Purely a curious demographic question relating to all hardware Viruses of the B, C, and eventually the Ti series...

I wondered as to which forms of Virus (ie. keyboard, desktop, 37-note, rack) were more popular than others? Or even what percentage/share they each might have had, over all Viruses sold?

As it's a bit difficult to do that via a poll, vote which Virus "type" you think were/are probably the most popular.

I'd say the desktop-version is/was the best selling

Yeah definetly desktop. I've got at feeling that the B wins.

probably the desktop, but that's a shame because the 61 key board is so good.

desktop - its the cheapest. the 300 quid saving on the C over the KC and over the TI overy the TI KB could soooooo be usuable somewhere else. i think thats significant especially since alot of peeps into production already have a midi keyboard

Ok, sooo putting aside costing or how many of each type were sold for one moment, which version (desktop / kbd / 37-note kbd / rack) would be your favourite?

I would say the desktop is my favorite. i have a 88key weighted piano, so the keys on either the Kc or indigo/polar are not a factor. Not to mention the desktop is almost a grand cheaper.

Not the best kind of keyboard for synth sounds. Feels really odd to play any other than piano/rhodes/wurly sounds with weighted keyboard. Especially hammond or fast leads.

I am used to it by now. It is my only option unless I am trying to play a lead, so I have gotten used to it. If I am "trying" to play a lead, then I use the 2 octave Oxygen 8, that basically has no action. It is very springy, just up and down.

im used to weighted action too cuz i learned to play piano on my old school's mini grand. that said, i found the nord lead 2x keyboard fairly comfortable and ive heard the keyboard on that is rubbish compared to the supernovas or the virus kbs. shrugs.

i agree on the oxygen8. same with the prodikeys - no action whatsoever. you can virtually punch the prodikeys and it'll make little difference to the sound over just applying a little gentle pressure. it feels really flimsy.
