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.
