Jay, 

I read across this, then forgot about it until we talked about a Virus last night in the studio -- I think the Virus, even though it has a lot of menus (esp. the TI) is one of the more intuitive synths! with many knobs and the ability to really destroy the preset with both hands in less than 20 seconds.

in other words: there is no excuse for using lame presets (stay especially far away from the ones labelled "k9" in OS3 of the Virii...;) at all...!
