Oh dear, looks like I've sparked yet another bizarre analog theories vs digital theories debate....
I never meant to compare the Virus with the LP, let me make that perfectly clear, They're COMPLETELY different instruments....
I'm pretty sure the difference we hear in various instruments is in their quality of build and design. It's crazy to say analog automatically sounds better. I once built an analog synth that proves my point (awful...)
There is a lot of evidence that the imperfections and random qualities of some good analog synths add to the quality of their sound. If that appeals to you....
And let's make the distinction again, It's what we HEAR that is important, regardless of if it's analog, digital, or built out of balsa wood and a nugget of plutonium. If you like it and can make a good sound, hooray!
The Little Phatty kicks ass. The Virus kicks ass. Lots of stuff kicks ass. You kick ass, A-fucken-men.
