Lol i feel your pain.

I'm still gazing forlornly at the JV1080/2080 XV5080 XP30 etc.

God knows why - I don't need them. Just fancy all those techno/hip-hop/house/horsesnorts 7 expansions.

It's not that bad. I do have a Juno 106, Akai Sampler, Virus Ti, Mopho, DB9, Nord Electro and various plug ins to be getting on with.

I shall bid you £400 for your Virus.

This is all about bargains after all

Politely declined... however, if they don't get those 64 bit drivers out soon, keep talking...

Please note - no Roland S&S synth, or Korg M1 plinky piano.

I've heard they're never doing 64 bit drivers.......

Out of interest do you/have you ever used the Virus as an audio interface? That's what I plan to do for the next several months until I build a dedicated space in the new place.

I've got a laptop, and have used the Virus as an interface when I couldn't be bothered dragging the main rack over to it.

I can honestly say I've never had an issue with it - it sounds great, minimal latency, and naturally you can use the Virus Control with it. Highly recommended.

Now 3.1 is out for the beast, they're concentrating on getting 64 Bit Drivers and Virus Control out. According to their own forum - that's the official line. At last.

Ah yes, aaahhhhhhh yes.

Feel comfortable in the fact that they are the Alfa Romeo of the synth world. You know you want one but the repair bills would be vast. And apartently support from Alesis is as non existent as that from Alfa!

Indeed, they just sound so god damn good man. IMO theres nowt out there to compare with either. prophet 08 is great but its not a filth monster like the andromeda. still £1800 and as you say maintenance
