the must have synth
is the virus still the one to get?
i had taken a really long break, and i just want a new machine to get me going again
do you know of anything that's coming out and perhaps is worth waiting for? like the mooge guitar, which already came out, and isn't really the proper genre
thanks

Yeah, the new Virus TI's are probably the most versatile hardware synths on the market nowadays, but some of the new analog synths (e.g., Dave Smith, Moog, sE) are pretty popular as well.

Hmm, well depending on how long a break we're talking about, are you aware of VSTs? Most people are using mostly or entirely software these days. A hardware synth is a bit of a luxury really, nice to have but not at all essential
Software synths that are must haves are stuff like Albino, Z3ta, V station (older) or Massive, Absynth, FM8, Gladiator etc. (newer)

My guess would be that more trance producers have Viruses than other hardware synths. It'd be the one to get, if it's the first synth you're getting with trance in mind, or you're only thinking of getting one hardware synth.
There are many other excellent synths which complement it nicely and provide additional sonic textures, but the Virus is still the one to get.
