Hi all,
I placed an order for the Access Virus TI. Which classic synth should I buy to complement this one? (I've got none so far)..
Thanks,

If you will have a Virus TI soon, let me think about the
possibilities you have...
- JP80x0 is a classic for trancey supersaw leads, but the Virus TI has enough power to emulate the supersaw strings/pads/lead stuff. In my opinion, JP80x0 is overused to make supersaw stuff, while it's a great machine for much more sounds, specially plucked sounds for arpeggios. But really, if you have a TI, for while forget the JP80x0!
- Supernova II is an amazing synth for smooth (fat) pads, euro-trancey leads etc. The oscillator section has a lot of controls in order to make a fine-tunning in the waveform generated and emulate classic analog sounds. I found out this synth is underrated for psy-trance sounds (Astrix, Talamasca etc. stuff).
- There are Nord Lead 2/3; Waldorf Q/Micro-Q but do you know? Forget any other VA, because you will have a Virus C with wavetable sinthesis and total integration with your PC!
Virus Ti is ALMOST all you need... If I were you, I would try something real analog like MKS80 Super Jupiter (Jupiter 8 rack with MIDI - it's is really powerful and amazing) or to use a powerful ROMpler (Yamaha Motif, Roland XV5050) or CD's samples + Emagic EXS24 sampler (it has a powerful filter) in order to make other instruments like piano/acoustic/real string/cellos etc.
