Newbie: Training/Tutorial resources for Virus T12

[SpencerSteel]

Hello there,

I will be getting my first Virus in a few weeks - a TI2 Keyboard - and I'm getting very excited.

This will be my first hardware synth and although I've been fooling around with softsynths for a while, I really need to sit down and 'learn' this one properly.

So, I have some questions ...

What resources are out there for specifically for Virus owners. Are there are good 'tutorial' websites with 'tips' types videos - have any books been released?. I imagine the official manual will be a heavy duty and a pretty unfriendly affair unless you're an expert. Anyone I should be following on YouTube etc?

Is this the main community site? Is this the best place to get questions answered etc. I am an active member of FL Studio forum and that's great and I'm hoping to find somewhere similiar specifically for my Virus issues. How is the main Access forum ... I guess you guys will be a bit biased, but i'll trust you to be honest

I really want to get the most out of my hardware synth and don't want to just end up using presets, so any resources that have helped a relative 'noob' would be great. I'm getting my head around subtractive synthethis using softsynths and I'm getting there but obviously each synth is specific and it's these specific Virus resources that I want to start hunting down.

Thanks for any pointers you have ... I'm getting very excited !
