New classic virus's synth with synthedit called virusb+

[audiojunkie]

I assumed he had sampled a Virus too, but, no , he made the tables in cooledit. He is not calling it Access Virus anymore, but VirusB, I don't know how he'll go with that.

Really cool that he made the tables himself! I really want this thing to succeed. I think that in its current incarnation, it is a little too pricey, but with a little work and if he can avoid a lawsuit, it could turn out to be a pretty cool instrument. I freely admit I like the sounds from the demos. I wish him well with getting this thing going. With a little work on the web site, a few changes on the instrument (Linear instead of circular controls, improved filters, removing the extra GUI elements (so that only one GUI skin is in the DLL instead of multiple, selectable skins), oversampling, name change that doesn't encourage lawsuits, etc.) this could turn out to be quite decent.

P.S. What we need to do is get him to come to this site so that we can communicate with him what we'd like to see. (of course, we could end up scaring him off).

So far i was not able to get anything from that synth except a picture of the GUI so let's wait for the final version before we praise it like it's the best synth ever released. And yes, 100+ $ for a Synthedit synth is quite much, except if it's called OP-X Pro:

BTW i have a real Virus TI here for comparison...


PS:
The Virus is already a kind of "legend" among the hardware synths so if you fail in doing a proper emulation prepare to be tarred and feathered...

I'm fine with with withholding judgment (positive or negative).

I also agree that it is a legend, and the bar has been set high. I just hope people don't chase off a new developer before he's had a chance to even get things going.

If you look close on the comment about the Virus you'll see it's not totally serious. On the other hand if you try to emulate such a popular synth you have to expect some critical comments.
Not to mention that it's made with Synthedit (which is not always bad of course), seems to have a quite high price and that only few people (which does NOT include me) have an idea how the plugin actually sounds.

Finally i don't know what we have to expect here but as long as i have a Virus TI i'm not really interested at the moment anyway (maybe later if i would sell the TI...). I would only like to check the demo for comparing it with the real thing.

No worries, it's all good!

I wouldn't worry about it either if I owned an actual Virus. Lucky man!

It would be nice to have people like yourself (who have the actual equipment) to compare against the hardware.

well ingo ,whats problem with synthedit ? have you ever work with synth edit ? right now we have some master companies which made thier synth with
synthedit
crysonic
superwave
Adventus
and so on....
if you couldnot make synth by synthedit maybe you did something wrong

dont wait to compare it with ti man,cuase virusb+ dead: and infected line with new features instead of it born:)

[Aloysius]

crysonic
and so on....

Hmm . . . Are you trying to make a joke or a serious point?

[ms1984]

Compeletly serious check it

http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/01 ... _0105.html

here is your answer: Crysonic make they stuff with SE (according to KVR). So how

1. They make their processors available in AU format?
Is there any way in the world to convert VST to AU?

2. They claim for 64-bit internal precision?
While SE is as far as I know 32-bit

3. They claim for 24bit/96Khz audio support?
SE supports it?

How is it possible?

There's nothing wrong with Synthedit in general but the real innovative synths were mostly made without IMO. Another limitation is that it's Windows only. I don't have a problem since i don't have an Apple computer but maybe others do.

And yes i tried the demo version of Synthedit but the factory modules don't really do it for me.
I already made synths using AAS Tassman 4 or VAZ Modular 3 which with all respect have a much better sound quality than the average Synthedit synths.

All this aside i still own synths like e.g. OP-X Pro, LittleOne, Memorymoon, some of Kriminal's stuff or guitarbro's new Novachord beta. For most of them i programmed patches which i currently like more than programming synths.

On the other hand i'll be honest and say that around 90% of the published Synthedit synths are just boring, useless or sounding bad IMHO. It's hard to find the really good ones among them and almost for all of them there's a commercial synth which does the job better.
The best Synthedit synth at the moment is OP-X Pro IMO, mostly due it's awesome sound, the huge patch library or just for being a very good emulation of the Oberheim synths.

Currently i try to program almost all possible types of sounds on my Blofeld which is like "going back to the roots".

allright well done man keep going , as you know everything included advantages and disadvantages man ,your right cause jeff did not think about mac version for SEM
whats your idea about synthmaker?

Also tried Synthmaker which sound wise makes no big difference IMO but i like the GUI of both the program and of the controls for the synths. Looks much more professional than the average SE GUIs.
The possibility to write your own modules as code inside the program is also nice but this is way above my head.


PS:
I forgot to mention the SE plugins of WOK like e.g. the Clockwork sequencer which are quite cool.

[RPH]

..jeff did not think about mac version for SEM

He did think about that, but he doesn't have a MAC to test stuff.
Send him a MAC and he'll provide support for AU.

looks like he's deleted his site, way to chase someone else off again KVR!

To many puritans here. They will start the mob before the trouble even begins. Thats to say if trouble would have happened anyway.

[osiris]

His site's still there..kind of. I got a basic parent directory. One link wanted a password. The other took me to an HTML forum. Read the posts & it looks like he's in the process of testing. We should really write and offer help/encouragement. If he puts an arp or a gate or both in that..... CM will no doubt eat it up like they did Genesis.

[RunBeerRun]

How did he hide the soundfonts in SE 1.1? I'm freezing it in DiscoDSP Highlife because it uses 90% cpu, and ran into missing soundfonts.

I've been wondering who would be the 1st to sample hardware in Synthedit and try to sell it.

[osiris]

He used wavetabbles, not soundfonts, so he either had EVM's WT module, or CK has one I believe. I have the Virus wavetable, but nothing to load it in. The uniqueness of the virus is the waveshaper which is a 3 way mix between saw, pulse & the selected digital waveform. I have a diagram on my XP, but no one make a 3 channel pan.....
