I'm only vaguely familiar with this synth "emulator" program (?). I have seen screenshots of the Virus C running in this environment (?) and people reliably claiming that it is a perfect reproduction of the Virus. As someone who is considering parting with my Virus TI2 keyboard in order to make room for a Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave keyboard, I'm obviously intrigued.Vavra (microQ) and upcoming Xenia(mWxt) is your best bet.
But aren't there a whole host (no pun intended) of legal issues surrounding something like this? It seems a bit "shady" on the surface. I suppose no shadier than cracks but still something that might give one pause.
Of course, in the case of a Microwave II/XT "emulation" (for lack of a better word,) this isn't a current product. So what's the harm? I highly doubt an emulator of this sort would impact sales of the current Waldorf M or Iridium.
But the Virus TI2 is still nominally a current product. But then again, the current emulation is of a Virus C which isn't a current product.
But it stills seems a bit suspect that you need to go to a separate site to download a Virus "ROM" in order to make use of the emulator.
But whatever. I've read that there are plans for a Nord Lead 3 emulation as well as the others mentioned. I currently own a Nord Rack 3 that I will NEVER sell. Not even to feed my children. LOL. It's the most enjoyable synth I've ever programmed even if the sound can be a bit thin and digital-sounding at times. Just being able to take my Nord 3 sounds with me on the road would be amazing.
So yeah, bring this on. I hope that doesn't run afoul of KVR guidelines. I'm not trying to "steal" anything.
