Now I LOVE DIVA but unless you have a fast computer to bounce off parts it can be a frustrating workflow. Even in draft mode some pads can be CPU intensive. I told my wife to stay with her parents this weekend I'm getting diva and zebra Tonight:)  good move there! |

Yep there it is....didn't take long. My response to these daily threads from now on will be just buy a Virus and leave us alone..... Absolutely. Buy a Virus and then buy all the plugins...you wont miss out  Do you know how TI compares to Powercore. Are they close sound wise similar or different? ---- Mac pro 12 core,ULN8, 2 ULN2, 2 Uad Quad's, Access virus TI. And Oodles of useless samples |

I own the Poco Virus and it doesn't sound as good as DIVA. Poco Virus is very capable and has thousands of presets available for it but DIVA and a number of other contemporary native VA's sound better imo. I can't compare a hardware Virus as I don't own one. Based on DIVA's capabilities, the next gen of native VA synths will take authenticity far beyond what digital hardware synths can achieve currently. |

People who say stylenth can replace a virus must be talking about the pre TI days.
The TI series adds so freaking much. Sylenth cant come close to so many of the things it can do. The new oscilators (wave table, formant, granular) the speaker cab emu, the tape delay, the new choruses, the analog drift in the mod matrix, the new filters. The virus is one of a kind... it has that 'real' instrument quality that I've sought after. IMO its the perfect balance of crazy super synth and usablity. Diva is amazing also sound quality wise, and I think it probably edges out over the virus as far as pure virtual analog goes, but it doesn't come close to the amount of madness and weird timbres you can come up with on the virus. Strange thing is that with the extensive mod matrix of the Virus, I would say that you can actually come up with more organic patches than the diva. And one other thing, some one asked if the virus is good for ambient chillout, and for this application, I would say it has no equal. |

After doing some research and I'm not done yet, but from the looks of it I'm getting zebra diva and a ti.. They all sound amazing in their own way.. I figured everyone has their opinions about things, poco virus was good and I'm sure ti is just as good if not better. Realistically 7000 patches that comes with ti alone is worth the price of admition.. ---- Mac pro 12 core,ULN8, 2 ULN2, 2 Uad Quad's, Access virus TI. And Oodles of useless samples |

For "analog and fat sounding" the Virus is IMO the wrong option. There is always a very digital sound and I personally use the Virus because of this sound.
For the more analog stuff, you should try something like FXpansion DCAM Synthquad, U-He Diva. For some more features and quality VA sound NI Massive, U-He Zebra, Sylenth, Dune and some more. |
