it's because the red LEDs of the virus c make it sound warmer. and the size of the housing + the wood makes it sound deeper.

lol.
Are the DACs the same?
By the way, I wish you guys had kept the red LED theme for later models, or at least offered it as an option. Red light is well known for being the least hard on night vision. The contrast isn't painful like with other gear with white/yellow LEDs. It's GREAT for playing late at night in the dark!
Maybe you should post some samples so fresh ears can give it a listen. 
Are you running both through the DAC? If you're using USB audio for the TI you might just be hearing the DACs coloring the sound on the C...
Pff, don't get caught in the "this vs this" game, they each have their own characteristic sound. The idea any of those softsynths listed can compare to the Virus TI is a total joke in my opinion anyway.
Some soft synths (Zebra etc) may be more flexible but the Virus has its own characteristic sound. If this is a sound that pleases you, just get the Virus. Plus you can't beat the hands on control the Virus offers.
Ignore what the ohter people say. If you like the Virus, it needs to be in your studio.
What would I do to connect lfo 1, with osc 1 or 2, so that wen a note is pressed once, everything stays the same, but when you hold the note the lfo kicks into play?
any help,thanks
It'd be easier to just do this with LFO3 since it has a delay parameter.
However you could still do something like this with LFO1, if you modulated LFO1 with a rising sawtooth LFO with LFO2 or 3, or an envelope.
I don't have the TI - I have a KC myself - but honestly I think blackstone's warnings are an exaggeration. Most people don't seem to have many, if any, issues with the unit. Few people come to forums to say "My TI is working fine," so it can lead one to believe that problems are more common than they are.
It sounds great. The build is great, particularly the keybed, which is the best I've ever used. Support is amazing (I had my first support email responded to in under 15 minutes on a Sunday... incredible.)
I'd look into a TI yourself. I would've gone that route if I could've afforded it. The price jump to get a TI2 is a bit too much to justify getting that over a TI.
The TI2 mostly just offers 25% more processing power.
Cool, thanks for the clarification Raz. I've heard a lot of acid trance music dripping with 303 lines but I wasn't quite sure on that sound - if you have one on hand I trust your opinion. It really is wild what you can do with it!
Hrmm, I've played with a 303 before and I certainly recognized similarity but I swear the timbre is somewhat different, more dissonant... maybe I'm just deaf? I'll see if I figure anything out.
Dreamy chord progression accompanied by some arranged sounds I recorded around town. Enjoy.
I really liked "Clouds." Good work.
P.S. Make it available for download! 
I think he's referring to this:
Great to hear you have your gear back... it's sad that in the US such medical situations are so common. Kind of you to help.

This is that sound above, if that helps any... it's just raw audio from a Virus KC.
Not huge into hardstyle here but hopefully it helps in some way.
EDIT: OOPS! You're after a totally different sound, sorry for the juvenile advice :P. I'll leave these posts up anyway in case its helpful to some newbie.
Didn't download those files (I don't own a copy of Fruity Loops anyway) but the basic idea is just...
1 osc, square waveform. 1 *bandpass* filter, cutoff set to minimum, resonance to maximum, envelope amount to about half.
Set attack on both filter envelope and amp envelope to 0, sustain on both to 0, and release on both to 0. Set Decay on filter to about 1/3rd and decay on the amp to about half.
Max out the digital distortion on this sound, crank up the sub osc.
Set to Mono1, PUNCH Intensity = 127, and oscillators to PhaseInit = 1.
Should be decent...
It's in the back of the manual for the KC. Don't know about the TI, I've never used one.
No one knows? I guess I should contact support...?
Two books that are pretty decent:
Power Tools for Synthesizer Programming
Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook
You should check out soundonsound.com and read a bunch of their articles. Great stuff to be found there.
A bit of info, though very old: http://www.infekted.org/virus/archive/index.php/t-23860.html
I do believe I have OS 6.5 on here... hmm. Any thoughts anyone? Anyone else experience this?
