Querying how to achieve certain effects and sounds are completely valid if they've done some ground work, like read/understand the manual, and that they're are polite/respectful. It's always interesting to talk about the synthesis side of things. The Virus is a complex synth, I'm still learning new techniques on mine and I've had it 5yrs or more.

Forums are a valuable learning tool for boosting knowledge and sharing ideas and wisdom. There's no obligation to post if you don't wish to.

I occasionally wish some people would read the manual though (not just here, but on all tech forums). It's not used for packing material!

It dosnt bother me, I like listening to the mp3s of the origonal sounds and the mp3s of the attempts to recreate them.
