  ADDICT OF SOUND's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Powerful"

  Characteristics

  Rack;
  
  I use it in Vst edit my patch and my sound card audio fastrack ultra to record.
  
  Plugged into usb on macbook

  Utilization

  The setup is very simple, I regularly download updates and patches across the site access, (indeed only downside for me would offer access news more often)
  
  
  
  Editing is simple, especially in usb mode (vst), unlike the previous review, I did some testing parcque I was skeptical about the performance vst, for me it was like using a plug directly ... and frankly you can go is really great! all the native instruments, Rob Papen, arturia ... quality, power, color must be deaf not to pick up the difference, and the virus enters a mix to perfection ...
  
  What I can advise the user that has left a notice on catastrophic virus is to buy a good sound card, RAM, and an EQ.

  Sounds

  Perfect for techno, trance, club, house,
  
  The bass is powerful, expressive and deep groundwater
  
  The effects are good apart reverb that sounds terrible but not as good on most synth

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a year before I had a virus b, access for me it's big sound is to make electronic music, if you want to do something go your way and buy a keyboard ..

  Anonymous 's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Virus Snow"

  Characteristics

  An unlimited number of sounds via the vst editor.
  
  Too many choices kills choice.

  Utilization

  Manual ok
  
  Editing sounds ok
  
  It is used as a vst and it sounds a little better than most of those we've all.

  Sounds

  This synth is soft. But the reverb is beautiful MDR!
  
  The sounds are very average and after a week of use I already regret my purchase.
  
  
  
  Useful for some FX

  Overall Opinion

  € 1000 for a similar stew stuffed with almost all latency sounds almost unusable in a mix with real analos.
  
  It hurts! 'm Disgusted.
  
  With experience, I will not live. Value for money, it's robbery.
  
  The worst is that it remains one of the best parait_il VA market.
  
  The only interest of this machine is that it saves CPU load.

  benten808's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " elegantly versatile"

  Characteristics

  Virtuel._ analog synthesizer oscillators, filters, envelope filter and amplifier, blah, blah, effects, blah, in short, ... Synthetic terrain with digital technology ...
  
  
  
  It is a smaller version of the line carrying a single virus TI DSP chip 2 at cons his fellow ... Reducing the number of lanes in multi timbral 4 (4 different sounds in use simultaneously) against 16 ...
  
  
  
  Fewer controls on the front ... However, three knobs are fully editable ... And engaging live, I never hacked more than 2 or 3 different controllers simultaneously. For the octopus just as they use a good MIDI controller to slides, knobs, buttons ....
  
  
  
  Polyphony varies depending on the complexity of sounds in use, I already saturated in a couple of times in abusing frankly frankly.
  
  
  
  The modulation matrix allows you to control up to 6 different sources, 3 destination settings each time. All without restrictions of choice ... It's like having a patch bay crazy.
  
  
  
  MIDI compatibility, USB (via PC VST, Mac, 32-bit or 64 bit).
  
  
  
  I lower the rating due to a compatibility problem that I solved PC by offering me ... mac ... Developers in Access are very Mac-friendly and customer service will not always be able to find a solution to your problems of compatibility software or hardware ...

  Utilization

  Manual Quick delivery is good but not exhaustive. The site offers online music access a range of textbooks very rich. Consulting the reference guide is essential for a total use.
  
  
  
  Access has also published a guide on the pedagogical use C virus in an optical "sound design". It is beautifully done and is entirely consistent with more recent products of the brand ... Read and implement essential as it expands your creative horizons and your understanding of the contraption.
  
  The programming of the module from its facade gives the impression of a little repaint a room through the crack of mailboxes on the front door ... I use systematically the plugin interface that is perfect (well, almost).
  
  
  
  The sound editing is of infinite wealth ... As pulled from the tips on various synths, I've easily transposed to my IT ... It is very easy to study manuals for other brands to emulate their concepts of IT ...
  
