Alright alright alright everybody just calm down. Maybe the best way to get to the bottom of this whole pluckin' thing would be a little show and tell. I'm not with my virus right now, but later today when I have a chance I will record a few examples of my frustrations with trying to make plucks. For now though, here is a little clip I just made in Dune:

Im pretty sure you can download that even if you don't have a mediafire account, but if you guys have any problems I will upload it again another way.
So just to clarify- What is in question right now is NOT sound quality, not warmth, not body, not all the things that the virus OBVIOUSLY still has the upper hand on.
Fact of the matter is, I just clicked a random preset and effortlessly achieved a nice distinct pluck sound with ZERO tweaking. And that is my entire concern/confusion/case in point.
Like I said before, I BELIEVE that the virus can do anything...I am still fairly inexperienced with the thing, so I still have a lot to learn. It is just this strange quality of these plugins being able to excel at something seemingly so simple so quickly that has me scratching my head.
But enough talk, back to the point:
To those who say they can get some great pluck sounds with the TI series virus.....
let's hear em!
