Discovery filter is very inaccurate though. I bet Viper filters sound way much better when compared.

They have been compared on YouTube before, and as Adam has said himself the filter is about 90% accurate or higher. It is possible to attain higher accuracy but he deemed the performance hit to not be worth it. Besides, Viper is its own thing anyways.

I've seen them. But if I recall properly... weren't those comparisons using slightly different values? (although they sound basically the same)

And also now that you say it... maybe it would be a good idea adding a "high precision mode" like lots of plugins have.
So the user can decide if they prefer a more "classical" sound at the cost of some CPU usage.

I think the filter is where the biggest difference was (not much difference though, but slightly different) so maybe it's not a bad addition, even if it takes 2x more cpu, as long as it's optional.

Is there search opnnion in the preset folders? Maybe I just miss it some how?

There is no search option

They started out pretty inaccurate (but still good) and at some point he did an upgrade where they got much better. I compared it to my 2x and they were identical, except the aliasing on the hardware was noticeable. When I turned off the oversampling they were indistinguishable for the most part and the 2x went up for sale.

Well, this is what happened with Discovery. Not sure if they've made any significant changes since this was uploaded, but sounds really off

But I'd bet that Viper will sound way much better compared to its counterpart.
Anyways, I'd still love to see a "legacy mode" that matches the filter even closer, even if it takes extra cpu. Just in case.

Viper (& some other synths) do not give fine option for oscillators. How can you fine tune oscillator when no fine tune option?

You can use the Mod Matrix, Select "Constant 1%" and set it to "Osc 1 Pitch", or whichever Oscillator you want to fine tune.

I own a Virus TI2 and when controlling Viper from it, there have been times I didn't know which was what. I think the give away in most cases is the types of patches I have for my TI2, in the case of Viper, it's still more or less sounding very EDM at the moment, whereas with the TI it's patches are a complete Universe of patches.I do Ambient,ProgRock, R&B and HipHop so my tastes are everywhere...

The point here, is in the context of creating music, I doubt you'd be able to tell, unless you are very familiar with the specific Virus patches in general, and very used to the sound.

Best news of all is the fact Adam will be dedicating time for patch creation at some point, and this is very exciting, plus there's a possibility we may see VirusTI Import.

Grab Viper, it's worth more then the asking price!
