Ok, never having owned a virus, but always wanted one, I can only give my list of VSt favorites and some reasons why you should try them out.
Sylenth1 - Dealt with at the start of the thread, but this "simple" synth just simply sounds GOOD and that's it. Take another synth and set it to similar settings, try to recreate the same sound but sylenth's oscillators and filters are just so fucking liquid it's like sonic ecstacy Give it a go, it's a good contender for alot of the classic virus sounds, but like others have pointed out the architecture is very different. No PWM, which sucks
z3ta+ - Oldie but goldie. Lots of modulation, lots to choose from. Make SURE to set the render quality to High (took me 2 years to realize that ) Like Sylenth1, no PWM, which again SUCKS!!
Vember Audio Surge - Wavetables, built in FX, nice filters, incredible modulation. Basically this can do much of what the Virus does but it has a really flat sonic character IMO.
Albino3 - Again, loads of parameters and features, closer to the virus in character I think. Fat filters (many versions) and good pre-filter saturation. I really like this one alot. Can do supersaws (oscillator unisono). Lots of digital waveforms to choose from and can morph between them, but no real wavetables. I think this is as close as you'll come to a Virus VST emulation |
oo man you seem to know a lot about these synths, i have all of them and i can totaly agree with you
