As an actual owner of the Virus and P12, as well as having worked with an A1 and NL4, my opinions are at least based on real experience. This, of course, does not make them correct or valid for everyone - but at least it gives me an equal seat at the table.
In other words, I respect your dislike for the Internet demos; but maybe you should be a little less authoritative in your statements about the synth's ability to succeed in a given genre until you've actually, well, played one.
All stated with respect.
Don't tell me. Show me. I'd love to be proven wrong. The P12, on paper, seems like my dream synth. It just doesn't seem to sound like it.
I should also clarify that if it were priced in the neighbourhood of the Blofeld I'd own it. I kind of like that gritty ugliness at times. ...but as I said to Quantum7 in another thread, while he's out in space imagining nebula are singing to him, I'm taking out the alien hoards with a ray gun. Have you listened to his music? Not my cup o'romulan brandy, but it's very beautiful and pristine sounding in a way that I seldom hear in P12 demos. Prove me wrong though. I love to learn.
P.S. I recently ditched a Snow because I thought it sounded a bit ugly to my ears.
