I agree with you about the importance of the interface. Personally, I'd be happiest doing patch design/management in VC and then actually writing/playing the Virus tracks on another bit of gear.

I have the ESX-1 and happily accept its limitations (compared to a software equivalent) for the ease of use and tactile quality of it (as well as ease/speed of doing "live" improvisation on it). I've tried using it to sequence the Virus, but you're limited to single notes and can't sequence chords (or only two notes, if you use both keyboard parts). I understand the EMX-1 has more (5?) keyboard, parts so presumably if you weren't using them for sounds, you could use them to sequence up to five note chords on the Virus. Other than doing this, is there a way of getting it to sequence chords?

Thanks.
