Probably the powercore with the virus powercore multi license.
unlimited virus b's (well, limited to the ammount of processing units on your DSP card) for the price of about 1 second hand virus b :D
Cheaper than a TI and nearly the same possibilities, put in a software plug...
Those processing cards are awesome! |
I dont this this is true.....you can get a virus b for about $650 USD and a cheap powercore for about $400 and the virus powercore for about $350...then the multi license for $249, yes u can have multiple viruses but it still costs more. Thats about $1000. |

| i would be careful buying dsp cards. They don't run on alot of sound card / mobo configurations. Having said that , i own 2 UAD and 2 powercore with pretty much every plugin available. They rock. |

On average the virus is more expensive here in NL ;). At least 25%.
Then again, paying a bit more than a virus b for multiple? :D
And some other plugins of course... The software flexibility...
I'd prefer it over a hardware B any day, personally. |

| just remember that the Virus Powercore is modeled after the Virus A/indigo 1 technology...and its said that the osc's are just a bit more dirty than the b...but that could also be the D/A converters..i'm not really sure. |

| the A only has 2 ossilators. The PowerCore virus is identical to the B. I'm almost certain. |

| I thought so too... I was left it doubt by that 2nd post back though. |

Yo might be right but all I'm saying is that the powecore virus is built after indogo 1 technology...therefor the oscillators programing is different....the oscillators are not identical to the virus b. I'm sure they are pretty close though. |

- CON
It has a smaller keyboard then a normal virus with keys.
It is more expensive.
It's has got too few keys.
I'd rather have a rack/desktop version.
- something in between
It has the same features as the virus serie it is part of.
- PRO
It looks cool.
It looks so cool.
Damn it looks cool
Did I mention it looks really cool? |

| so its suppose to be kind of a mini-virus with keys, and the same specs ? |

Yes, same specs.
The Indigo is a Virus B and the Indigo II is a Virus C as far as I know. |

Nothing beats the Virus TI Goldfilter. Wouldn't it be cool to own this?
Too bad they don't sell it. :( |
