The COSM based amps and speakers on my VF1 sound better to my ears than the V-Synth's, so recently I tend to use the V-Synths COSM modules for filters and compression - I even put the Isolater/Filter combo in the FX section as well (I wish they had two of these in the regular COSM sections!!!). The amp stuff doesn't get a look in usually.

Hey if you're after an interesting multi FX Khazul, it may be worth your while to check out a Boss SE-70 as these have analogue distortions mixed with digital FX. I like them for sure and they can be picked up for very cheap these days. I do like the older analogue pedals too though - could be just getting old I guess.

For sure Khazul! Hit record occasionally and let us hear some of it.

Oh one contraption thats starting to look very interesting - at least from a guitarist perpective:




Someone posted a link to a video about this in another thread - looks alot of fun.

Currently Ive been trying to use my MD-UW for doing this kind of thing driving it from a MIDI foot controller board.

I really like the new UAD1 plugins: Roland Dimension D and Neve 1073 eq. I'm gonna purchase both of them. I don't know about new but my Dyn BM15's amaze me every day I listen to them. :D

yeah, I like the uad plugs so much that I bought 3 cards (would have bought a 4th, but ran out of pci slots). The biggest issue right now is that all new mobos are shipping with less pci slots and more pcie, so now i have to sell my uad1 pci cards and pick up the pcie versions.

Ugh - Im thinking of switching to a pci-e versions as well. Whihc that they sold a complete bare bones cheapr on tho puely for use an a second/third etc card!

I know that UA has some really good deals on making the switch to PCIe. If you take a look at their recent posting regarding the cross grade to pcie, it almost works out to be a push.

Wish UA made stuff for laptops (connected via Cardbuss/PCI-ExpressCard). I'd love one of their DSP cards hanging off my puter.

The only way I have seen laptop users use the uad cards is with the magma expansion chasis and a pcmcia connector (quite expensive)

Its really just a nice distortion I am after. For interesting multi-fx I have a TC fireworx which I got recently - was running my guitar though it for the first time this eve - think I just found a new genre of ultra trippy guitar based trance (!?!?) - my fingers are sore as hell and Im wondering where several hours went :)

I'm seriously thinking about selling my Virus since having the mpc2500. I'll probably replace the Virus with a midi keyboard and a computer audio interface. I've been taking sounds from a Paia Fatman and a Sound Lab Mini Synth.

The MPC has a great direct input feature that lets me immediately record sounds. It also has a autochromatic formula to tune samples. I'm moving towards more sampling. I think I can do more with samples. I started way back with an MPC anyway.
