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!

Ok, I can tell you some smokin house producer. Jaswho?

He's bad ass, and he plays it live.

Another cat on the serious up-and-coming is Bradelectro, and guess what? He uses a Virus, and...it's sounds like house to me.... Still, if this dude's not sure, then mybe he should look for a Fantom. I GUARANTEE he'll be able to find some sounds he can tweek to taste and make some house with. It's cool. Not my taste, but if easy house sounds are what he wants...there they are, and no bones about it.

i think this was a troll's post. no one who owns a virus and makes house music has any complaints about the virus. it's dope.

Never heard of Jaswho? Or Brad Electro. Very odd cos all the top house producers who's website's I visited (and who list their studio kitlist) DON'T list a virus. Now if we're talking about the Korg ms2000, that's a different matter. But no, for house (apart from pads) the virus doesn't work. Only my opinion though.
