The Nord is a totally different concept, well maybe not since it
is 'emulating' a modular synth. I wouldn't mind if Access gave it a
go as a new synth model though. :-)
Maybe the K-5000, Fizmo and, Microwave XT would fall in the non-
emulation category? (although, I guess the XT is based on the PPG)
Here's an example of why I like the Virus b. The track is
called "Precursor Legacy" and an excerpt from it can be found at:

in) is the Virus. Isn't that a nice unique sound? :-)
