Virus KB infected me firstly a year ago post-military medical disability and this week became inflicted with a deeper infection and added the Virus KC to my arsenal. I am hoping one morning will awake and the two of them will have spawned a brand new baby "Virus D" hanging from a midi cable! In the course of natural evolution, it would seem logical the use of the letter "D" would appear alongside her Ti giants...ahem.... hint, hint!
I wanted to add that adding the Virus KC was done with considerable critical thinking. Having already Virus KB, Waldorf: Blofeld Black keyboard, XT and MicroQ Omega racks, Novation Supernova 1, Korg Wavestation SR and Radias, Alesis: Ion, Fusion (for all the Hollow Sun sample banks), Micron, Roland SH32, Yamaha RM1X, and CSX2, DSI Evolver Desktop.
Had an opportunity to get an expanded Waldorf Q but invested on dedicated DAW desktop pc custom build for sound and video work instead. Plus, felt the Blofeld and Micro Q Omega (75 voice expansion) covered what I would gain with the Q; however, nothing hardware-wise has the Microwave XT crazy capabilities, so in my opinion the Virus KC offered enough differences in sound from the Virus KB for the atmospheric/ambient tracks working on. Sure, there's some overlap, but find the Virus KB to have a distinctly more aggressive sound but also alot of "analog-like" warmth, whereas the KC I find it to have save from better adjective, "coldness" in character, not to mention either Virus can be utilized at times to run other things through effects and filters.
Yes, once my confidence and knowledge of each instrument's interface is totally intuitive as to focus on experimental tracks, a soundcloud account WILL be set-up to share what is done from a post-military PTSD view-point! I have learned SO much in reading within this and a few other great forums and it's interesting how on other forums, the seemingly Virus-haters will have threads that go onward through years in arguments of why software easily does anything any Virus can...it's just history repeating itslef because remember when the angst was just as present between real analog and VA's or even differences between VCO and DCO's?
Just thought I'd explain how and why I added the second Virus.

Thank you! It's also a direct reflection that I do not extend resources in being a 'social butterfly' rather, after military career, less people and no guns...well, maybe a crossbow and ballbat for the occasional thuglet that may stray nearby. Then again, imagine some sounds from the Microwave XT could easily be weaponized to make a person's head explode!!
