I have a virus b but nothing to compare it to, hence my question.

I've been reading various stuff on the web about the Virus. People really praise the filters and talk about how good the Virus is for pads and leads.

However, they reckon that the bass making capabilities aren't that great. Apparently the bass patches lack a "certain warmth and low end" cos the Osc are only OK.

To be honest, as I've said, I've nothing to compare it to in depth. However, I can't seem to get that real thick housey bass sound with it. Probably just me though.

I've looked at a Pulse and SH101 and they sound cool. Am I over analysing again? :-)

Hey Knowa, cool track that! very "ninja tune" methinks. damn, why dont you hit us with some dancefloor stuff? i�m sure you could but you find this kinda stuff more interesting to do... anyway, respect.

and Drop, there�s tons of stuff you can do. from your post i think that you are trying to do to much at once without analysing the consequences of those actions.

ok, and a tip for the end: the other day i got a cool bass sound from my Q by ringmodulating a saw wave by triangle set one octave higher. only saw is routed to the mixer, and tri is used only as mod source. then lo cutoff on the filter etc, u know the deal...

Your sooo right Milan. I think I need to go back to basics on my virus. Maybe even pull the manual out again. The thing is I can blatantly program a good, grooving drum track. I suppose I'm getting impatient with not being able to complement it with an equally strong bass track. One day though! :-)

well I guess it was too late but I added that track last night.

I'm shocked, Drop, that you did not appreciate the obesity of the pulse's bass. you crazy. and I don't want to have your baby.

thanks a lot milan.

That's a shame Knowa, Ilove kids!:-)

Anyways, I can't listen to your track at work. Bloody security settings. Will tonight though.

I did listen to the pulse and agree that its great but I'd rather buy a MPX 200 with my �199 I think now and learn more and more and more about my virus.

This manual thing reminds me- mate of mine pointed out that you can patch sounds through the internal aux's using the vocoder or sumtin... hmmm, must go to toilet tonight and read manual.

Yes, you can take a patch and re-route it through another patch. Stack up filter types or process one sound with another.. I never really found a use for it myself, except for vocoding.

the range isn't longer -- we can only hear 20-20k. it's just more finely granulated...

like cutting a meter into 24 parts instead of 16 -- you don't end up with a longer length, but you can measure more finely.

or something.
