sorry, i just started my new job on monday and they are grilling me :\ over the weekend ill see if i can get my shit together and see what i can do. i have already downloaded the midi file.
the virus can do pretty everything analoguey. but it is just especially good for pads because of the awesome modulation capabilities of the synth. it can do monster leads. although you need to spend alot more time and a bit more effort to get really cutting, bright leads ala nord out of it. its so possible though. look at what lab4 can do with 2 virus bs...the lead for 'candyman' is probably one of the hugggest instrument sounds in dance music.
ill bung in some of the presets too.
by the way, i have done some fairly accurate JP8000 supersaw clones, but as of this date, i havent been able to properly model the filter. this is because 1) i do not have access to a clean soundclip filter sweeping the supersaw oscillator with and without resonance. and 2) because i have not invested that much time in fucking with cutoff/resonance behaviour in the mod matrix.
is it possible to get really close to the JP filter? probably. increasingly with my virus b i just keep thinking the only 3 factors that prevent you from recreating or creating any sound imaginable is time, patience and knowledge of the instrument. that and a big dollop of post processing.
