They definitely take more time to get into than the HyperSaw, but are ultimately more rewarding, IMO.

Yeh well the hypersaw was the main nod to us trance heads

Start with 4 to the floor kicks, dial up a hypersaw, select level of abuse, and start banging out those trance stabs

Hypersaw does get alot more interesting when you dont use it as the prominent wave and use it to add background depth/richness to other sounds - IMHO.

There are plenty at http://www.access-music.de and if you watch the news section (same site), Ben Crosland was in an early video at an external site, sonicstate.com if I am not mistaken, where he shows the hyper-saw off (including the sub-osc's). There is a direct link in one of the news items.

There are also loads of patch demos at http://www.access-music.de as well. Very nice set from the "bright" and the "dark" side, I remember...

Enjoy!

Yeah, that "is that fat enough?"-video

I've seen it at least 50 times!
And those demos, I know them par coeur...

So I know the hypersaw quite well (the way it sounds), but I don't know how the other "fake" hypersaw sounds (simple saw with 8 unison)

There is a patch somewhere that is a 'fake' hypersaw. Not as rich, but probably more energy to it and more cutting.

Cant remember the patch name now, will see if I can find it later, something like 3 Saws or similar...? That ring a bell with anyone?

hmm, wouldn't you save about 20 times of the time by doing that patch on your own instead of searching for it?

hmm, I think it doesn't matter anymore, I decided for a Virus TI nevertheless. It's really frustrating to know that it will probably arrive in not less than two months, but I fell in love with it when I was auditionning it and I don't think that a Virus C would make me feel the same. The TI looks much better, that's the main reason...
