Cheers rEalm ... I'm gonna downlaod as soon as I get out of work.
Just noticed there are 3 new banks since the last time I looked. 
So you are using the Virus C then? 

>>>Yeah, I have a KC. If you have the B series, the patches I made might 
not sound right, as I use the new Moog filter and the EQ's on a lot of 
patches.  It'll still load, just might not sound as intended. <<<

I have owned a "b" for a few years now and was seriously considering 
taking a big financial hit and trading it in for an Indigo 2.  Mostly for 
the sexy looks, but do you think the sonic improvements are worth the 
trouble?

>>>Well, sonically there it no difference at all, at least in terms of 
sound quality.  The C adds the 3 extra mod slots, new Moog filter type, 
and the 3 band EQ.  Out of all of those, I use the EQ probably the most, 
and the extra mod slots the least.  Personally, I would wait for their 
next version D if I was you.  The C's have been out awhile, so probably 
not too much longer. <<

I keep wishing Access would come up with a Indigo type synth with a simple 
built-in 303 style step sequencer for every part so I can noodle around 
with the thing while relaxing on my couch etc., without having a PC or 
XL-7 driving it. Knowing my luck, I'll ditch the "b", buy an Indigo 2 and 
the next week Access will anounce the Virus D with said sequencer.

>>>Yeah, that's a lot of people's fear, buying gear that becomes outdated 
the next day. But really, you can play that game forever, better to just 
get something and be happy about it, and not worry about if it's the 
latest and supposedly 'greatest'. :) <<<
