Most VA's these days are just software in a box. They do have da/AD converters in which some cases make them sound better than others. I love the virus but aside from that nothing excites me these days. There is no such true analog and that is where it's at. Everytime u press a key it's different. Not worth the cost in maintence to keep an old synth.

So if I would have to pick I would day the virus ti and a Waldorf q. My q is out of commission and I miss it a lot.
