Let me try to explain why I find this annoying with an example, will you follow me?
I like motorbikes. I enjoy riding. For some reason, I like dirt bikes more than regular touring or sports bikes. For some (stranger) reason, I buy a Yamaha R1. Then I go on an Internet forum and complain that Yamaha doesn't provide an off-road set of wheels and suspension settings.
What foundations are there to sustain my complaints? Why have I bought the bike in the first place if it wasn't made for the purpose I wanted?
Also, you did the right thing, you returned the synth and hopefully you got your money back. You're not on this board just to complain but also to show your suggestion that I'm sure many people appreciate. I don't see why you felt "accused" here apart for the earlier discussion that I intentionally left behind because I feel a bit of a language barrier preventing us from understanding each other (just like in the Dune thread).

I was mostly just having some fun on the last comment, I wouldn't visit forums at all if I didn't enjoy it.
I am actually one that doesn't appreciate incessant whining, either, but I do try to differentiate between constructive complaints and those who just like to bitch.
I've always considered the Virus a really interesting study in all of this, because on one hand it is such a beautiful and sought-after instrument in the world of synthesis, yet many folks experience with it seems to be kind of like having a high-maintenance, tempermental girlfriend with a perfect body that you can't really seem to just force yourself send packing for various reasons but can never get to do what you want her to. I accepted the Virus as a similar entity, and I keep coming back here looking for maturity in certain areas of the product so that I can hopefully re-kindle the relationship. So on one hand I don't like unwarranted whining but I can understand why, at the current price point vs. what's available in software based plugins, a lot of folks have expectations that are not met by Virus hardware.
