If you include VSTs as well ,
Z3ta , Massive , Sylenth1 and Gladiator is pretty good ..

nordlead could be interesting although I think they dont even ship to canada anymore or some shit...

How much you think I could sell a virus C rack now? I dont see them on ebay ...

600USD? Have no idea really, but i remember seeing it for 800 some years ago (im talking about the desktop version not the full on keyboard). Get the Clavia second hand too from ebay , its a damn good synth especialy its raw sound. It might not have all the functions which Virus and MicroQ have but the oscillators sounds fucking great.
Dry pure strong full resoluted wamr (!)
Virus stuff can be done with VST anyway.

Virus Ti wont give you anyhting (soundwise) that the virus c and waldorf already give you.

Personally i would get a nord 2x or 2 (second hand maybe). A moog LP and maybe something a bit oldskool like the juno 106. Would be cheaper than buying a virus and would give you a much much wider pallete of sounds + better resale value.

Im watching nordlead 2x demos and youre probably right...

I always liked how the nordlead sounded too, but virus was just too awesome lol

dilemma between selling my virus c and getting the ti or getting nordlead i guess..

imo the virus is all in the efex, which is perfectly possible with the nord lead too when mixed with VST efex only have better ground to build it on. imo. i wouldnt even think twice, if i ever get a synth again it will be a Clavia (im waiting for a TI version from them).

what do you mean by impossible to operate?

too much meny diving + the endless rotarys are way to sensitive, jumping from 0-127 only touching it. that might be my version only though but its the meny diving that kills me (killed me I got rid of it). its worth mentioning though im not the patient type, so it might work for others.

i got used to the menu diving I guess the the 0-127 bug is annoying at times

Posted by gr8ape on May-12-2009 18:48:

ok i can get a virus ti 2 for about 1800 or an nl2x for about 1300

both are tempting

on the analog side of things, I also looked up for a jupiter 6, price is around 1800 also

lol thats a pretty darn good idea, hadnt really thought of that...

Posted by RichieV on May-12-2009 18:56:

room treatment has to be the most important purchase even before monitors. And comfort so you can work long hours and not hurt.
