Maximum of 3 outputs is nowhere near enough outputs for a synthesizer with a maximum of 16 parts and sounds. I like to mix each sound individually and as I said before, 3 outputs is just not good enough!! More outputs would be great thanks
More multi-outputs to mix individual sounds in DAW!!!!

It really doesn't matter.
The Virus can barely 1 run sound w/enough polyphony and effects.
You may get 2 or might even squeeze out a 3rd (doubtful) if you minimize the effects.
Although the 1 sound might be pretty amazing, This is NOT a 16 part machine in any sense.... What were you expecting for $2000?

With 3 USB stereo pairs and 3 analog stereo pairs, and the Virus' ability to assign a part to the L or R channel of any pair, you can get 12 individually mixable mono parts out of the Virus.
theRoyal1 is correct, however, that polyphony is the biggest limitation.
I am currently working on a 12-part Virus project that demonstrates how to make this work, and I'm only up to 8 parts so far and am already having to jump through hoops to avoid dropped notes due to insufficient voices. This is on a TI2 Desktop. (A Snow would have only been able to carry my percussion, making its lack of multiple analog outs moot.)
EDIT: All that said, I wouldn't complain if they added some more analog outputs- so long as they double the DSP power while they're at it!

Access should use 6 dsp's like clavia uses instead of only two
I read, they use the same dsp chip.
