No, it's a hardware synth, pretty powerful one at that, that works in standalone mode, but can also integrate with your DAW via a dedicated plugin, also works as an audio card, a completely programmable MIDI controller, a hardware effects unit, and comes with arguably the nicest (Fatar) keybed available for a synth. Soundwise, sure, lots of soft synths get the job done, so if you don't need or want to invest in something that does what the Virus TI does, you don't need to. |
oh ok, that makes more sense
Just one more noob question: how is it better than say a Nord Lead 3?

The Virus isn't better, just different and with more features. The NL3 doesn't have the DAW integration, or the audio card, has fewer parts, etc., but was also cheaper. That said, I would argue that, feature-for-feature, the one area when the Virus is better is the keybed. The keybed on the Virus Polar and keyboard models are far superior to the ones on the Nords - it's pretty annoying that Clavia makes such a great synth, then slaps a cheap-ass keybed on it. Regardless, the Nord Rack 3 is still one of my favorite hardware synths to this day.
