I posted a message earlier asking about a synth for strings and pads. After considering the advice I was given and after some serious thinking I have decided to go for either the Virus C or the SupernovaII Rack, as they can do alot more than strings and pads and I will make a hell of a lot of use out of them.

Now that it is comming to purchasing the synth I would like to know if any one has any advice as to which I should go for. I have tested the synths and found them both to be excellent. But I didn't like the Supernovas effects, and it's percussive sounds seemed a bit weak. The reverb sounds absolutely terrible. Nor did I like the Virus interface, in particular the way that you have to use the menu to access the third oscilator (ironic from a company called access) but the virus did sound bloody fantastic. The thing is, I only got about an hour to try them out so I have booked two hours with the shop to give them a good workout. Does any one have anything to tell me about either synth? Particularly, anything that I should look out for when testing them? Do either have any limitations that the other covers? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

Steve.

Aaaarrgh! I can't wait any longer! I was supposed to have bought one by now, but my damned savings account needs two weeks notice before withdrawl, and I completely forgot until I asked the bank teller to give me my money! Damn!

Patience is a bloody waste of time!

Regards.

Yeah, I returned your email but it was sent back to me saying "Failed returning message to sender". I appreciate the offer. I considered getting a Virus B as I could get it for less ��, but I am after a Virus C in particular. Mainly because you can access all the oscilators via the main interface and there are EQ's for each part and the Modulation Matrix is alot more comprehensive.

Thanks again.
