The JV1080 is a "rompler" synth which is a different animal than the Virus. As you know, it sounds great when it is doing what it does best - playing back samples in ROM, doing bells, strings, pianos, etc. I have several expansion cards for the JV, the best being the Session card, which has nice pianos, acoustic guitars, winds, etc. I also have the drum/bass card, and while the drums are mediocre, the basses (electric, slap, fretless, etc.) are awesome. I also have the vintage synth card, which is horrible compared to the Virus.
I think the two sound great together, but only when the JV is NOT being used for vintage/analog type sounds, which the Virus handles spectacularly.

Thanks. I also have saome expansion cards...world, dance, hip-hop and techno......
Funny as I began to dislike the REASON "sound" I broke out the jv and got a kick out of the rich bass.........and now a virus to add.
The jv has a great array of sounds great for commercial work, retro......
