| imo, get the novation v-station (vst) and an access virus c, then you have the best of both worlds ;) |

| moog baby - that is the review for the indigo, the latest is the indigo 2, so maybe thats better? Im more tempted to get a decent midi controller keyboard and buy the virus c now, just had a sudden change of mind! |

From what I've heard, the Virus C or KC is a much better value than the Indigo.
I would take a Supernova II over a Virus B, but I would probably take a Virus KC over the Supernova. This is just because Im all about pads and strings. You gotta decide which kind of sounds you want and figure out what each synth excels at. |

Fortune, I'm lucky enuf to own both a Virus KC and SuperNova II. They both have there strenght's and weakness. For me, the Virus is awsome for the Bass End, and some pad/strings. SuperNova, II with the Double Saw, which im tryin to learn, from what I can see on preset's comes pretty close to the JP-8000 SuperSaw, but it has a different taste.
Anybody use the Waldorf Q, or Q+? |

I use the micro Q,
most powerfull synth in my setup, but sounds rather digital
great for exf, bass, creative leads.
I've made a demo.. reverb comes from my mixer cause onboard Q reverb kinda sux an1x are onboard efx.
most are init patches. first one is double saw in unison on Q with onboard arp. you'll here it'll sound warm but in a digital way.. hard to explain just listen.
To compare in warmth I put some an1x patches after it starting from the rank 1 tune. An1x beats it in warmth but can also make some great weirdo efx with fm (didn't put them in demo to) from 5.25 its my an1x
pick it up HERE
I'm having examinations so its done quickly and its all played realtime its just to give an example and i forgot to set sf to record stereo again so its mono. Enjoy.. |

Hmmm, very good sounding. and that's just the Micro Q? Basically a scaled down version of the bigger Bro's Q, Q+?
Not bad, not bad. I likes!!! :) |

| hey cheggy |
| You're right, the micro Q does sound very digital. |

| I must say I've never regretted buying it for 1 second you can go very far in terms of synthesis. The micro Q is a slimmed down Q, but the Q + has in fact a real analog filter onboard thus sounding fatter and warmer (but has a rather big price tag :D) these are just some small examples of what the q is capable of.. it can sound warm but in a digital way :p |

Ya the Q+ is like 3,000-4,000$$ US Money. But if it's werth the pennies, then saving up for it, would be worth it.
Someone told me that the 4 Must Synths are:
Virus C, or Virus KC
Novation SuperNova II
JP-8000 or 8080
Waldorf Q
All Agree? or opinions?
So Far I got 3 of the 4, but just need to learn how to program the damm things, instead of using presets. I tell tho, I did get all of Manuel Schleis patches he made for those boards, some good he programmed.. It's a start for me, even tho someone else did them..
For those who don't know. which Im sure most do.
