Damn that synth has attitude.
I'm not disapointed in the trance thing that starts at 0:40 seconds or so, but I'm not all that excited for some reason. I kinda sounds a bit generic, I would have prefered to hear this dry to really see how clean this is supposed to sound!
Good job

the hoover sound is certainly not the most innovative sound ... well, it is a
hoover sound
the interesting bit is that there is not much effect on it at all. in fact it is the long release time that sounds like a reverb. recording it, i had so many voices to my disposal that for the first time playing a virus it felt like i didn't need to take polyphony into consideration at all.
it took 5 hrs to record all the demos. it was fun and inspiring. to be honest, much more fun than doing demos in the recent years because you can feel that something fundamentally has been added to the sound of the virus. i'm looking forward to do more demos and once we loads of sound designers on the case we will know how deep the rabbit hole really goes.
another eye opener i had with the production was the power of only
one of the new oscillators. there for instance is a belly pad which sounds perfectly cool and expected but after a short while another character adds to the sound. the bells are wavetables created by the first oscillator and the addition is a high passed very broad hypersaw that sounds so lush that i needed to check if it's really just one oscillator.
another cool thing that probably got lost within all that specs about the TI is that when you switch a patch and you hold the notes the TI actually plays the old patch as long as you hold the notes while new notes are being played with the new sound. and this goes for the FX (including reverb and delay) as well. the old patch continues to have its dedicated delay/reverb setting and does not interfere with the new sound at all
