Well i paid 799 Euros, must be over 950$ but from a german dealer. So your deal seems to be quite good.

It was very good condition like new, but second hand. He had a 12 months guarantee also.

I own a XL rack and this is a bit below the price I would want to get if selling - so looks like you've got a good deal there...

Yea think I got a good deal by all accounts,pretty sick piece of hardware to get started with.Think I'll be getting to grips with it for a bit but looking forward to it.Can anything go wrong with XL I should know about or that I can check before I hand over my cash.Pretty sure the type of peeps who own this type of gear would look after it.cheers for the quick response Virus crew.

Thats a good price...

I paid over AUD$3000 for my Virus RackXL probably 3 years ago.... I really wanna sell and get a desktop or KC but I probably wont get fekk all for the XL if I decide to sell

Can anyone give me a quick run down on the midi cables needed to make sure this unit will run, sorry if this sounds like a dumb question,I've been told it needs a certain midi cable to record in or something and can you use a midi>usb to hook it up to a computer without a midi in/out.cheers for helping this noob

jasedee · #9 11.08.2006, 09:25 AM

Just normal MIDI cables will do fine....

A USB MIDI interface is something you'll need though. Has MIDI in/out ports which the Virus connects to, and then connects to the computer via USB. Get something with at least 2 ins/outs...more if you can.

I can highly recommend MOTU MIDI interfaces... You'll want something compatible with your platform though (MAC OS or Windoze)

capital idea jase.

i use a motu ultralite and a motu microlite on my mac as a midi interface. serves me quite well.
