That's one reason I felt a massive "step back" from the programming of Korg's MOSS synthesis (from 1995) to the Virus' architecture.
The MOSS has one dedicated Amp EG, and then four other fully-featured, extensive EGs with which you can assign to whatever you like.
Again, it also has four fully-featured and extensive LFOs to assign to whatever you like.
All EGs and LFOs have loads of additional modulation sources/destination, just too many to mention. You can chain LFOs and EGs together, letting them modulate and play off against each other, while being controlled further via the joystick, XY ribbon-controller, velocity, aftertouch,... you name it, and then assign them to almost anything you want.
Imagine the routing and modulation capabilities of Z3ta+, and that's about half the possibilities of MOSS.
The Virus is crippled in comparison. A lot of the architecture of the Virus seems just plain backward and restrictive ('fixed') to me. Very obtuse.
