Greetings all..

I know this sub-forum has been abandoned for quite some time now. Sheesh.

Anyways, I was looking to start up again making ambient-ish music using a one trick pony synthesizer...well..in that sort of thing. I have a midi controller keyboard now, and a laptop for sequencing...My question is such: does anyone have any links or demos of the Virus doing softer sounds? Everytime I hear the Virus in use, it seems that it is doing some sort of angry psy-trance or fuzzy trance sounds. I use to have an 'A' and a 'B', but I mostly used it for rough, massive leads and bass. I'm particularly interested in the Virus because it has up to 24 voices of polyphony and 16 parts..My other option was the Novation Nova, but that has 12 voices, and 6 parts only. I was hoping to do Analogue style drums and everything else on this one piece until I master or get better at what I do, then expand into something else...

Thanks!
Jimmy

isnt the Virus like alot of synths tho?... in that peole tend to work with the flter at a certain angle to produce an average volume, but if you roll the filter off and increase volume, you get softer sounds, but you gotta be careful of the main volume if you then crank the filter up

I've always found the saturation to be very useful on the virus for warm sounds (set to soft or medium), and definately keep the filter resonance down, as it's a very hard sounding filter.
