~Welcome to Planet Virus~

There is a Virus l Player at the Virus Website (http://www.access-music.de/products.php4) where you can listen to some of the preset patches......

The Virus C is an amazing synth, and Im sure would be perfectly able to create these sounds you talk of, and I think the new Ti will sound similar to the C, except of course much much cooler!!!

Go to your local audio store and play aound with a Virus for a few hours......or if a friend has one, borrow it.

Good luck mate,

The TI is going to be an extension to the Virus c and at the same time will be offereing alot of new possibilities.

VA synths are capable of covering 99% of musical genres. The Virus is particularly versatile in comparison to other brands.

I really like the sound of the strings and pads on the Virus, infact the past 5 or 6 tracks I've polished off that have pads are all VC. I can't see any problems with the Virus doing what your after. It's all personal taste though.

PS. I'm sure you can make sounds that would fit nicely into a German porn flick if you'd like to too. :wink:

German.. girls.. porn.. monkeys and beer?!?!?!

You got my attention now;

One of those movies with deep scanning dialog like "Ach! Sehr! Ich komme! Ach!"?

Nah, i don't like that movie - i've already seen it. My personal favourite gotta be;

"Ser sch?ne, ja ja.. das ist gut.. ja ja!!.. Eine zwei drie bitte!! JAJA!! Ich habe der orgasmie"

karl, I am well versed with the NakedMusic style and have had a virus kc for almost 2 years. The virus is arguably the best VA on the market for those types of music. In fact, many of the synth parts on the classic naked recordings are the virus a (jay denes, the father of NakedMusic, also uses a kurzweil, logic, and DX7-style FM synthesizers, among other things).

The virus can make the crisp leads, pristine pads, and the minimoog filter emulation is excellent to nail that Jay Denes or Gabriel Rene bass sound (remember, though, that they often use a live bassist too)

The newer sonic additions to the TI, such as the wavetable stuff and the supersaw oscillators, are less useful for that type of house music, although they certainly are great tools that show up all over the board in techno, pop, trance, etc.

It's also easy to look past the fact that the Virus excels fo r creating analog drum sounds and as an effects processor. I'm not a big fan of the vocoder, though; personally, I'm much more impressed with Logic's EVOC20. Correct me if I'm wrong, forum, but my ears tell me that Miguel Migs was using EVOC 20 on Lisa Shaw's voice to acheive that classic NM parallel-processed vocoder vocal thing.

This all being said, it would be very difficult to make NakedMusic style or really any classic house music without a DX7-style FM synthesizer such as Native Instruments FM7. The Virus does not have that covered yet, although it seems that they have everything else covered so it's probably only a matter of time.

Hope this helps
