Value For Money : Correct
For features prcises I invite you see news announcement or product details, here or on the Access Music website;)

From this point of view of course, I put 10 out of 10!

16 shares, sync, USB, integration, is the ca ...

UTILIZATION

V I note the use in my context, say, home studio use, branch control via USB and Logic Studio.

Pass the first that I regret that there are two separate output (Stereo) USB, I had a rather bad surprise, the sound that comes out of the USB output is incredibly low, this is obviously to be able to mix 16 shares at the same time ....

More and use VC there are 2 volume settings to change: that of the useful part and that of the preset, one is not accessible directly from the synth as the other shift + attack by the amp. approx. short, not great practice, I prfr one adjustable controllable by the master level at the top left ...

It&#39;s not top c already, frankly, would have had power sequencer and go at least 4 Stereo outputs to take advantage of the really quite multi timbral switch FW adat or why not!

Well this problem is half solved by coupling outputs and USB Audio Outputs t but it would easier to do it all in the same way because you end up with tracks that multiplies, not the same gain settings. .. In short it is a shame ...

Then move to the use virus control mode:

This is obviously fantastic clarity and readability in simplicity ....

Someone who does not like to get their hands dirty is Racker&#39;s the virus and then use only the plug, we must admit that top c.

But for me the real advantages of VC include:

* The management of presets: Classification, Archiving, Rename, Backup
* The advanced functions like going to change the number of poles of a filter or select the audio outputs
* The automation classes by their real name, a real orgasm!

Otherwise, I think bcp easier, and quickly change sounds via the physical interface of the virus.

When I fiddle with a preset and I want to make it sound like I want with my hands I change the envelopes, filters and effects in 20 seconds, the preset I think it&#39;s longer, and then to test and make it sound a filter when c even easier to slide a touch a button with a mouse, touch brings that little something that will never replace plug ...

Finally biensur functions in addition we will not complain, it&#39;s just not super good c ...

As for the rest: arpeggiator, sync, latency it works just the hair;)

Simply put I put 8 / 10:

Features:

- Virus Control for managing presets, the publishing grows, automation, latency (we forgotten what it is) ...
- Simple configuration after reading the manual
- Complete manual in French, Songs Demos, installation tutorial, programming tutorial, really can not ask for more!

Weaknesses:

The multi timbral background is not workable, even if one uses only 2 synths via USB output level is not strong enough and it&#39;s embarrassing to the point of view mixing ...

SOUNDS

- The sounds they agree your style of music?

Electro / house: Well yes biensur, the I think everyone agrees, the sounds are deadly ....

It is important not to rely on presets, Transy death and blind effects.
This crazy synth has resources and be limited to preset it using only 10% of the potential of the beast!

- Are they ralistes?

I do not know I&#39;m not trying to replicate conventional instruments

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

I think we can say that yes, although I prfere use my sequencer effects that are more pousss bcp can already do things with the effects of viruses that are truly editable wish, and it quickly Virus Control via

- The expression is good? (Raction VLOC the aftertouch)?

It is enough for me because I did not consist of melodic shoots

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? ...

The ones I prfere are those of the presets that I change as often the effects are excessive utiliss and this distorts the sound that is admittedly deadly ...

The bass is deep and dense, ground fluid, powerful white noise ...

For all that is synthetic (I use it only for AC) is really the foot, a note that I believe the biggest asset of this virus is at its filters, then frankly, it &#39; is the best filters jai heard on a synth of this type (not analog):

It&#39;s size, ca slice, these are real razor blades that shape the sound of a really amazing way, one of the tricks to make it sound this virus is really to modulate the filter and make it live, c &#39; is truly the key to get alive and powerful.

From this point of view I put 10 out of 10, attention was not limited to presets and browse through the bowels of the beast to explore all oscillators, attention also to the effects that excessive utiliss make any sound look alike ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

2 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Pros:

- The look and feel
- The Virus Control, very useful for some things, less for others
- The joussif Its really, especially when one takes the time to program and explore the oscilloscope
- Filters: razor blades that give a unique texture

Cons:

- Multi timbral unusable
- Level of sound using USB

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I already have a home NR3 keyboard, I wanted qqchose more versatile and less typbr />
- How do you report qualitprix?

Excellent now because everything works, even if I pay by 16 and timbre that can only use 5 or 6 ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

I do not know how long it takes to have the experince on this synth probably more than two months, but I can say that for now I have no regrets and is very enthusiastic!

- Accuracy:

My virus was sequenced in Logic Studio with which I am faced no bugs either for latency, synchro, the arpgiateur or anything else, has to consider before to qualify this opinion;)
