Too Aggressive?

[absynth]

wavetables are sounds, if you could import your own wavetables, you could import any bred and butter sound like Piano, Pads, human voice or whatever and edit it with the virus

the more i´m thinking about this the idea is getting better and better

As I already said the virus is not only a Techno/Trance synth.....

What you have to know is, that the Virus is a synth and the word means, that you have synthetic sounds. You can have very good sounding instruments sounds like the piano, harp and so one but don't expect a realistic grand piano.

This means, that this is why you can't see in the virus a dedicated style or tone button. The Virus is not a workstation.

The good thing is, that in Virus Control you have a search engine so you can look up for sounds. You can type in bass an all the bass sound apears.

So, I am asking you; what kind of sounds do you want? Piano, violin, electric guitar etc. so the Virus is not the instument for you, go and have a look at a workstation (Roland Fantom X or G, Yamaha XS, KORG M3).

Those workstation have dedicated sounds (Tone, style) so you press one button and you get a realistic grand piano without tweaking or programming.

What I can say is go and have also a look to the ACCESS homepage:
http://www.accessmusic.de/page/rende...thesizers.html

There are some videos and sound examples maybe it will help you to decide if the Virus is a gear for you.

I don't know but I think the Virus won't suit you, you will spent a lot of money and get frustrated because ou won't get the sounds you need in a decent time to have fun. Just my 2cents.

If this post wasn't a help so give us more info about what you are looking for, maybe you also need other sounds than leadsounds.

Cheers

Thanks for taking time to write. I had the luxury of borrowing it from a good friend so I had the Virus for about a month on a production I did. I also have a Motif XS which is good for certain things like strings, but the sounds I want are GOOD SYNTH LEADS. The Yamaha Synth Lead sound are plastic sounding a bit.. not big and pure and clean like the Virus. The Virus tones are much much better... BUT sometimes Im looking for something a bit smoother. Im trying to find words to describe what I want..... Im thinking less aggressive or smoother. I guess its difficult to explain... but the synth lead sounds are the sounds I need.

Unfortunately not. I think it's unlikely we'll see it on TI|1. It was one of the first popular requests, and if Access could've implemented it they would have done so by now (in the last five years since TI|1 has been released).

why don't you download Native Instruments Absynth it may have some of the sounds you are looking for.

Timbaland uses a lot of VST's but the only reallll synth that I've seen or heard him play is the Roland SH-201 which is an so/so synth, but it's soooo awesome that it does not only sound like plastic, but a plastic bag from the super market and the reverb is so epic it sounds like your slamming metal sheets of shit together. Thats how much I think that keyboard sucks compared to anything else. Trust me all this "smooth" nonsense is not true, it's in your head. Kazy synthesizers need to be programmed to make a specific sound, so depending on how you program a synth will depend on how you want it to sound. If you feel the Virus TI is not "smooth" enough then just a buy a little casio, then you my friend will experience the awesome feeling of owning something of lesser integrity . Sorry if I am blunt about this, but the virus is smoother sounding than anyyyything else that I have seen on the market.

A wavetable isn't sample playback, it's something entirely different. The virus DOES have wavetable oscillators though lol.

but you do know that most of the stage pianos have wavetable synthesis?

the way its done can be compared with sampling

check this one on wiki how wavetable synthesis is done
