Title of Instrument Access Virus C Synth(tabletop version) Price Paid / Price New: $1600/$1600 Year Manufactured: 2003-2004 Specs: Extensive. check them out here: http://www.access-music.de/specifications.php4?product=virusc Of note: 3 osc w/ massive modulation matrix and surround capabilities. Sound: 5/5 This thing sounds incredible, really awesome. The filters in it are parallel to any standalone unit. Of particular note is the ultra-high quality phaser, which is really world-class. Instrument Quality: 4/5. In general, the build quality is great on this synth, far more solid than the Nords. My only complaint is the external power supply pet peeve! and the fact the push-buttons are kinda shoddy feeling. Playbility: 4/5 While this synth does not have the most intuitive programming, it is really easy to put together great sounds quickly once you figure out the modulation matrix, and the signal flow. This synth really excells at two things: making big swishy pads, and making huge fatty electro zaps. You can coax some decent-sounding strings and piano sounds out of this synth, but it takes some doing. Also makes a decent snare hit, but forget about any other percussion sounds. Oh, and this synth can replicate the sound from Van Halen's 'JUMP' perfectly... not that I play that song.... especially not all the drat time.  Overall Value: 5/5 This synth was definately worth the money. As an effects and filter-box alone, this is worth the cash, but I've used pads and leads from this synth on almost every song I've made. This synth is a big black badass, and will never be leaving my studio.
