i think nobody would like to afford one analogue filter for each of the up to 90 voices... also i think the mini moog inspired cascade filter in the virus is very close to the original...

best, marc

i would suggest you go buy it right away.

The alesis andromeda is a beast too has really really fat ass oscillators and filters

You'd be surprised just how 'analoge' the virus's filters can sound if you put your mind to it...

Well a lot of people have a distorted view on what 'true analogue' sounds like - to the point where they've said something that is actually analogue is not 'true analogue' without realising...

True analogue is a myth - just like the myth that vinyl sounds better (true, vinyl has a unique quality that some people prefer - which could and has been faked without too much trouble).

Just as soon as the technology improves - and I believe that the Virus is one of the few modern synths that can pull it off convincingly at the moment - mimicking analogue filters will be easy (and i mean mimicking in as much as one 'such and such' filter sounds like another of the same...).

Besides all that, i much prefer to have an imperfect filter in digital, where i can have endless instances of it, to a single analogue filter which i had to pay through the nose for...

There is no myth as to what true analog is. You could possibly consider the new school analog synths that have digital tuning to not be true analog, I guess. As for vinyl, it produces frequencies twice as high as what most digital mediums output today, so, no, that hasn't been faked. If you want to argue whether most humans can hear frequencies that high or whether it affects them is another story.
