Well I was having a particularly bad day when I said those things....but I still stand by those sentiments....in my opinion they are fundementally true....
Let me set the record straight. The Virus is a fine synth if you have about 3 other keyboards covering different duties. The Virus' strongest point is its ability to create nice evloving pads/soundscapes/fx. Apart from that...I have no other use for it - hence my opinion that it was an expensive mistake (given the shitty resale value). Honestly at one point I was thinking of picking up the 'Atmosphere' softsynth and using a couple of analog mono's and be done with it. Here, check out this atmosphere demo
