Thats perfectly Natural,I would do the same if someone said the Oasys or Triton or Z1 or anything I value was bad,I'm not saying its a shit synth overall,I'm sure the Nords are superb synths in their own right,You see plenty of acts using the Nords(Most notably the MK2)the sound,I thought it was too raw or edgy on certain sounds,lack of effects is no sore point,but I suppose when you pay that much for a synth you expect a little Modulation,even if there crappy algorithms or poor Quality,a little chorus is usually the norm or a delay line..Good interface as with any VA,but I prefer the Sound of JP8K or a Prophecy,thats just my taste,doesn't mean my view is right,just a matter of taste,and I buy things on the pretence of what they can benefit my Music,Just the Nords didn't work for my taste Or Music back in those early Days of having one I prefered the JP8K,a more mellow sound
On the features it depends on what your after,after using the Virus TI you have all these routing modulations that you become sort of limitless,almost anything on the synth can be routed to anything else like a modular and the sounds are phenomial,on a par the Nords sound reminds me of the Andromeda raw and gruesome in some respects,but again the Nord is limited in its routing facilities,this is where I chose the A6 over another Nord which haven't really advanced that much except for maybe Polyphony.and a few other minor upfgrades since the MK1,thats why I don't have any need for them even in the mk2,mk3 2x etc,I'm sure the Modular version caters for that area,but thats an area I don't want to explore unless its a real hardware with real routing mods on the panelling,I've looked at the newer nords Long and hard in my Quest for a decent rig of VA,just the TI and Andromeda covers all needs,and everything else by the jp8k,and I didn't like the sound of the Nords enough to Justify buying another again,but maybe in the future Who knows,thats why I thought it was overrated at the time but we have more VA choice nowadays.
Weird circuits... I tuned it off and then on but the problem was still there. I'll se what happens after some time. I have no idea how these indepent sections are related to each other.
