You can spend hours trying to locate the right sound from a computer.Roland V-Synth and Virus-t have great presets. They have a lot of great sounds, and they’re good starting point. Virus-t is an instrument I get inspired with and use to come up with new musical ideas. It’s refreshing to have a piece of gear that you just play and it sounds great.”