  
  
  Access has made several updates to the OS Virus. In some cases, new features have been added (effects, ...).

  Sounds

  The sound that comes out of this thing is purely related to the quality of your sound programs ... For better or for worse ... I am fully satisfied with the sound rendering and signal to noise ratio is excellent. Like it or not big fans of tech ... With that, Brown Brown, can do very, very solid!
  
  
  
  Many sound libraries are available and offer a good range of tools to those who would not pay too much in sound design ... For my part, I prefer to make my sounds from scratch. But I also use some sounds programmed by some very talented members of the ACCESS community working in a variety of styles.
  
  
  
  This synth can produce sounds simply magnificent. I make industrial rock, but this trick can rake very very large ... GLITCH, TRANCE, EBM, Progressive, Funk ... No limit!

  Overall Opinion

  I design and sound recording with my TI snow since four months. This is my first hardware synth and I'm totally satisfied.
  
  
  
  Using the plugin and the 3 Controllers are configurable front features I like most.
  
  
  
  Access is expensive, but it's worth it totally. The concept of the virus is a very good solution for virtual analog synthesizer ...
  
  
  
  I have at home ever synth access ... I could not do without.
  
  
  
  Service to review ...

  greg3000's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Excellent!"

  Characteristics

  You can easily find the features on the site of access or elsewhere, so I will not go their job ... but rapidly
  
  The interface also makes sound card (input output jack) and midi interface (1 + e 1 s)
  
  The peculiarity of the virus is that snow is controllable via a plug in a sequencer like any other vsti.

  Utilization

  Configuration is very simple, and the manual is quite clear to begin.
  
  To go further it will use the pdf manual available on the site.
  
  Editing the sounds is much more convenient than using the plug through the interface because the snow has only a small screen and a few knobs.
  
  The good news is that 3 of the knobs are assignable to parameters that you want.

  Sounds

  For sounds, we will instead move toward electronica, sound design etc. ...
  
  Even if we can create the old organ sounds realistic enough, or even the drums that sound real, see flutes ..
  
  In all sounds sounds electros current, or I suspect the use of a virus, which then I said, I can do it with the virus ...
  
  The sound is distinctive, but still deadly!
  
  The possibilities of the arpeggiator are excellent, noted that the data that they can control what you want ...

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 2 years I think, and before that kind of synth, I had used as VSTi.
  
  So my advice is to be taken lightly but:
  
  since I have thrown my plugs in the garbage, and my progs have taken a look pro.
  
  Value for money I think there is nothing to say.
  
  I can specify that Access update regularly provides new packs presets, and a personalized answer if you have a concern.
  
  Another thing, if you push too beast, is sometimes a bit unstable, at least in "plug", but creation is weak enough to be annoying, live I can not give an opinion.
  
  I was fairly new to mix and master, but you can get an idea on myspace "Nomad For Love"
  
  www.myspace.com / nomadsforlove
  
  all sounds come from the synthetic virus snow ...
  
  With experience I will ever be this election, with money I will buy the CT ... which has many more knobs and features editable quickly ..

  alcools's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Big sound"

  Characteristics

  cf doc

  Utilization

  Fairly easy to use (Multi mode + a bit complicated), but the doc aprt start, the rest is in English: HHHOOOUUUU!

  Sounds

  I have not finished testing all the sounds available online on the Virus TI Snow (I've already typed about 1300 of the 3000 online!), But I can make a first report in relation to my tastes ( Pink Floyd, I also like the sound archive, Air or Acid in the genre).
  
  
  
  Lots of very good bass sounds (including violence and percussion may not be reproduced on the keyboard, even the Nmg2 I own too)
  
  
  
  Full of very thick layers (at Jarre Oxygene and Equinox in with phaser) that I love
  
  
  
  At the level of lead sounds, there's good and bad, but overall not very Floyd
  
  
  
  Pluck full of good and bad (there is for Archive +)
  
  
  
  In fact, there are so many sounds that are almost always ultimately happiness. For cons, the bank delivered its origin is quite average. I prefer the former banks of C virus, or Ti2 (downloadable so no worries).
  
