just wondering if anyone had one of these? seriously thinking about getting one but i want to know whether its worth getting one of these ones, or saving up for one of the more expensive ti models?

if anyone has got one or used one would love to know what you think of it

i had one tbh myself i didnt like it reason just wasnt as fat as most other hardware synths i own buy the mirco korg.. u can run sample into it and use the lfo and the fliters ino its only like £220 or w.e it is now days but then atleast u got a bit more cash... sometimes look at the lower priced synths u get more for ur money plus get alot of cool stuff...

oh and if u got a few g's layin around buy the Andromeda A6 synthesizer the fucking best thing since sliced bread..

hahaha! that andromeda looks ridiculous! ill have a look at the micro korg man! cheers for the input!

Not sure/can't remember about the snow but you can process external sound with all the other Virusses.

Virus not sounding fat? ...


Have you looked into older virus models? I was saving up for a snow too but instead got an indigo from ebay for 500€. No need to tell that I'm loving it to death.

lol bruv trust me i have owned it and i dont like it ever other virus ive touched ive loved.

i got alot of hardware gear everythink form a sp1200 right down to a minimoog voyager i own 3 virus's and i sold my snow 2 weeks after buying it when i mean it doesnt sound fat i mean like i use alot of outboard gear.. and that just wasnt up to par

but if u wanna buy it do so and i hope u enjoy it and have many hours of fun but its not for me

Nah man. I'm not looking to buy one. In fact, it's good to hear your opinions on the snow, it's easing my post decision dissonance.

I just thought that all the virusses apart from model A should sound quite the same.

tbh with yes. but i dont no somethink about it just wasnt me sayin that if i bought it again id probs love it

I had a TI for a weekend and it went straight back.

Have a look at the Waldorf Blofeld

Go to a store and test drive a few

that blofeld looks redonkulous! the main reason i wanted the virus was the plug in interface that it uses, and how easily it can be integrated instead of having to record the audio in, can u do that with the blofeld?

Well thats exaclty why I sent the virus ti, The plugin itergration just didnt work. Massive latency problems and midi timing issues that would not work. Lots of stuff.

ALSO, you can only have one instance of the plugin i think!!! And use it multi timbrel for all the sounds. Which is shit.

The blofeld looks phatt but its not a plugin.

got a virus c, lovely synth...pain in the arse for wobbling though lfo's a bit long to config

how does it work alongside your daw then?? i see it has a usb connector! sorry for the stupid questions but im a noob when it comes to all this stuff man!

I have a virus ti snow and i think it is awesome.

Sounds fat as to me...

same sound engine as its big brothers just not as many voices but still has heaps.

I can recommend it

Im guessing that the usb could be for midi and the analog outputs for the audio.

To be honest, if your that new to production I would just get a couple of softsynths. I can personally recommend the following:

Korg legacy analog edition
Rob Papen Blue.
Albino 3
Z3ta
Mini Monsta
Kontakt 3

You could buy all these for the price of a hardware virus (and yes, they are as good!)



Also, if you got money to spend I would look at a UAD card and buy some neve / roland / spl plugins for it.

yeah man got some of those already, cheers for the suggestions man ill check the ones i dont know out for definite, not new to production, just new to hardware, so dont have a clue about hardware synths, but got a bit of money at the moment and wanna spend it on some hardware before i waste it on lager ahaha!!!

lol. Fair enough! Well, If you dont alreay own any UAD cards I would just go and buy them now mate. some of the plugins you get for UAD are amazing.

Ive used quite a few harware synths and can do anything with software really. If i want to use say, a sine sub bass from a analog synth I will use a sample in kontakt,

But yeah, check out some of those softsynths you aint got and get a UAD card
