Oh, almost forgot-one of the main reasons I bought the V-Synth: Its excellent vocoder!

But my Virus is my go-to weird-sound machine, and the V-Synth just kinda sits on the shelf until I decide to someday learn how to program it. It's actually a really capable machine if you listen to some of the custom patches people have made on YouTube. That said, it's not my favorite board since its presets all sound very V-Synth-ey, and again, I'm not too smart about using its rather deep UI to create my own sounds. Again, one guy said you can make similar sounds in software, but he said doing it on a V-Synth is just more fun. Many say that the V-Synth GT's effects can be replicated more easily by today's super soft-synths, but again, I'm not too swift at programming so that's why I'm keeping it.

That's why UVI's Synth Anthology 2 (my only soft-synth so far) is perfect for me-many of the best synths' signature sounds, expertly crafted by professional sound designers.

I'm not too savvy at programming so I rely a lot on presets and others' patches. Lots of "mean" and "scary" patches (as well as ethereal pads, but that's not what you buy a Virus for!). It's a great complement to any other sound-making machine since it can sound so different. It makes sounds no other synth does (or at least that I'm capable of getting). The original VirusTI is 90% of what's in a TI2 (the TI2's processor is only 25% faster), so I would highly recommend you checking one out since they go for anywhere from only $1,100-$1,500 on the used market. The Virus is sick (and so, aptly-named!). Would be interested to hear what you think of the Virus and V-Synth as I have always been interested in checking them out. Hey there, Derek! That's cool to hear, since I have a Kronos also and was worried that having that and a Montage was too much overlap, but I've always wanted a Motif so I'll finally have that and more in the Montage. I have a Montage 7 (bottom tier) and Kronos X61 (top tier) and they go very well together. Wow! You guys have an eclectic bunch of synths! I guess I would expect nothing less of Montage owners!