  
  
  The strengths of Viruses for my taste are:
  
  - Variety of sounds
  
  - Filters that have teeth that Nord +
  
  - The phaser of beauty
  
  - The arpeggiators much better than North (lots of reasons rytmique, various settings and various non-existent in North)
  
  - A sound very punchy and fat than the North can not go, except a little on the G2 and again ...)
  
  
  
  Defects:
  
  - Banks contain many sound effects are not necessarily useful
  
  - Ditto for lots of softies Pad, full of effects and very long attack: Can be used as a group and taking all the space sound
  
  - Often too much effect on the factory presets
  
  - Multi Mode (multiple sounds at once) still not intuitive. I will not use it on the Snow saw countless bug I had with my previous virus in multiplayer mode (which made me leave the mark)
  
  - Displaying of sound banks in paw flies on the computer screen (at least in high def)

  Overall Opinion

  In conclusion, I am very happy with this purchase which will nicely complement my 2 main North (Nord Stage and G2), and can be placed on the right corner of NS with my paw-to-fix given its small size ( it exceeds a lot but it is).
  
  
  
  If I had to choose today between a G2 and a Virus TI keyboard, but still I would take the G2 because the multiplayer is reliable, it has good sound also varied (but generally different), and that program, I 'm pretty sure you can get what I need. Virus being less flexible on this point and am wary of Multi, it would not be as complete.

  Natspace's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  View product details at retailers and at Access Music.
  
  
  
  Note that Access provides you with a carrying case for the Snow and a pack of 13 stickers bearing the image of the brand to "customize" the beast.
  
  Found in a box below the pad 6 pads slip sticker.

  Utilization

  - The general configuration is it simple?
  
  Yes to a regular, for a beginner will spend a few hours / days to know how to handle the "beast" correctly.
  
  
  
  - Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
  
  By "publishing material" is not very hard to navigate menus, it just takes a little time to adjust to the navigation and menu hierarchy.
  
  
  
  By "editing software" with the Virus Control everything is clear enough and you'll quickly get used to going through there to tamper with the beast.
  
  
  
  The manual is clear and sufficient?
  
  Not really for the manual paper is a simple guide to getting started, I wish the other hand "French" are printed in PDF, but hey, it shoed and less trees cut down.
  
  If not for the rest it is very complete with bonus video tutorials explaining how to install the bug or create his first sounds.

  Sounds

  - The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?
  
  As a producer of Trance Music, there's no photo. (^ ^)
  
  
  
  - Are they realistic?
  
  Much more "péchus" that sounds I have on my Vanguard, especially in some low and tablecloths.
  
  - The effects are they effective and responsive?
  
  Oh yes! better than I have in vst.
  
  
  
  - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate ...?
  
  Those unsuitable for my style music (laughs).
  
  Not quite frankly they are all very good, after it is a matter of taste.

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you use it?
  
  2 days.
  
  
  
  - What is so special that you like most and least?
  
  
  
  <ul> + Sounds
  
  + Virus Control
  
  + The audio output through the USB
  
  + By controlling the Virus TI Snow as a VST
  
  
  
  - The instability of the version 2.7 beta 4 on certain points
  
  - No ON / OFF buttons to start or stop
  
  - Some bugs with the Virus Control </ul>
  
  
  
  - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
  
  
  
  Yes Virus B 9 years ago.
  
  
  
  - How would you rate the quality / price?
  
  Excellent. :-)
  
  
  
  - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
  
  Yes and no, in fact if I had the means I'll be taking the IT Desktop, but hey the Snow is also very nice especially for the stage.

  2HO's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Version without keypad (desktop). To report a bug exists across the board with the Virus TI OS 2.7 (last update): the MIDI In and Out are unstable. Owners of IT Desktop / Polar / Keyboard can reinstall version 2.5 for the MIDI ports are stable, not the owners of the SNOW. So until the next update, live in the south drive.
  
