Well... we all know the obvious differences between pure A and VA, but still
when I bought my A100 there wasn't even a VA to consider. So I just thought
it deserved pointing out cause it takes a hell of a lot of space and money
to get a 32 voice or even a 16 voice true modular, but it is almost petty
cash for a VA and by now I think they have gone from poor soundquality to
marginally inferior. In fact quality isn't the right word for it is more a
case of different sound, right Bakis(you can compare) And there are no
glitchy cables in VA =)
