yeah, the synths are not toys, they're very flexible, but the sound they produce is flat and uninspiring compared to the virus. I've had them for about 6 years, and have learnt to program good sounds with them, but still my patches lacked depth and sparkle. I thought it must have been something missing in the rest of the studio (compression, excitement, eq etc), but now that I've heard what the virus is capable of straight out of the box, it's clear that the JP just has a toylike sound. It is responsible for the cheap sounding trance I loathe so badly. It was only after I heard the sound design patches on that link I posted that I realised the JP was the culprit.
It's still capable of awesome sounds, but if you need to create powerful lead sounds which carry a melody, the JP just isn't up to it. Unless you want your music to sound cheap... which I do not, so I'm heading for Access!
