I'm looking at picking up the Virus Powercore plug soon as possible but wondered what vsti's anyoen can mention that offer a good VSTi that can be used for analogue leads, something fat and beefy like monster munch?

Virus is Virus, but you can find some pretty good VSTs, too. From top of my head, Sylenth1, NI Massive, Minimonsta, ImpOscar, CV80, disco DSP Discovery, etc...
my guess would be rgc audio z3ta. thats what i pretty much always use on leads.
I can personally vouch for Sylenth 1 :)
I use the z3ta through the D16 audio devestor (which is the sweetest distortion vst i have ever had) and that sound pretty fat. x
disco dsp discovery pro.
you can even use the virus soundsets in it.
NI Massive is one of the few softsynths ive found with the kind of fatness that a virus has. Still not perfect, but a very good softsynth.
Sylenth 1 and Disco DSP Discovery Pro all the way!

TONE2 Gladiator.
Absolutley AMAZING!
sorry ill have to disagree there.Quote:

I know agree with you. And you know what, when you all talked about sylenth 1 I thought you were mis-spelling synth 1 HAHAHHAHAQuote:

Canne Wait!!!!
Just checked out Sylenth 1. Very nice indeed.
vanguard al the way if you want trancy sounds mate i love that vst dude very fat indeed . closest thing i can think of for virus sounds mate.
Sonic syndicate scorpion is also good for nord lead sounds
Hey mate have to disagree with you there, though I once loved vanguard I think it sounds very hollow and weak in comparison to some other vsts !Quote:

just got the sylenth 1 - wow - the sounds that come out of thing are sweet
the z3ta+ virus mod!
Take a normal synth, and add a big bass boost, excitement and widening?
Much of the virus "sound" is supposedly in the signal chain it goes through before it comes out the box, not so much in the synth design itself.

Virus Powercore is notorious to be buggy on the Powercore DSP platform.
Give NI Massive a try, I was quite impressed with the sounds coming out of that
I really like Surge. Great for anything bass, pads, stabs.
Definitely. And most of the patches are relatively dry, so it's easier to get them to blend/sit in your mix (using bus effects instead of the effects in the synth.)Quote:
