I dared to ask. Do you dare to look?

within the next month i'm going to buy an access virus. i want the virus b, but i'm paranoid that the module w/ separate midi keyboard will have draw backs when compared to the virus kb.
i heard the keyboard is pretty nice on the virus kb. would it be a better idea to get the kb since i don't already own a midi controller? |

it really depends on your "work style"
I personally prefer the modules and racks since they take far less space
and I also find it convenient to have my midi controller (which doesn't produce any sound) in front of me on the table
and all the synthes and modules on a shelf by my side so I can reach them with ease...
so I guess your cons are pros for me...
what happenes when youve got 5 or 10 synthes...
how you gonna place them and reach them?

completely logical issue:
keyboarded synths cost more,
modules/racks take less space and
sometimes have their cotrollers not assignable,
keyboard controller + knobs controller are assignable[ and can get into 1500 shekels - both],
1 controller device can fit many synths [including software]
now ... conclude what is better :)

But if it's your first synth I think you should get one with keyboard. But it's just my preference, you do whatever you want. |

New midi controller in shops will cost you about 1000+ NIS. |

The Virus KB is a 5 octave I think which is relly nice, but the keys ain't got any touch feeling
it's like pushing plastic buttons... if you know what I mean -
anyway, first synth, without having any midicontrollers, really should be with the keyboard, that way you can enjoy your synth much better!
I have the nord2 and its keyboard is really great - same as Qs actually...

We are talking about the keyboard that comes with the Access Virus. |

Philip, the Virus' keyboard is good in comparison to other virtual-analog synth that are currently in the stores. It has great touch (of course its not a Stainway piano...), and the velocity-sensitivity is very accurate (IMO IMO IMO :))
