I've updated the original post. Thanks for the insight. |

just like any production n00b, i have my sights set on an access virus synth (hopefully i'll EVENTUALLY get the cash for one...)
i was just wondering basically what the differences are between the B, C, TI and polar varieties, whether they're types of sounds, hardware-software interfaces, or... what??
just if anyone has some time, sorry if this is a re-post,
Cheers :) |

Between the B and C, the main differences are the C has a bit more voices, the Moog emulation filter, and EQ.
The Ti has the VSTi interface, a bunch more voices, wavetables, hypersaw, grain and formant synthesis, reverb/delay per part (could only have either reverb or delay on the C and it was shared for the whole synth), and now a bit more FX like tape delay. |

@Subtle --- Am I incorrect? |

| I've only owned two hardware synths...the first being the Novation Xiosynth, which was a huge let down, to put it lightly. The second would be the Virus TI, which would be the polar opposite. Pun. Seriously though, it's a dream to work with, whether through the actual hardware or the VST controller. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do, and that's a good feeling to have with any synthesizer. |

I've updated my thoughts on the instrument.
4. Novation Supernova II--Personally I didn't like its gritty sound. The OSCs and sound engine are also somewhat weak. but it's on the top of my "sold long ago" list for a reason. Maybe I'll purchase another one day, but I doubt it. |

I do miss my Supernova. Not as much as my miss my Nord 2X, but I do miss it and may pick up a SNII at some point. [sheds a tear] :(
On the other hand, I've got a DSI Poly Evolver, Moog Voyager RME, and DSI Mopho en route to their new home, so I don't think I'll be missing either of those synths for long. :D
How ya' digging your PEK, alanzo? I've already started holding my breath for the Alan-M PEK/PER patches. |
