personally I find the stretching on alot of the samples Ive messed with to not have the richness that the virus has... maybe Im not exploring the instrument like I should, I initially bought it because it could do UNBELIEVABLE sonic acrobatics... the trouble is the samples seem to lose alot of their fidelity when warped to extremes.
I found that I could just dial up two sine waves on the virus, throw a little detune, full subosc triangle wave, some rectifying distortion, resonance around 50-65, and I could wonders with crazy bass lines and cutoff patched to the modwheel or aftertouch. The Vsynth doesnt seem that simple to program. Perhaps I am just approaching it in the wrong way.
Is there any place you could recommend me to that would give good pointers on programming the V-synth. I havent found the VTribe site to be that informative. Maybe I should just sample my virus at 15 different positions and keymap that on my V-synth?
Are there any places to find good patches that I could dissect? Or are there any ways which you guys have found that you could program the V-synth and get pleasing results? Any advice would really be appreciated, because, trust me, I paid a decent amount for this puppy, I BETTER DAMN USE IT!
Oh, and Hollowcell, Ive used most drum and bass samples... I honestly dont know what I should use to sample if I wanted to do Lead sounds or other more traditional things. Im fairly new at the sampling thing, though Im fairly versed in using the Virus, I just find the V-synth to be a frustrating beast to get rich sounds that I can integrate alongside the more dark and thick sounds I get out of the Virus.
