The Virus and the Nord Leads ARE killer for lead synths and basses....but if you want to cover ALL of the bases at once, go with a K2600...screw all other workstations (including the MOTIF and the Karma and all that shit) The 'mainstream' "popular" workstations have lots of funky sounds, and NEAT colors too! But in the end there freakin' headaches. There are always hidden 'umentioned' dilemmas and major limitations....Kurzweil is the only 100% all around proffessional music workstation for ANY style of music that continually lives up to and often exceeds it's own reputation.
