The Virus TI is sweet for pads and atmosphere and effects. Not so easy to make grimey bass on it .. Virus B or C would do that better. I'm afraid I can't help you with anything else because thats all I've ever used!

Haha I bet you could mate, but you could make it in half the time on a B or C and bets are it would sound even grimeyaaar. This is just what i've found to be the case, not saying I'm right or wrong in this one. Waldorf.. I forgot about them! they make good synths. My mate has a micro Q i think and it was dirt cheap on ebay and makes the greatest atmospheric soundscapes imaginable.

I just youtubed it and yep it sounds badass. seems very good for textures, plus it looks sweet as hell aswell could it do leads and basses as well as it does pads? ..I spose its just a matter of fucking around with the oscillators right? I'd be tempted if i hadn't just quit my job haha. Hey, northern dawn, get the waldorf and a second hand virus B off ebay
