Like: This is perhaps one of the most inspiring ReFills I own. I am a "recreational Reason" user and am always looking for new sounds to inspire me. I own Analogue Monsters Vol X and Analog Night so know the quality of Reason Banks ReFills. I am not able to justify buying the Access Virus that I want so decided to do the next best thing. I purchased this plug in and started browsing around the sounds to see what was available.

I was absolutely AMAZED at all of the sounds offered in this ReFill. I have been trying to create sounds that are more organic and flowing to add depth to my songs. Exploring this ReFill was like the experience of using the Combinator for the first time X 2.

There are great default patches that are easily tweakable to create all new incredible sounds. It has insipred me to spend more time in Reason. I have a few songs in the works that revolve around and were inspired by this ReFill. Check out "Vince" at http://defconxmusic.com/music.php

If a friend owned Reason, this is the first ReFill I would recommend they buy.

 

Dislike: That there are 9 more volumes available :)

 

Grade:     5 points - excellent, highly recommended!

Like: Combinators are great. Strong basses, leads, drums, and a few nice pads.

 

Dislike: I felt that the pads were lacking after previous experience with a real virus b/c. When I played the pads it was the most amazing ambient experience ever, but that magic was not there in this refill. There are still good pads and options to create your own though.

 

Grade:     4 points - Good work, recommended!

Like: Love the access virus raw waves as I'm interested in sound programming. The extra loops and combinators/sounds are a bonus to me (though a really good bonus as I use them as a tutorial of how to make sounds!)

 

Dislike: I would have liked the raw waves to be longer (e.g. maybe a few seconds in length) before looping. Also I would have liked the samples to be 24 bit.

Like: Sonically, it's magnificent - quality sounds that are instantly recognisable as a Virus. I had to sell my Virus-A synth when I upgraded to an all-software studio set-up, so it's great to be able to reaquaint myself with those harsh basses, soaring leads and bubbbling arpeggios within Reason.

This Refill can throw out some extremely powerful sounds - some of the basses in the NNXT Complex patch set are truly amazing. It's all impressive stuff - alongside the NNXT Complex patches, the Dr.Rex loops and Combinator patches particularly shine.

In all, the Virology is a great refill and it's also fantastic value for money - I'm very pleased with it..

 

Dislike: Dislike? Not much really, although there could maybe have been some documentation (patch lists, etc)included with the disc itself.

Like: If you are serious about your synths in Reason. Virology is a must and a bargain. Many thank to Andras and the team at Pinknoise studio.

Like: Way to much to say about this killer sample library. All refill's should be made REASON BANK style when you get it you get it .
I love it !!!!
I wish there was more leads (but I know there will be an add-on soon !!!
THIS IS NOT A DISLIKE !!!!!!!!!

 

Dislike: I wish I had more time to make music !
