It's a balancing act - with hardware you have the advantage of offloading some of the CPU (always a precious resource) burden, but you have the disadvantage of things like latency and other workflow hassles.

See the Dune 2 thread if looking at Virus-competitor software instruments. Serum is a nice plug-in and I love the visualizations but I prefer Dune 2 overall for sound, workflow and performance. Every time I want to quickly reproduce a sound, I reach for Dune 2 first.

I'm not a huge Dune fan to be honest..
The "record and load any wavetable" Serum feature looks awesome btw

Interesting, I would have thought it would appeal to any Virus fan, but I guess some prefer Spire or Serum. You've tried Dune2 right? I just asked because you mentioned Dune without the qualifying "2" behind it. The original Dune is good but not in the same league as Dune2.
