Virus is Virus, but you can find some pretty good VSTs, too. From top of my head, Sylenth1, NI Massive, Minimonsta, ImpOscar, CV80, disco DSP Discovery, etc...

I use the z3ta through the D16 audio devestor (which is the sweetest distortion vst i have ever had) and that sound pretty fat. x

NI Massive is one of the few softsynths ive found with the kind of fatness that a virus has. Still not perfect, but a very good softsynth.

Take a normal synth, and add a big bass boost, excitement and widening?
Much of the virus "sound" is supposedly in the signal chain it goes through before it comes out the box, not so much in the synth design itself.

Virus Powercore is notorious to be buggy on the Powercore DSP platform.
Give NI Massive a try, I was quite impressed with the sounds coming out of that

I really like Surge. Great for anything bass, pads, stabs.

Definitely. And most of the patches are relatively dry, so it's easier to get them to blend/sit in your mix (using bus effects instead of the effects in the synth.) Originally Posted by Electrictribe
