But it's still quite expensive.. Anyway, i've been told that this one is a must have. More bolder statements i heard: every tune that's gonna be released by top producers would make use of this synth. So anyway, i'm still doubting... Anyone has some experience with this one? True that you can't get a plugin to sound like this? 13-04-2004 11:24 Surya The Robot Registration Date: 04-11-2002 Posts: 11,238 Helpfulness rating:  Not sure if you can't make anything sound like this or if EVERY pro track has it in it, but it sure sounds superb! Would have one if I had the money, that's for sure! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 13-04-2004 12:22 wicked_wayz Cool Producer Registration Date: 19-03-2004 Posts: 194 Helpfulness rating:  any info on compatibility with fruityloops? if i'm correct, it's not vst, but dxi. and fruity did have some trouble with this...in my experience (still doesn't except my soundforge effects , although on my older pc it did work...) 13-04-2004 15:06 -J- Big Bad Battyman Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 1,043 Helpfulness rating:  it works well in any descent midi sequencer (which excludes FL ) we have it at home, and i gotta say it's the shit of the shit of the shit buy it man, you'd be an idiot not to ... __ It's a spiritual thing ! 13-04-2004 19:29 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  It's one of the fattest sounding synths available today. I think even the new price is worth the cash, so if you can get it second hand go for it!! If you want to keep using fruity loops you will have to record loops and import them into FL. But if you are now going hardware it's a good opportunity to change from FL to a more sophisticated program such as Cubase or Logic __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

Yes, like I said, you have to record it and then you can use the recorded loops in fruity. quote: Originally posted by wicked_wayz btw: turns out it's a Virus B Rack, the rack basicaly does the same as the synth, or not? The Virus B Rack IS a synth If you want to compare it to the 'real' virus as opposed to the 'rack' virus it's not easy, since there have been THIRTEEN VERSIONS of this synth since it came out (!!!!!) Check out the comparison chart here ) BTW all the virus synths sound great!!! The first one was already mindblowing, and the most recent ones (like the Virus Indigo II) are incredible __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.
