Does the Access Virus C have Roland's famous "supersaw" wave?

After reading that a lot of trance stuff is made with Roland's famous JP-8080 "supersaw", I was wondering if there are any similiar sounds on the Virus. Obviously there's the default saw wave, but I was wondering if any of the Wave Oscillators (1-64) have a similiar shape.

If not, could somebody possibly post a link to a sample of this wave form?

There is no supersaw waveform on the Virus, but achieving similar-sounding results are certainly possible. In order to investigate the waveforms contained within the Virus, you can go to Access' web page and you can download graphical representations of all the available waveforms (in the download area). http://www.access-music.de/

The access Virus does not have the Supersaw waveform. BUT.. There was a tutoral on the net that explained stp by step how to reproduce the exact supersaw wave from on the virus.

I'll try and find it and will post the lick if I do...

Thanks a lot. That would be greatly appreciated! By the way everyone, the page which has the Access Virus C waveforms is:

A supersaw is basically nothing else than 7 or eight regular saw waveforms slightly detuned. It won't take too much to recreate this on a Virus.

I've seen those threads saying that the Virus can recreate the supersaw, but I'm not convinced. The JP has a different color than the Virus, and to achieve the exact supersaw on the Virus would be quite tough, it's not as simple as seven detuned saws. Someone on another forum said it best, if you want the supersaw, buy a JP.
My personal suggestion, buy the JP, use the supersaw judiciously and savor the JP's pads, they are very analogish.