  
  
  Connection of good quality despite the bug report above. Strong and effective audio connectors. Supply + external USB connectors. Virus Control mode everything goes through the USB MIDI messages, and even sync audio, and it gnial!
  
  
  
  Sound banks are both varied and incredibly rich. A small lack of originality in sound dj Cerain heard everywhere, but a little fiddling, the multitude of tilt can be varied almost without limit types (I think of the oscillator is a new grain . The styles are trs Varis, every few minutes you can play the electro, trance, techno, hardstyle, and even the elctro-clash or glitch (blah, but some like). ditables All sounds are, half the sound is even and renregistrables effaables.
  
  
  
  Obviously the Virus Control is the must ... no comment (see comments from other IT).
  
  
  
  Amazing polyphony: 50 voices for 4 shares and is super modern. Each track is incredibly rich: it can push each track trs far, a lot of depth and prsence.
  
  
  
  I put 9 / 10 and not the max rating because there are some bugs caused by the OS in beta: I&#39;m back for the beta versions but for the Snow we have no choice! Too bad for those who lack patience. I do not use that MAC may be the PC version is it more stable (that would be thundering). The main bug is the host to freeze the boot of a project (once started it is more stable) and the use of Soft Knobs (the 3 pots of rglage). The latter seems to bug disparatre when I put the pots in snap mode is the mode o knob is only active when he joined the current value, trs useful when g re 4 shares at the same time.

  Utilization

  Gnrale simple configuration despite the impressive number of rglages. There are as many (see more) rglages as in previous versions, all in a small bote, at beginners Obviously we are a little skeptical ...
  
  
  
  The edition of the sounds is very simple using the Virus Control, I have not had the courage to try a manual edition via 5 pots and tap the buttons, but I think that a good interface with a lot of pots will be faster if you want ncessaire CRER from scratch.
  
  
  
  Manuel clear to the grip (with a few strokes of humor penss well, it&#39;s enjoyable when you start) you want by ds against the matriser bte manual is the only English and in PDF format, it&#39;s not a top. So I put that 8 / 10.

  Sounds

  The sounds are perfect my styles (electro, techno, trance), but I suspected. What surprised me though, is the incredible eclectic of bte: I will change almost every week history of style to go around!
  
  
  
  Sounds are trsralistes in terms of pure synthse. The vocals are a bit of heat but as the virus is generally east of the synthetic TRS, we gain this kind of an ct l ism hyper hyper modern artificial (!)
  
  
  
  Effects effective and of good quality. The reverb is not transcendent, but it dfend. The delay is of incredible precision (it&#39;s hard to return the soft APRS). Say anything about other, more correct than the whole.
  
  
  
  The expression is the thing I was most bluff at first: this synth is rel! After months of searching for a dark groove and expressiveness in plugins coteux sometimes it was just the impression of playing in the same court.
  
  
  
  I love the banks and Acid Arpeggiator presets containing trs trs motifs and expressive. The CATEGORY Drums is a bit poor, but APRS while there are machines for a.

  Overall Opinion

  I&#39;ve had two weeks, and since I sleep less, I work less, but I&#39;m happy.
  
  
  
  What I like most: the size and despite the size and incredible performance, and re-enable the relevance of the three pots of rglage (the presets are great tudis in this sense) the expression trs drives sounds, VST interface which allows publishing and management of hyper sounds simple.
  
  
  
  What I like least: the plugin only delivered in beta (but with two small bugs which disappear when used independently).
  
  
  
  This is my first hardware synth, but I dj shelved most of my VST. So Obviously I do not regret at all.
  
  
  
  Excellent qualitprix despite appearances: it is small, the number of pots and shares is much lower than in the desktop version or another, but the 50-voice polyphony me because what ultimately DCID are 16 parts so the polyphony does not play more than 4 instruments? When other synths of the same size on some forums you can read a comparative imbcilit hallucinating: THE FIRST COST you understand why it is 1100 and not 350!
  
