Never heard of it before today. I have no opinion of the synth, but I have to say that the interface and description of it is annoying as hell. It's analog almost analog as if analog we analog say the analog word analog enough analog times, analog everyone will analog believe analog that it is analog actually an analog synth.

haha indeed but a good tool for building tracks and very clean sounds to work with and the gui is simple to use :toocool: :toocool: |

Your analogous analogy provides a descriptive analogue of the marketing.

:p
It reminds me of every product in the Behringer line with the word "Pro" in the model name - if we say it's "Pro", it must be true. I think I'll change my name to cryoPROphonikalog so people will starting taking me seriously. :rolleyes: |

Why would I want only a Virus and sound like everyone else? |

| I have'nt found that one synth that I cant live without, I make use of whatever is clever at the moment, and would just use another one if one was taken away. Dont know if I ever will find a clear essential synth or vsti. Though i'm sure a Prophet 5 or Jupiter 8 would change all that, after hearing some demos and music made with those. |

Not sounding like everybody else has more to do with not writing generic tracks with generic sounds. The synth used plays no part in this.
Only a small number of producers stuck in their own little producer bubble would believe that the character of each synth is what defines your sound from somebody else. |

Hah. Well how can I avoid using generic sounds if every wana-be trance producer on the planet is using the same instrument?
Look, I'm not saying it's impossible to make a unique sounding track with only the Virus, and I don't doubt that I couldn't spot the Virus in a mix when it's used well, but I don't want to have to go through all the effort to avoid sounds I've heard 1000 times. This is not an easy thing to do with the Virus ... basically avoiding its character. |

You've missed the point completely. YOU as a keen synth enthusiast and experienced producer might recognise the virus character but about 99% of people out there who will listen to your music won't have a clue.
They might be able to differentiate a supersaw from a fart bass sound, but they certainly couldn't differentiate one supersaw from another and know when certain tracks have been made with the same synths.
I'll try and simplify it further.
5 trance tunes are released to the public. Each one using different synths to the others. But all using the same type of sounds eg - supersaws leads, fart basslines, distorted square stabs etc etc. The group of listeners will hear these tracks and feel they are all very samey in terms of the general sound despite the fact that they all used different synths.
Now take another 5 trance tunes. All are made using primarily the same synth and nothing else. But every tune uses its own unique sounds, nothing generic with plenty of variety between them. The group of listeners hear these and would never guess they all used the same synth because the SOUNDS used varied greatly.
Comprende?
You almost give the impression that you do use generic "heard it all before" sounds and therefore believe that the only way to differentiate your track from someone else is through choosing a less common synth. |
