I've tried, I swear to god I've tried. But, I just don't like The Virus anymore. I have a Virus B and I'm just not convinced by it anymore. I think its great for Trance and possibly Jungle. The Virus is amazing for pads but that's it! Ask it to do some housey sounding stuff like nice, warm keyboard type sounds and it fails in my book. I don't rate it for bass either!

"YOU FOOL" I hear you cry. "YOU'VE probably never tweaked a preset" I hear you mutter. Thing is I have delved deep into the virus but just can't come up with anything that sits in the mix.

I'm not some newbie either. I've had 10 house tracks out over 2.5 years. One even got played on Pete Tongs show on radio one, late last year.

I'm selling it this weekend. I'll just stick to soft synths from now on.

Goodbye Access - you were a waste of �800. See ya!

I'm not a "house" guy, so can you tell me what kind of sounds you're missing out on? If it's organ and electric piano sounds you're going for, pretty much any VA will do those with aplomb.

I have trouble getting my Nova NOT to sound like an organ or electric piano. Now, I know the virus is "harder" an' all that, but geez dude. Throw some Chorus or Leslie plugin on it and quit bitching. You know it's the "indian" and not the "arrow".

Yeah, i been drinking, so what? Why do I even read these forums??

or better yet, why not make something house-LIKE, but with fresh/weird sounds instead of the usual cliches?

a month or two ago i heard a few tracks off [some dude from montreal]'s album, ALL tracks made using ONLY tiny snippets (<1sec) from random radio stations, and -- it was REALLY good. like, good, groovin music. very catchy, not pretentious, and new/good.

it wasn't typical house, but it would definitely get played at house-playing places.

What on earth do you lot know about house music?

I mean, I bet nobody here on this post could list some current "up-to-date", "cutting edge" house producers.

Carry on with your trance and jungle music.

I know that an Osc generates a waveform that gets shaped by a filter that gets passed through an amplitude envelope.

As I said, I'm just too god damn organic, man!

ps - all trolls hate trance.
