I was gonna buy a Virus but in the latest Future Music both Roland JP-8080, Novation Supernova and Korg MS2000 beats it.

No joke, I quote:

Although it has some powerful tools with stacks of waves and the dual filters actually getting the machine to do what you want is a daunting prospect.Often you find the results surprisingly wide of what you were after and the manual is frustatingly unhelpful.Sadly the interface and the corresponding literature need a rethink before the Virus b has any hope of outshining the others.

Access 7/10
Korg 8/10
Roland 9/10
Novation 9/10

what a fucking looser... that guy is an absolute idiot... we can see who's paying him the big bucks (you notice he never does a really bad review of any korg or roland product???) i got a virus recently and it was the most unique and user friendly instrument i had used in a long time, and ive got a lot of equipment... the virus was the most fun Ive had in a while.

Maybe he didn't even test out the synths he just looked at the ads and who his magizine wants to have pay for advertising.I imigine that access does come on the bottom if you look at it that way.

But they did give the microwave2 the 3rd best synth in the gear awards for the 90's.

Newbie or not, the interface of the virus is no more or less confusing than that of the others. In fact I find the Nova's interface to be more difficult to deal with. For basic sound creation, all you need to know about the virus is on the front panel.

I learned to program on a Virus. Start with the knobs and dive into the menus when you know what you're looking for It's a little more complex than a Nord, but much deeper too.

I suggest you head to your local mega-store and try some of them out. There's little difference in the interfaces, but a vast difference in sound between supernova & virus and the rest of those contenders.

we should all yield to the mighty power of FM, sell our VAs and analogues and buy a "classic" mc303. You know you want to. Do it now. Don`t hesitate.

i really don't understand how those guys get jobs like that... i fucking still mess my pants every time i turn my virus on... DAMN! and i've only got an a.

my personal theory is simple rivalry: novation - English. Good. access - German. Bad.
