Ooops, Access - Virus - one in the same.  My mistake.  If I'd had a
second keyboard for a master controller the Nord would have been my 1st
pick over the JP8K and AN1x.  But, since I didn't have a 2nd master
keyboard I went for the AN1x 18 months ago with no regrets.

I have to say the Access Virus sounded nice but it really isn't as
similar to the AN1x as I thought it would be.  I did like the sound more
than the Nord Lead but that could just be the built in effects.

What do you use to process your Nord?
