Virus for acid?
Would the Virus ever be capable of making these sorts of gutsy, really fat acid lines?
Asys1
Asys2
303-esque
Why does the basic 303 type sound sound so great, being just a monophonic, single-oscillator? Pitch-accents and programming aside, are the Virus filters just not fat enough?
In addition, what sort of distortion boxes (hardware or software) are good to use to get the above types of sounds?

the TB filter has a unique color i belive,the virus cant emulate it so accuratly not because its not fat enough but because its just not a tb.

1 analog oscilator sounds fatter and more 'alive' than a digitally created virtual oscilator...
The TB303 apparently has a shitty analog filter on it (possibly one of the worst ever designed) yet it is adored by alot of people.

Well, I have the roland MC307 and it does GREAT 303 emulations, the thing about the 303 is mostly its very aggressive resonance on the filters (not shitty as stated above, just aggressive instead of smooth). Most roland filters (excluding 8000. 8080) still have these filters. You should check out MC series (wouldn't go with mc303 since that didn't sound good to my ears).
Good luck, and btw nice acid clips!

The MC series is sampled based (except the little mc202 beast),
That might be the reason for the tb like sound your talking about.
your should try Audiorealism's Bassline vsti plugin.

Which is probably what those acid samples came from

no ... you can't really believe that, can you ?
MC307 is a good groovebox, a nice small sequencer - but no good 303 emulation, NEVER !
back to topic:
we are using a real analog TB303, with additional sub-basses from the Virus ... with amazing results, sounds evil, great in one word acidciting - i'll drop you some samples in some days
