If they want to appeal to the Dubstep producers (even more) they should really bring more flexibility to the LFO section, allowing user drawn waves, and stuff like that. Same as you find on Massive - which made it a winner for mad modulation of all kinds. Then why stop there, and not allow users to draw waves for OSC section as well, same as you find on Zebra.
Not that I am bemoaning the Virus whatsoever, BUT, when working with the DSI MonoevolverKeyboard with it's FOUR freely routable LFO's to even ANY of the wavetable contents, VERY much akin to what waldorf Q can do as well, it simply makes me work harder (in a good way) with Virus's mod matrix, knowing do not have that freedom of more choices.
The Q also allows each of the two wavetables to be utilized AS two sub osc's which can ALSO be modulated by about anything you can think of.

I have a question regarding the Virus "64 Spectral Waves", as have not really dove deep with those as yet; what are some creative and utilitarian uses you have found for them AND inherent limitations of same, please? Also, are those Spectral Waves akin to what korg radias has seemingly same of and korg states they are PCM waves? (sorry about bad syntex) The Virus' spectral waves are obviously not wavetable and wondering if there's a chart I have missed showing each of those waves, rather than having to audition each one? Handful of questions and have been slowly reading through posts on forum years ago and am yet to get an answer of creative/useful ways of utilizing them. Thanks in advance for your experience and knowledge of all things Virii!