  
  
  I would do the same choice with closed eyes, her ample Access MRIT reputable, and this virus is a worthy successor to the previous version.

  audiothingy23's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Expander v / a n last of the family of Virus TI SERIES. 50 voice poly complexity of following the patch, all of 4 from rpart multitimbral.
  
  
  
  - Mm audio engine shares the other hand IT that there is only one dsp on the snow against two of the IT desktop / thriller / kb. I will not remake the doc to see the site for yourself! : P
  
  
  
  - The new IT bnficient the integration of Total Access that allows you to use the synth as a sound card and edit the settings of the catch via bcanne a virus control. 2in and 2 and 3 in out of the expander / 3 output pairs internal usb mode.
  
  
  
  - Os Updated rgulierement and many that resulted dpart version, we even had a right good lot of novelty in the last update in May! cca was worth the wait once before you buy!

  Utilization

  - Very little snow the knob is the portable version of the desktop. 3 knob controller for many parameters at once and of course the two controller knob cut off reso and I never get tired of the grind quality of the filters of the machine: p
  
  
  
  - It all installs quickly, maj s regular bone and the editor. RAs on this point.
  
  
  
  - The edition of his is done via the menus on the Bécanne or via the editor's much more convenient! key provides access to edit various parameters of the patches: ocs 1 / 2 osc / filter / mod / env / fx / arp ... two easy or expert mode to see you up or you want to go ...
  
  
  
  - Publisher's Virus Control is very well done there bcp menu of options via simple and well REPRESENTATIVES, no latency mode using a VST / RTAS / etc.
  
  
  
  - Doc in french tutorial with the main sequencer for the march. damage that viruses have no IT No forum worthy of the name or if you know of any good let me know! no cd to install, however Fautré go through the Access website or we find the last update for IT.

  Sounds

  We do aa, may be to me what is best in terms of V / A. that the user vsti curse me, but yes. there is no foto!
  
  
  
  Just the preset sounds live out of the box, I'm exaggerating a little but is a good work of sound designer Rob Papen and Richard Devine to name a few.
  
  
  
  Yes it suits my type of music (electro / EXPE) even if c is the sound of raw synth to do the layer and resampler but left with an excellent base. Absolutely what I was looking for.
  
  
  
  Good range of fx, good quality with many rglages. Attention polyphony, however, consumes a lot of reverb DSP that what we say.

  Overall Opinion

  My little Ti snow has just one week! what I love most?
  
  
  
  Sound, filters, clear and precise grain or fat and a desire snoring ... the choice of models and osc, the new wave of table, I discover a lil lil opportunities, the small size of the beast (by the way it must be the ratio euro per gram's most expensive market lol)
  
  
  
  m'tonne it every day and that he will continue to evolve as people in their comunity Access listen and work hard to use it to improve the machine and its implementations of new features. And yes it is c is expensive but you do not care no! (Follow my eyes) Strangely what I like least is his cot c V / A even if the pad lead bass have nothing to envy a mini moog or otherwise. The classic sound is too well known ca stands out not really but that competition is a good c V / A is going to ask him to deny his raison d'etre.
  
  
  
  before buying j prvu had to take a Waldorf Blofeld but as he was not available I j DCID to take the plunge and make a virus. Before the virus have j possder other V / a keyboard or G2 as analog as 20 ms for exmple.
  
  
  
  The waldorf or develops a product of recycled Previous patent even at a good price is nothing new ca is a hybrid of q and microwave, a Socit which borders on here must balance . Access or from the Ti is the product of many years of research by a costly Socit the top of his art! is not j have invested foto: p
  
  
  
  C 1100 euro is not given but if I re ct a referrer! C Ti is all the same, apart from that of the can take anywhere, there's even a Kensington lock port for the jealous want to get the steal in concert: p
