Not to spoil your dinner, but the Virus TI produces up to 80 voices, and has a completely different DSP in it...... so sound comparison is no comparison, synthesizers between synthesizers are totally different sounding, different species. Trying to recreate a patch on the R3 with exactly the same Virus signature sound could simply be an impossible task depending on how in-depth a certain patch on the Virus can provide, for instance the R3 reverb sounds awful (as close as you can get to banging sheets of metal without actually physically doing it) just like the radias I had, and delay depth was so minimal compared to my SH-201. R3 Hypersaw recreations don't contain that booming sound, it sounds metallic and undefined. So really I would look at it like this, you get what you pay for, R3 = $600 vs. Virus TI = $3000. Really is there a comparison?
