This is ignorant, I don´t know about the MS2000 and effects but there most
certainly is _not_ much effects with i.ex the Virus synth and certainly not
the way you describe... it´s a "regular" delay and chorus which you can
easily turn off... does nothing more good/worse to a sound than outboard
delay/chorus effects does to your analog beats.

Well guess we need to than mr Einstein first then?.... seriously... What did
Moog/Roland/ARP/name-a-company do in the 70/80´s ??? they copied and stole
ideas from each other all the time.... what direction did they go?... None
of the companies stayed in the analog domain... digital where the results.
Don´t get me wrong because I truely love analog synths but the VA´s do
compete these day´s.

Only Analog can do?... go check out a few of the more known VA´s today and
I´m sure you will agree that (no matter if interface sux) you will go back
on that opinion.

I don´t agree... I think a few VA´s allready does things better than the
analogs (in the same class that is).
