What vst sounds closest to the Virus TI?

[seafire]

Is the OSCAR (or, specifically, Gforce's ImpOSCAR emulation) similar to the Virus?

They both share some elements, and you can no doubt get similar sounds out of both, but the impOSCar is not based on the Virus.

You can easily find this out for yourself by trying both (or even just looking at the specs)

I never seen any comment on Discord about an emulation of any DAC.
Ostirus is like the usb output, there is no DAC for the USB.

If you know how to read, you may have read before that the output of the ANALOG outputs and the DIGITAL outputs (these ones don't pass through any DAC) is virtually undistinguishable. This was written by soeone who owns (or owned) a real Virus.

If you know how to read. I'm saying there is NO emulation of a DAC on Ostirus. Notghing else
Btw I own a real Virus Ti2 desktop

AFAIR no one said there is. They emulate the CPU (the Motorola DSP), and use the original software code for the synth part. If you do own a real Virus, do you "really" maintain that emulating the DAC is necessary? Can you post a proof of that?

I never ever said that statement !

What are we discussing then? Why on earth would a DAC emulation be necessary?

[mcbpete]

Are we arguing about who wasn't arguing about a non-issue ?!

Dude. Again I never said that. Give me a break. Go for a tea

i'm pretty shure that we can get very close the access virus DAC sound just by using TAL-DAC...i've got to try,ill post the results once i get some vst vs hardware samples.

Ok, Gentlemen can we now talk about ADC since the DAC thing is getting a bit old.

So, you're saying that ADC is better than DAC?!!! Prove it!!!

How? TAL-DAC emulates 1980s samplers both the input sampling stage and the output DACs with low Bit Rates and sample rates

It literally has zero in common with the Access Virus, if you want to emulate the E-MU Emulator II or the Akai S1000 it would be a good tool, but if you want to emulate late 1990s and early 2000s instruments running at 24 bits and high sample rates it's the absolute worst tool for the job

No, I would not say so as DAC are usually higher in Quality. I do think an accurate ADC emulation of the Virus is something to consider though.

[sergiofrias]

tal dac actually can go up to 48000 hz, and 16 bit .

Sorry, I was just messing with you because that's how this thread seems to be going.

Oh, kind sir. Me would never do or even just assume such thing.
