Hi, I'm thinking of getting an old virus and was wondering if it is worth it in my position. I would love to get a new TI but even the snow is a little out of my price range right now, so I was thinking of picking up one of the older models on the second hand market. I'll mainly be wanting it for resampling purposes. In particular I'll be wanting to make techy neurophunk style DnB/Dubstep bass lines, reeses and stabs (think Noisia, Spor, Billain etc).
At the moment I mainly use Massive and was wondering how those older models of the virus compare? I hear lots of good things about the "sound " of the virus, but that's mainly the newer TI range. I was wondering what the older versions sound is like in comparison to modern soft synths?
So going on what I've said here is it worth picking up a second hand Virus? My other option is picking up one if the new Arturia MiniBrutes, which are around the same price as a second hand Virus B and maybe picking up a TI further down the line when I have more money.
Anyone with any experience with these older models have any advice?
Thanks in advance.
