Why is Virus B consistently cheaper

Everywhere I look, I find that the Virus B is -significantly- cheaper than Virus C. Why? Is C that much better?

Um, I just browsed through several pages after searching and couldn't find the answer to this specific question. Don't be so quick to tell me to search without looking yourself.

I'm not a Virus user so I can't answer anything correctly. However, I believe the thread that allcentury18 is talking about it is here:

Clicky!

Hope it answers your questions

Why wouldn't it be cheaper??? The C has better specs, more polyphony, more filters, more effects, it's newer, better looking... basically just a later model... That's like asking "Hey why is a 1998 BMW M3 cheaper then a 2004 BMW M3" .... well, because they introduced a new model, that's why (And yes, I do believe that the Access Virus is the BMW of synthsizers ... which happens to be my favorite car brand )

Thanks, I just wasn't sure how much better C was than B.

I'm personally a Porsche guy, though. ;P

The difference between the B and C is mainly onboard FX.. The C has alot more FX.. Broader phaser/chourus/distortion-options.. I think delay/reverb is about the same though.. Also, the polyphony is better on the virus C.. Oh, and the matrix-modulation is better I think.. :-)

I would go for the virus b though, as most people add fx after recording.. I still love my KC though <3
Anyway.. google is you friend, and www.access-music.de is the manufacturer.
