My interest in the N2 started back in summer 2000. I went into a music shop and had a play around on some keyboards......well the N2 was the first synth I ever touched/heard in the flesh. Since then Ive always wanted to get one. The truth is...im a little sick of waiting for synths to be released....and right now i have very itchy fingers. The Virus TI will be a nice synth sure......but I feel uneasy buying into the first couple of batches.
The N2X is a very nice synth. I like it for a number of reasons. Firstly, in my opinion it has the most satisfying unprocessed sound of any VA....and second....its quite a simple synth. Dont get me wrong....its very powerful in a versatile sense......but the truth is....sometimes when a synth is bristling with 101 features it becomes a headfuck. With the N2 you can make very good, useable sounds within a minute or two. With the Virus it def takes longer.....partly because your always tweaking the 101 available paramters lol.
Right now, I just need a versatile, simple polyphonic synth. As I say...the Virus Ti will be an end of summer purchase (by which time any problems will hopefully have been identified). Best of both worlds.
