Getting a Virus C

[tee]

I'm thinking about getting a desktop Virus C and I hope to get some guiding thoughts.
Is there a pdf manual online for checking out the virus properly before buying? I've looked around the access web w/ no luck.
Can I split the desktop virus C's sounds on a midi Keyboard?
Instead of getting the desktop, should I rather invest in a powercore + virus when it comes out? What would the advantages be each?

I'm thinking about getting a desktop Virus C and I hope to get some guiding thoughts.

We can try.

Is there a pdf manual online for checking out the virus properly before buying? I've looked around the access web w/ no luck.

Go here.

Scroll down the page just a little and you will see the Virus C manual download.

Can I split the desktop virus C's sounds on a midi Keyboard?

I think that depends on how you mean split. Once you've download the manual though, all the functions concerning midi will be answered.

You'll find a little bit of info/opinions here.

It's still very new and I don't know anyone using it just yet. Maybe the other place to get some ideas would be comparing specs at the access site.

Thanks Hallowcell!
I'll take a look at all the sites you noted.

Of course you can do splits. In multi mode you can set key ranges for every channel.

Well that saves you looking through the manual for that one. :wink:

Thanks again. you both answered my question and I did find it in the manual!
As I find the Virus C sound great and with great possibilities for tweaking I'm also looking at the new Nord G2. Does anyone of you have any experience with both of them (or the Nord Leads). Would the two complement each other or would they sound too similar as both are VA's. (Naturally the G2 is more flexible as a modular) I am just think down the road. First the Virus...

I have a NL2 and they do compliment eachother quite well. I would love a G2 though.

i think the g2 is every musician\sound designer's wet dream
or maybe its just mine :wink:
