Hostilio,
Interesting tale. I also think a built in effects generator is a definite necessity to the virus creative process, not just the generator but the modulation options as well. A few years ago when I lusted over VA's I never had the chance to play with, I contemplated buying a 2x, had no idea it had no internal effects. If you don't mind me asking, what was your reason for selling the NL3? Was watching some 2x vids on pubetube, I'd like to have a solid experiment with one some day.
Regards,
Jayson

THis does seem to have an effect on the kind of sounds you make, rather than simply using an effect plugin on a dry sound. I was choosing between a nord lead 3, or a virus c at the time, and thought that not having effects built in doesnt matter, because i could just add the plugins over the top, But once I got the virus, i realised how much having them on the thing effects the sounds you make (just my opinion). The nord 3 was a bit sexier though, and was a lot of fun to make sounds with. I just think you can probably do a lot more with the virus aswell, it's much more in-depth. I don't have much experiance though, so what I say could be wrong. I own a virus TI desktop, and think the Virus control funcion is also extremely usefull, as it saves you having to bounce down audio, and saving sounds is easier.
