Hardware ... I would go 4 the Novation like herman said u can basically get anything out of it but I think the new series is even better than SN2..

I like the virus C aswell though I find that it sounds a bit 2 strong on the midrange freq.

I luv my Pulse + :) & yamaha Cs 15...

Software.. the new Moog Modular is a beast ... I'm also quite impressed by Jungelist and A1...
