ive been messing with my mates new Virus... and it burns any software out there in terms of sound!! it functions as an external distortion/filtering system... and works as a VST viz the USB interface.. I have nearly every decent VST under the sun and nothing sounds this good!!

drum machines then again... i havnt tried the new audiorealism one... but for pure sound... Jomox Xbase series, and pure functionality, elektron machinedrum... wipe the floor IMO...

as i said sorry to bring this up ...but im convinced the as far as pure sound quality goes.... hardware all the way!!

this is of course only for my tastes..software enthusiasts do your thing!!1:cheese:
I dont agree

esp in the case of the virus - its a piece of hardware that runs software, and if its the new one it has a usb interface as well...
