Virus good for trance Music?

[Timo]

You're welcome.

My idea is i want to get some kind of Access Keyboard, preferably with larger keyboard than the Indigo 2 but not really with weighted keys.

The only Access Virus keyboards that are larger than the Virus Indigo (above left) and Virus TI Polar (above right), are those that have 61 keys:-


Virus C KB (Virus C series)


Virus TI KB (Virus TI series)


Virus TI2 KB (Virus TI2 series)

I just want to know if those sounds will go onto an Access Virus indigo 2 or will i have to get a newer keyboard and if those sounds don't go through a keyboard would i have to get one of those Virus A, B, C or Ti. On there it sais something like the Ti doens't load the sounds and something about wavetables. So basically ive got a budget of 1,500 and im fine with buying a keyboard now and then the Other part of the synth later. Keyboard is my main priority.

The Virus TI can do a lot more than the Virus C. The TI has 'hypersaw' (simulates many detuned saw-waves), wavetables, and a lot of other stuff that the Virus C can't do. Therefore any patches which were made using the TI that used hypersaw, wavetables, etc. the Virus C wouldn't be able to correctly use or emulate these.

However, as for what Virus C sounds like, and I know you like your Trance stuff:-

Incubation V2
Incubation V3

The above soundsets will all work with a Virus C, as that's what they were programmed on at the time. If you click on each of the soundsets and scroll down you will be able to hear MP3s of how they will sound. Manuel Schleis is behind Vengeance Sound. He's been supporting the Virus for many years.

He's also a music producer. Here's one of his recent productions (well, 2008):

Well I think im interested in the Indigo but isnt there a few models of them, like indigo 1 and 2 and they are older models that came out in like 2002. The first picture you posted looks like an updated version of the indigo, what year was it made in and do you think because its newer that its worth more money as aposed to if i would buy an older indigo 2? I mean the newer one looks better but its that just it, looks? or did they add more stuff into it.

Lastly about the ebay auction, if i buy the newer or older indigo can i just put the patches on there from Ebay or do i need one of those non keyboard synths like the A, B, C or Snow? I mean im looking at a budget of 1,500 like i said.
