Re: Difference between an XL7 and a vitual-analogue synthesizer?

2004-01-18 by realm619

Welcome to our group first of all!

I use both a Virus C and the XL-7 as my main synths.  The main 
difference is just the pure sound they make, vastly different, but 
neither is better than the other.  The Virus C has a much rawer 
sound than the XL-7, which sounds more polished to me.  No drums 
samples in the Virus either.  Rather than thinking one is better 
than the other, it's good for me to think of how well they 
complement each other, and make a nice mix.
