i havent used a triton im pretty sure its basically a big sampler - so in effect each different patch (or sound) you hear is a well recorded sample that gets played back when you press the keys (the sample's pitch will be determined by the note you play.

the virus is not a sampler as such, it is a virtual analog modelling synthesiser. The virus generates sound, as opposed to just triggering a sample. Through the process of synthesis it is possible to mimic real instruments, however it is a much more complex process than what i think you are used to with the triton.

Yes. But I think you would end up controlling the triton with the virus

if you really need sampled instrument sounds then buy some sample cds, or better still learn to play an instrument (or befriend someone who already can)

My suggestion - if you really have to sell the triton to get the TI - I say do it. You wont be dissappointed [/quote]
