Is a Classic enough?
 

I have a Korg Triton Extreme and I want to team it up with a Virus. Will a Classic be enough given that it only has 24 voices?

I do house, progressive,deep house and chillout.

I would look at a C series for sure.....Prices are quite low, and I think u will get more from a C series Virus.

Im not too familiar with the B series, but I think the classic does not come with the Mini-Moog analogue filters, which absolutely rock!

I would say get a C series, but u may find that the Classic is sufficient for what you want to do.

Good luck with your choice, and remember, any Virus is better than No Virus ;)

Cheers,

I say buy a second hand C now!

The prices may go up once people realize the TIs are full of bugs. Better to get in early before the release I say. :wink:

Note* The above comments are written out of spite and jealousy. I do not have any idea about the stability of the TIs, nor do I care as I can not afford one anyway. :D

Nice disclaimer HC!

Spite and jealousy are emotions of paramount importance to human psychological health. :wink:

HAH!!!

second hand c's are rather cheap no that the new polar ti is out
you should try picking one of thos.

As long as you react on your spite and jealousy, then you are a healthy human being (mentaly). Keeping it all bottled up inside until you eventually break is a problem.

How many of you out there are dreaming of writting a malicious new OS for the TI owners to DL unaware, that will render their TIs completely useless? This is not healthy thinking. :D

Thanks for the input guys. I've been wanting to get a 2nd hand C but the only option I have is ebay which is quite riskly IMO. There's only a handful of sellers shipping worldwide and we don't have paypal in our country. :(

The reason why I wanted a Classic is I can get a b-stock from a legit online store....Hmmm, I think I will have to wait for the right opportunity for a C then.

Re: Is a Classic enough?
 

i have a 'classic' and also a C keyboard.

if you just want the 'virus sound', the classic will do just fine.
the c has a few more voices, eq per sound, the moog filter, and a couple other goodies.
but the classic has all the essentials, sounds VERY good, is available as a new unit (with warranty), and is a pretty good deal.
i'm pretty sure you'd be very happy with a classic.

Except when that virus is herpies 8O

I had the same considerations of a Classic or second hand B vs. a C. I ended up with buying a new C and i?m happy i did (except the fact that 3 months later they anounced the TI). Mostly because of the 32 voices (instead of 24) and the Moog filter. If you are going to have a lot of tracks with unison and the 3rd osc. in use i would go for the C (or even better if you can afford the TI).
