You should get a C

[Hollowcell]

Did you end up trying the Nords since then? If so what did you think?

[jasedee]

I reckon the Virus is a much more aggressive synth than the nord....Actually, more EVIL! The nord has aggressive acid leads...but yeah, the Virus is just plain EVIL. Perfect for Gabber/Hardcore

[Nightstorm]

yeah i bought a nord rack 1

i like it, i think that the nord plus a virus is a perfect combination (i'm anxious to put the nord through the input of the virus )

[Nightstorm]

i do think btw the nord is agressive in a somewhat different way than the virus...the virus has more posibilities to make an agressive sound, but it has this nice edge to everything that i got out of it...the nord has a more raw sound, pretty thin but cool...just a very typical sound...i do like to use some distortion on it, that's where the virus comes in real handy and to fill it up with warmer sounds

[Hollowcell]

I think the Nord can pump out very raw sounding leads indeed. I'd say hard metalic FM leads are much more aggresive on the Nord, but the Virus can do dark and eary much better.

They do compliment each other well though IMO.

I experimented alot running the nord through the VC actually. If you wanna hear some, go to the soundclick link in my signature. Or better still plug your Nord into your Virus. Hehehe

Yeah sounds cool, pretty dark, raw, I like it

I'll plug my Nord in tomorrow, cause that's when I'm getting my Virus

Nice. Have fun with it Nightstorm.

[Nightstorm]

just got it...675 euro, including a rackmounting kit and it looks brand new

but I'm a bit tired now so I'll experiment tomorrow

[Nightstorm]

I've been playing around with it for 2 days now and damn this thing kicks serious ass

not only does it real good hardcoresounds itself, with my nord in the external input I get real dirty strange freaky sounds, just what i was looking for

and i just made one of my best hardcorekicks ever with it, straight from the box

i'm in love
