I know it will be hard to do it, because it sounds very complicated. I tried many times, but without any satisfying effects.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-QPvffO1gs

Ps. I strongly recommend this song for synth-crazy people, such as it is a really well-produced and great sounding song, filled with nice, analog synths.

Thx !
hey there - you got a good taste in music!

The video is not avaliable here,
but I guess you mean the main theme lead sound.
As far as I can hear it is made with a Wavestation + internal + external effects, layered with a Korg Trinity.
How to reproduce that with a virus... I can try to dial something like this up tonight, but I guess a square sync sound will make a good start. The metallic overtone shift can only be done by wave sequencing (or a wavetable drift, if your Virus has wavetables).
Or you go and buy the fabulous wavestation plugin from Korg and dial in sound 4 "mini lead" or the sound no.4 on another bank that I just don't have in my head right now, it's quite a famous Dave Smith sound also availabe on the Prophet VS
