"Searching for the best ?? Look no further than the awesome Access Virus KC !!"

Sound: This thing sounds awesome...very analog like at times (I have O.S.6.5, with the Moog filter emulations)...very thick sound. Feature: This thing has awesome digital effects...very smooth. Built like a tank..feels like a million bucks. Quality: Like I said, this thing is built like a rock. No plastic in this chassis...the pots are all very tight and solid...like the kb, this is ultra reliable. If you want to see how well it is built, put it next to the Alesis Ion...the Alesis is a toy by comparison....... Value: This synth is expensive, but well worth it !! You get what you pay for... Manufacturer Support: They were very quick to answer any questions that I emailed them... The Wow Factor: ...with it's cool black case and red LED's, this is a very cool looking maching..... Overall: Because of Access's policy of free updates in patches and OS's, this thing will not be obsolete for years to come. IF lost or stolen, I would immediately get another.

"Sweet. Goddamn Sweet."

Sound: So fg cool. So many sounds, and each one is limitless with all the knobs right in front of you to tweak as you play. Feature: Amazing. the interface is easy. i learned it in 20 minutes at the music store. i sat down, and just got amazing sounds straight out of the presets and tweaked a little as i played. it practically GAVE me the ideas that i came up with as i played with it. amazing tools, easy interface. Quality: it looks like a well constructed piece of equipment. i've heard good things about access, and i would trust the piece of equipment. it's expensive, but the controls feel solid and not like they're gonna crap out. cosmetically it looks amazing, and if i had the cash, i don't think there's a analog modelling digital synth that can touch it. Value: if i had the money to spend, i'd either buy the KC or the sound module simply for the sounds alone. Manufacturer Support: i've heard good things. they're good about software updates, etc. The Wow Factor: Amazing sounds. wish they could be mine.

Style of Music: Progressive Rock/Metal
