*The Virus is alot more authentic sounding then a N3. The Virus is warmer, fatter, darker and more flexible. Dont get me wrong, the N3 is an ok synth.....but it just lacked personality. I think 'bright' sounding VA's are perhaps the most digital sounding. It just depends what you prefer...
Virus = warm, dark and moody
Nord 3 = bright and digitized
*Build quality of the Virus is
far superior. I dont like light materials....there not so robust. Keyboard action of Virus KB, KC, TI cannot be beaten. Knobs and buttons very good too.
*The Virus has more personality.....i.e its more recognisble. I just found the Nord 3 to be a little nothingness. FOr ?1300+ I want a synth with a trademark tone.
If you ever get the chance to comapre a N3 toa VIrus...you'll see what I mean!
