If I understand correctly, the mod matrix in the Virus lets you route a knob or cc, LFO, envelope to a number of modulation points (including effects settings) or even use it to mod another mod. I don't recall if you can do math between them, but it's pretty useful for making new sounds.
The mods on the CS are part of what drew me to it. I've been looking for one forever and finally fell into one last week. I'm hoping to figure out how to get Proteum or Prodatum communicating with it so I can get a better understanding of the synths and effects.

Wow, wow, wow, this one could be an endless thread ;-)
And I have to say that some of your points - while valid - would demand a complete revamp of the architecture. Some of them, however, are quite valid:

Luckily never experienced it.

Oh, I would LOVE it. However... has anyone tried tricks like xmixing tracks from patterns of different lenghts? Or even better - xmixing tracks from patterns with different time signatures?
But my question stays open, so maybe another hint: have you found another synth with capabilities similaror equally powerful to modulation processors?
