Yes.

It's not a question of how many channels, but more like how busy those 
channels are. If you're sending a lot of chords and use unison patches, 
you will run out of polyphony. I've never had problem so far (and that's 
with a B generation Virus with even less polyphony), but your miles may 
vary.

Of course they do - *if* they rely heavily on those effects. However, I 
found that the Virus doesn't suffer as much as other synths as it's 
really only the delay/reverb effect that is shared, but none of the 
other modulation blocks.

If you're really keen on the full FX section per part, you'll need a 
Virus TI.
