The mod seq is killer. It is so nice, i can make the prettiest sounds, the phat sounds, and the weird weird sounds. It covers more ground than any other. If you want poly, get 2 racks. and boom. its nice nice nice. What i hate about the virus, and why i sold my a, is because they update it all the time, making yours worthless, and then you have to buy a new one, that is so bogus, nord does the same thing. I think its best to go with a jp8080 or a ms2000, they keep their value and are not undermined everytime their programming happy makers decide to make a new model or update the os that requirs to buy a new version. Its bulls***. and i dont think the virus sounds any better, its more oberish, and the ms and jp are well, more versitle, sounding liek old roland, moog, arp, ms, and all kinds. i program these things, and if you dont, you should learn because never buy a synth off of presets. Push the limits with them, the highs and lows, see if it makes the sound you want with the raw osc and filter. and then take into account the mod matrix, i think the ms2k and the jp are the best, well, there is the nord modular, and that thing is really cool too.

The keyboard itself is excellent quality which is reason enough to recommend the KB over the B (if you're in the market for a good controller).

Another cool thing is something called Groove Delay - sounds like a multi-tap delay type thing.
