"I wish I could say what's been going on in my life, to complain about some of the stuff that has happened. It's not good, but not something I want to share publicly (nothing health related or anything). Just... huge letdowns.

Anyway - I'm here, still trying. I want to come back to something and say: I think the Virus TI is still my favorite synth in my studio... Coming back from the Moog Muse and thinking 'Huh, I didn't know I could do this on the TI.' The only thing I really wish the TI had was Filter FM, that's kind of a bummer - but I guess since it has oscillator FM, that can be maybe a more exact approach to a similar sound? And I know the LFOs can't go fast enough to simulate Filter FM (I tried, but after a certain frequency, pitch won't affect the rate like it should, so it won't work).

But... the Virus is something. After all these years it still impresses me. It STILL gets me feeling joy. Something not a lot of synths offer.

Like, the fact that it has those 'analog' filters (which are supposed to model the Moog filters?), they sound damn good. And something you might not think about is OSC VOLUME Saturation Type which can affect how the filter resonance sounds? I mean, this stuff can really change the sound in the most interesting way.

Don't know why I have half the crap I have to be honest... I've thought about selling the Prophet VS, Jupiter 6, and a whole lot of other things. They don't really bring me joy. But the Virus... it still does, and I've had this thing since 2012."
