"OS 6.5 is Excellent - One of the Top analogs available today."

I'm really happy with this instrument. I will supplement it with other gear. Maybe that Voyager :)
Sound
Excellent sound. I have a Motif 6 and I needed an analog synth. I decided this was a good addition to my setup. Now it's not 'true' analog compared to a Moog Voyager per say so dont' come here if that's what you're looking for. But you can still get those fat analog sounds with programming and emulate a wide variety of sounds/instruments.
Features
I really like the 6.5 OS. It's easy to navigate and if i have a little trouble I can turn to the manual to help explain something. Most useful features for me are the MOD matrix (if you can even call this a feature since most analog synths have a mod matrix), ability to see values stored with a patch (i.e. cutoff orginally at 65, when I modify it's new value is displayed to the right of orginal), and effects section. What I like about the mod matrix is you can practically modulate any parameter on the synth. And you're not limited to just the 4 standard LFO waveforms. The reverb isn't bad, but if you have a Powercore or something similar in your DAW you might want to explore that instead. Almost forgot to mention Muli mode and SoundDiver. Makes it easy to use a sequencer, Logic or Cubase with the Virus C.
Quality
I have the Redback. No problems here. Very well constructed. I love that signature plate :)
Value… read more
It's worth the price. There is something very different from tweaking an acutal piece of hardware compared to a soft synth. I just don't feel the same creative feeling. Call me crazy, but I love instant access to the knobs for parameter adjustments.
Manufacturer Support
Access is very prompt in their responses. I usually get an email response within 24hrs. Combine that with constant OS improvements and a huge user sound library.
The Wow Factor
Redback all the way. Only 500 were made so it might be difficult to find one these days. The Silver Indigo is still very nice.
