the nord and nord modular are great. i prefer the modular (have the old version, but...) ive never really liked the plain nord. seems too simple.
you can still do stuff with the nord modular that you cant even do with the hardware equivalent of it. although slightly uninspiring to drag and drop modules, i can play with it for about an hour and get absolutely nothing musical out of it whatsoever!
compared to a virus, the nord is somewhat thinner and prettier, but if you funk it up, it can be more electronic and certainly do more esoteric kinds of patches (modular again). together, they fit nicely. neither is my desert island synth.
