Reading this forum, seems that *every* Virus got some annoying problem, here or there. Since all the other hardware I got is Japanese made, are Japanese better in engineering and manufacturing instruments than good old Germans?
I wonder why Access releases stuff with trouble.

the warn mode was intended to work in multi mode only. in single mode, it appears obvious that storing a patch stores all changes, in multi mode you store the multi but not the changes possibly made to the single sounds.
if you clip a sound you have to turn it down, that's just the way it is.
the D/As used at this time don't have the specs available to D/A we use nowadays and i'm pretty sure that the equipment you've listed above has worse D/As than the ones in the virus rack.
as for bugs i think they are just a part of every software distribution. i won't start comparing but at least the synths you've listed above are not perfect either. the difference is: we (access) care about the bugs.
best, marc
