitimbral instrument to your next digital production session.
From huge pads and evolving textures to powerful basses and detailed leads, this synth is all about depth and movement.
Fabric Vintage Andromeda builds on that foundation with modern polyphony, advanced modulation, integrated effects, and performance-ready control - no menu diving or complex patch building required.
Create expansive soundscapes, push your low end forward, and build layers that fill out your mix with ease.
Dial in thick pads, add subtle drift and movement, or stack voices for dense, evolving textures that feel full and immersive.
With an intuitive interface and a streamlined workflow, Fabric Vintage Andromeda makes it easy to shape polished, powerful sounds quickly, whether you're sketching ideas or refining a final mix.
Combining classic analog depth with modern electronic, ambient, and cinematic production, this tool is great for musicians and producers seeking dramatic, bold, attention-grabbing tones.
Fabric Vintage Andromeda is available for MPC Standalone, MPC Desktop, and all major DAWs.
The Sounds of Your Favorite Synthesizer
Fabric Vintage Andromeda is powered by the Fabric sound engine, an advanced multi-sample synthesis platform that delivers a consistent UI and modulation architecture, with the following features that make it familiar and flexible for all AIR instrument users.
- Two multi-sample layer oscillators plus one percussive layer
- Independent filter, envelope, and LFO controls per layer
- Deep sound design tools for editing presets or building patches from scratch
Intuitive Front Panel Design
Designed for modern production workflows, the stylized front panel page of Fabric Vintage Andromeda offers eight macro controls, four oscillator toggles, and five FX module toggles.
This layout puts essential sound-shaping tools right at your fingertips.
Powerful Dual Main Oscillators
Two main oscillators offer categorized selectors, volume, pan, and formant controls, plus octave, coarse, and fine tuning.
Pitch randomization and drift bring analog warmth, while sample start offset adds sonic variety.
Each oscillator features a dedicated BPM-syncable LFO with eight wave shapes, plus rate, fade-in, depth, and multiple modulation destinations.
Dedicated Noise Generator
Shape noise with volume, pan, filter, decay, and release offset controls.
Its dedicated BPM-syncable LFO enables rhythmic modulation, perfect for adding grit or movement to your sound.
Detailed Amp and Filter Envelopes
Dedicated ADSR amp and filter envelopes include velocity sensitivity and velocity-to-attack time mapping.
The filter envelope features bipolar depth control for creative modulation.
The instrument also has a dedicated ADSR pitch envelope.
Dynamic Arpeggiator
Add rhythmic complexity to your sound with multiple arpeggiator shapes, note order and max note options, swing, and advanced timing controls.
Features like momentary arp freeze, repeat, ratchet, octave randomization, and pause make for an organic sound-sculpting experience with each session.
The arpeggiator is MPE compatible and supports assignable modulation sources.
Presets That Inspire
Explore and experiment with an extensive library of sounds.
Fabric Vintage Andromeda comes packed with studio-quality presets covering basses, pads, leads, sequences, and cinematic textures.
Unified Synth Edit Page
All classic synths in the Fabric Vintage Synths Collection share a common GUI/TUI layout to provide a consistent and familiar user experience.
Dive deep into sound design with access to every parameter across oscillators, modulation, envelopes, and effects.
Flexible Sub Oscillator
Add body and character to your mixes with Fabric's virtual analog Sub Oscillator offering four selectable wave shapes, volume and pan control, and filter with decay and release offset.
It also includes pitch drift, pan key-tracking, and a dedicated BPM-syncable LFO for evolving textures.
Global LFO for Complex Modulation
A global LFO with eight different LFO shapes and BPM sync allows you to modulate multiple parameters simultaneously.
Adjustable rate, fade-in, and depth controls give you more control over modulation intensity and timing.
Comprehensive FX Suite
Fabric Vintage Andromeda has a fixed FX section that includes five modules with mix controls.
The distortion section offers 12 models with depth, filtering, smoothing, and two modulation sources.
The delay features BPM-syncable modes (single, dual, cross) with extensive feedback options and a feedback LFO.
The reverb section includes 12 models, 16 early reflection models, and controls for pre-delay, time, damp, plus EQ and compression.
Expression and Expansion
Fabric Vintage Andromeda is MPE compatible. It also is equipped with assignable mod wheel, aftertouch, expression, and footswitch controls that allow for seamless compatibility with MIDI controllers and other external gear.
