AuthorTopic: Access Virus Total Integration Modeling Synths

Hi to all...

What's the skinny with the Virus Total Integration Modeling Synths?

Anybody shelled out the $1,595.95bUSh for one?

Looks good:

    poly now 80

    new HyperSaw...taps up to 9 parallel sawtooth oscillators (plus 9 optional subs!)...number of voices can be changed smoothly in realtime.

    wavetable oscillator...can blend waves to create evolving motion or switch between them to create gritty lo-fi textures.

    Mod Matrix has been expanded to 6 sources with three destinations each (18 routings total) for greater real-time control and patch programming freedom.

    new Knob Quantize mode syncs the effect of real-time or sequenced parameter changes to a pre-selected clock interval...changes are updated on the selected pulse and held until the next, resulting in staggered parameter movements like those produced by a step sequencer.

    16x2 delay/reverb fx.

    A scalable USB link connects the Virus to a Mac or PC for total integration of synth and studio. The VirusControl plug-in automatically detects and connects the synth, ensuring a hassle-free configuration every time.

    from inside a host application, a plug-in enables the new Virus hardware to appear as a multi-channel VST/AU soft-synth with up to 4 sub-mixes (or 2 × stereo). Access’ proprietary driver technology makes Virus TI the world’s first hardware synthesizer with sample-accuracy timing and a delay-compensated audio/MIDI connection.

    seamless interconnectivity in software sequencer environment...multi-timbral sounds and settings used for a project are stored within it with the plug-in, for snapshot total recall plus editor and librarian functions with no SysEx or 3rd party software hassles.

    24-bit 192KHz balanced analog, S/PDIF I/O and MIDI in and out ports.


2005 seems to be getting off to a good start! (keep 'em flying...)

    I'm really hoping this thing is as good as it seems... I've been SO close to getting powercore ever since you could get a software Virus, but I've held off.

    I feel like now this is finally exactly what I want: Hardware Virus, PLUS a VST. Wow.

    I was just about to buy Virus Poco when TI was anounced.

    and I just decided to go for TI tabletop version.
    Cool

    ok...so, everybody (so far) is in the same state i'm in, i.e.: almost about to buy a C, heard about the TI, now waiting for the rich guys to submit a review...

    where are you all?

    this may be a piece of hardware i can justify...the only other piece is the alesis a6 andromeda, but...

    The reason noone has submitted a review yet is because they are NOT out yet.
