Characters

[Joey]

Ok so does anyone here actually use the 'characters' features on their virus?

I haven't really had a chance to delve into it since upgrading to OS3, but analog boost was something I never really used either.

So has anyone here made any great use of the characters yet?

Any findings as to how they can enhance the sound, besides working as simple EQs?

What vintage synths are access trying to emulate with the characters?

I assume minimoog has to be one of them, but what are the others? Arp? Jupiters? Oberheims?

There's not much to delve into. You just switch them on or off.

I think they sound great though. Definitely a nice addition to the feature set.

Character 1 Is The Moog, Character 2 Is The Ms-20, Character 3 Is The Juno.

where did you find this out?

and which moog? I'm assuming the minimoog, but character 3 definitely does not sound like a juno, I own a 106.

they just sound like EQ settings to me

what do they actually change ?

I never really understood what analog boost was. I assume it's basically an eq with a little distortion. It's pretty subtle, but I use the bass one on bass patches and it boosts the low end.
