HI there,
I've started this new thread for some opinions and advice for new technologies in analog sound modelling, there are many, but you have to choose the writw one for me, there are many like the VIRus, Supernove, WALdore, roland JP, korg MS, moog etc, which one is the best for trance, house , techno, HIphop i mean for everything, and the phatest one. U're Words Are Welcome

I have an ACCESS VIRUS B synthesizer and I have to say the sound is damn good and warm, deep and strong, perfect.
But I think for pure trance stuff, the NOVATION SUPERNOVA II RACK PRO X is the best thing you can get. I am not into trance much so i got the VIRUS B
the PRO X is expensive, get the normal SII RACK and upgrade later
take care!
read the other thread to, i posted info after you asked questions.
see you!
PLEASE HELP FP BY CLICKING ON THE  BUTTON

Thanks, but the virus B can also produce trance tunes, and i think the WALDROF Q is the nice one for every thing, it has 52 knobs for sund tweking ans many patterns for arrpigio and user. take a look at it at the http://www.vintagesynth.com > waldrof > Q, this is a cool one
I definitely go for the nord modular. Its really fantastic due to its superior sound, and the modular concept that really makes it infinite in versatility. You have an amount of control that no other synth gives you, and a top off that there are several thousand of presets available from the clavia website. - The thing is that all other non modular synth have limited routing, not the modular only your imagination sets the boundaries. Want to make a fat *** synth with 8 Oscillators, 4 filters each modulated by an lfo just do it!!!!

Ok,
The way of things to be in synth technology is SOFT!
Not HARD!
This has been a debate with me and MANO1, but I'm just
about ready to sell all of my external gear!
That's right. Soft-Synths Rule. If one does not float
your boat, there are 100 more you can give a try!
Ok...people have said, "Soft-Synth are not as PHAT as
hardware. You just can't get that warm sound!" That
may have a bit of truth, but its getting better all the
time.
I mean if I wrote this post 2 years ago, I would get
flame email for weeks. Now, I think music creators are
seeing that the future is SOFT!
Keep reading...I have many points and many levels of
depth to the topic. Example: The Virus B, currently
the virus a is simulated in software under the pro-tools
world. I've talked to the developers about the virus, and
they claim its almost identical?
How could this be? Its software. I mean I asked myself
this question the first time I checked out the specs. To
answer this question you don't have to look far, the hardware you just purchased. What is it? Its a small computer, and in the Virus example its a computer with a SINGLE DSP chip.
Well, a desktop computer is a computer, and the pro-tools
environment has MANY DSP chips, so just port the OS/software
that generates the sounds....BLAAAAM your done.
A Soft-Synth is Born.
What no DSP chips....ok....let the CPU do the work. Yes
kind of a downer, the computer does get really tied up
doing nice sound work. This brings up the NEXT step in
soft-synth technology.
Soundcards. Not your normal $99 soundblaster live (a
very good card don't get me wrong), but soundcards with
DSP chips onboard. PulsarII, Yamaha, etc.... It seems
like I see a new one each month!
So, what does DSP do for ya you ask....takes all the
synth processing time away from the CPU. Now you can
have dozens of soft-synth all working together LIVE! Ok,
you need lots of DSP chips, but the price will drop in
the near future....really....keep watching....
So...what is the best synth.
SOFT!
I do think its the future...
SWAIN:
I'll also have to agree on that, beside my modular i have got the pulsar soundcard, and a lot of vst plugins, and softsynth is definitely the future. Next month i am going to get the houston vst controller, to make all my softsynths hard.
Soundwise hardware or software is the same, its just a bunch of alghorithms on a dsp/cpu, its the quality of the alghorithms that do the job. But Softsynth are just so much more versatile, because they can be updated, and improved.

HI i agree, soft synth are gonna do good, coz they are more easier to use and the interface s very nice, soft synth also have the good thing the AUTOMATION and probabbly the efx adn dsp support many other technologies, i'am havin the blur plugin and the Hyperprism plugin, and i have total about 60 efx and more, which i think no equip can give, like in fruityloops 3 and rb338, and if there is a softsynth like the reason, the musicians are totally goona depentd on the The soft synth, and the mathmatics of the soft is better, it produces cool sound, i founa a JUNO 6 for linux,i don't remember frome where i gotr it, but it does kick Asses, coz it produces same original sound like the origuinal juno a bit beter from the original. So, this means in the future, the equipment is going to end. we cancoon tell anything, but of total musiciand , i thinkg the equip are Black and White, History . what do u say ?

THAT'S WRIGHT, one more thing we can not play the keyboard as fast as the piano roll in ht esoftsynth can play isn't it COOL.  , i love these softys, they kick ***, and **** the sound up, One of the best SOFT SYNTH OF MINE IS FRUITYLOOPS 3, rb338, Groove maker 2.0, and ejay products.

Hehe. I can't play the keyboard as fast either. But you see, we use a sequencer to play the synthezisers. Most of them don't even have a keyboard - mine don't. They're soundmodules.
So we identify horses... with ultra!
