Its true..
Those Virtual analogs are ok, but id rather take a nice sampler for sound design.
At its core the virus is only a multiple of an oscilator...
Basically its just a sample based synth where you cant change any of the samples...
If any one tells you any different he is a liar.. The Virtual analog jargon is is myth.. All it is, is a sample based synth with a few real time controls on it.
Id def take an EPS16+ any day over a virus. Reasons are..
1 more oscialators..
A virus may give you 70 +.. but an EPS16/ASR10 with it's resample feature can have as many oscilators as you like. So you can bundle a stack of 7 together and then bounce it.. reloop.. and there you go ..
Much fatter then a virus.. and far more unique souding.. as the eps16+ charecter is one of the best..
Also the EPS16+ has much better FX's then the virus as well.. I prefer them..
Big bonus is the massive learning curve involved to learn the EPS16 or the ASR10..
That keeps it nice and safe for the pro's......
..........While all you ametures Can only handle somthing if it has a big (k)nob to play with...
