Best value: Excellent
Version without keypad (desktop). To report a bug exists across the board with the Virus TI OS 2.7 (last update): the MIDI In and Out are unstable. Owners of IT Desktop / Polar / Keyboard can reinstall version 2.5 for the MIDI ports are stable, not the owners of the SNOW. So until the next update, live in the south drive.

Connection of good quality despite the bug report above. Strong and effective audio connectors. Supply + external USB connectors. Virus Control mode everything goes through the USB MIDI messages, and even sync audio, and it gnial!

Sound banks are both varied and incredibly rich. A small lack of originality in sound dj Cerain heard everywhere, but a little fiddling, the multitude of tilt can be varied almost without limit types (I think of the oscillator is a new grain . The styles are trs Varis, every few minutes you can play the electro, trance, techno, hardstyle, and even the elctro-clash or glitch (blah, but some like). ditables All sounds are, half the sound is even and renregistrables effaables.

Obviously the Virus Control is the must ... no comment (see comments from other IT).

Amazing polyphony: 50 voices for 4 shares and is super modern. Each track is incredibly rich: it can push each track trs far, a lot of depth and prsence.

I put 9 / 10 and not the max rating because there are some bugs caused by the OS in beta: I&#39;m back for the beta versions but for the Snow we have no choice! Too bad for those who lack patience. I do not use that MAC may be the PC version is it more stable (that would be thundering). The main bug is the host to freeze the boot of a project (once started it is more stable) and the use of Soft Knobs (the 3 pots of rglage). The latter seems to bug disparatre when I put the pots in snap mode is the mode o knob is only active when he joined the current value, trs useful when g re 4 shares at the same time.

UTILIZATION

Gnrale simple configuration despite the impressive number of rglages. There are as many (see more) rglages as in previous versions, all in a small bote, at beginners Obviously we are a little skeptical ...

The edition of the sounds is very simple using the Virus Control, I have not had the courage to try a manual edition via 5 pots and tap the buttons, but I think that a good interface with a lot of pots will be faster if you want ncessaire CRER from scratch.

Manuel clear to the grip (with a few strokes of humor penss well, it&#39;s enjoyable when you start) you want by ds against the matriser bte manual is the only English and in PDF format, it&#39;s not a top. So I put that 8 / 10.

SOUNDS

The sounds are perfect my styles (electro, techno, trance), but I suspected. What surprised me though, is the incredible eclectic of bte: I will change almost every week history of style to go around!

Sounds are trsralistes in terms of pure synthse. The vocals are a bit of heat but as the virus is generally east of the synthetic TRS, we gain this kind of an ct l ism hyper hyper modern artificial (!)

Effects effective and of good quality. The reverb is not transcendent, but it dfend. The delay is of incredible precision (it&#39;s hard to return the soft APRS). Say anything about other, more correct than the whole.

The expression is the thing I was most bluff at first: this synth is rel! After months of searching for a dark groove and expressiveness in plugins coteux sometimes it was just the impression of playing in the same court.

I love the banks and Acid Arpeggiator presets containing trs trs motifs and expressive. The CATEGORY Drums is a bit poor, but APRS while there are machines for a.

OVERALL OPINION

I&#39;ve had two weeks, and since I sleep less, I work less, but I&#39;m happy.

What I like most: the size and despite the size and incredible performance, and re-enable the relevance of the three pots of rglage (the presets are great tudis in this sense) the expression trs drives sounds, VST interface which allows publishing and management of hyper sounds simple.

What I like least: the plugin only delivered in beta (but with two small bugs which disappear when used independently).

This is my first hardware synth, but I dj shelved most of my VST. So Obviously I do not regret at all.

Excellent qualitprix despite appearances: it is small, the number of pots and shares is much lower than in the desktop version or another, but the 50-voice polyphony me because what ultimately DCID are 16 parts so the polyphony does not play more than 4 instruments? When other synths of the same size on some forums you can read a comparative imbcilit hallucinating: THE FIRST COST you understand why it is 1100 and not 350!

I would do the same choice with closed eyes, her ample Access MRIT reputable, and this virus is a worthy successor to the previous version.
