Hehehe...well, hopefully one day all your gear dreams will come true :) Checked out your music... awesome stuff! Love the dark synthy sound. Subscribed! :D
Hehehe... well, the big deal is that I got a limited edition Virus! :D I was already looking for a desktop anyway. The Polar is mainly for live use, and the desktop is more convenient for studio use... the Snow belongs to m.0 :)
Hi! Yes, only 100 units were made. But don't lose hope! I did see one on Ebay once :)
I agree with your whole thought process, and went through the same one with my decision! I already had a Polar, but it was too heavy to bring back and forth to the studio. Snow wasn't enough tactile control for me (though the size rules!)... so the desktop was portable and had all the knobs I need. Same price as the regular one :)
is it true that there were only about 100 pieces made?
i guess i will never get one if so... :(
i want one with total integration so bad, so the c, and others drop off, the Polar is much to expensive, and i dont really need the keys anyways, the snow is a lil bit to less for my taste (if i buy a hardware synth i want knobs^^), so the normal TI is the best option, and i just L O V E white gear :P
20 timbrailty, what else do you need the virus for no?. But i don't mind it, i also have gas, now i only have snow, once i got the money, i'm gonna go get a ti2.
The Virus definitely has amazing power, depth, and a warm, rich sound... there are many reasons to need one :D Hehe, and I wouldn't complain about the Snow. They're so light and portable, I'll probably consider one for touring. The amazing sound engine's what's important :D Though, you may find that less menu diving on a desktop is a big upgrade from the Snow. I guess there's a Virus for every situation ;)
@NerdRevolt - I've had advanced warning that these 2 synths don't get on. The Virus thinks the Kronos has a multiple personality issue and the Kronos thinks it'll catch something from the Virus. I'm getting a relationship counsellor called MAC who says you can't REASON with them but pure LOGIC will be ABLE TO Negotiate a working relationship :)
Hahahahaha.... well, this is definitely not as offensive as those "Stupid bitch, why do you have 3 Viruses?" comments! Though those just make us laugh :P
Hehe...I've answered this question in the comments a few times ;)
The Polar was my first Virus, and he stayed at our rehearsal space since he'd be too heavy to lug back and forth on the train. I got the WhiteOut so I could keep geeking out at home, and the Snow belongs to m.0. We just wanted all the babies together for the unboxing :)
I just have a silly old R3 for when the patching bug hits me, and an X50 when I need some presets... I need a new synth :-/
How do you like your viruses, I'm assuming you love them considering the amount? My main concern is that they'll be too sterile and only sound good drowned underneath delay, do you think this is true?
Hi there! Thanks for all the questions and synth talk :)
I (iLL.F.O.) have the desktop for my home studio. Baby Virus (the Polar) is for live shows and band rehearsals. The 3rd Virus belongs to m.0 :)
We love our Viruses :D They definitely sound anything BUT sterile! Very warm, rich, big sound... and a really versatile synth too. You should at least check one out and see what you think :)
Hahahahaha! Actually, I was planning on getting a desktop for my home studio anyway. The limited edition just happened to be released around that time... say hi to your Virus from us! :D
Hi there! The synth on the left (my right) is the original TI Polar. The WhiteOut desktop is the only TI2 here... if you have the extra money, the TI's are awesome. Tons more features, but the main one being the Virus Control lets you use the Virus as a VST :)
@nuen8 i had an Andromeda, totally different then the virus ti, that i have now, analog has a different sound, rounder, fatter, but the virus def has its own sound, they both are awesome synths, but very different,
I'm trying to find out, they say the Virus Snow is like it's "big brother", I guess they mean the Ti2 or something. Is it really ? I mean sound wise. Does it really have the same sounds and the sound quality? I'm thinking about getting one if that's the case.
Hey! Thanks for your questions... you asked if it has the same sounds and sound quality... what are you comparing it to? The original TI or previous Virus versions?
@NerdRevolt@NerdRevolt Thanks for your reply. Compared to the Virus TI. I was reading up on the Snow and they were saying it has the same sounds as the TI. It was a little confusing because I know there's the Ti desktop and the Polar and didnt know what the Snow was supposed to be.I think now I know.It only has 1000 sounds I guess while the Ti has 5000.So I guess it only offers a fraction of what the Ti offers.But then why do u have 1 if u have the Ti?Whats the difference between'em?
The Snow, Polar, Keyboard, and desktop are all part of the Virus TI series. They all have the same sound engine-- the Snow has half the number of voices (and less inputs/outputs). But if sound quality is your concern, no need to worry... they all have the same brain! :)
I have the desktop and Polar so I can have a "mini" Virus at home, and the Snow belongs to m.0 :)
@NerdRevolt No. I want all of the 5000 or 6000 sounds and all those knobs.So I guess I have to find a used Ti desktop although my DREAM would be the whole thing (keyboard) since for me more than 1/2 of the fun comes from looking at synths, especially Virus Ti. And I can only imagine how beautiful those keys feel when pressed.Too bad its a lil too expensive for me.Well,maybe its not that expensive but me not being a pro musician I cant justify spending $3000 right now.Someday though.
Yeah, the Snow will have less patches, but the Polar, keyboard, and desktop will have all the patches (and knobs) you want! Hopefully the day will come when you get the Virus of your dreams :)
@NerdRevolt Well put ! if you love what you do you will starve to get the money to fund it ! I hate when people make comments like that just because they are not dedicated .
Thanks for the support Flipjunkie! :) It's true... it's a ridiculous assumption for someone to make that because you have expensive gear, you must have tons of "extra cash" laying around. Or that you're "stupid" to spend it on whatever someone else thinks isn't worth it.
We're obsessed with music and synths, and believe in investing in our passion. Sounds like you understand how that goes ;)
Damn it, I wanna touch that. It looks so irresistable as a cake. I have a serious fondness of wanting to touch synthesizers and also look at them.I have an SH-201 and always run my hand all over it.I think the Virus is the most beautiful machine to look at and listen to.I'd be in heaven if I had all those synths.Cool stuff in the other video.Nice place and setting. What's better than palying a synth at 3 am?
Weird, this comment popped up a month later! We can relate to the "wanting to play with synths" addiction. The Virus definitely has a distinct sound... you can really create anything with it!
@NerdRevolt Yup. I have 3 synths and I have to touch them several time every day and look at them even more . I leave'em on just to look at their lights too. They're such beautiful things. That Whiteout Ti is just gorgeous : )
This is an unboxing video-- therefore, there was unxboing :) the iLL is a musician (piano & synth)... check out the Triple Virus Synth jam to see what the hell she does with it, hehe :D
@NerdRevolt haha. i understand. :D I own a sh 101, a x0xb0x, tr 606 and a electribe esx. all very nice machines and some of them are a bit rare too ;)
All the specs are the same as the regular TI2 desktop. The only difference is it's a limited edition white version-- of which 100 units were made worldwide :)
You maybe the only one that can what i want to ask to do.
It will be easy for you to demonstrate that all Virus versio have the same sound, even if Snow got only 1 DSP against 2 on TI & TI 2.
Load the exact same sound (part) on each of them then try, your video will be THE proove ! I'm sure the "Infected" community will very appreciate that.
Haha, it's always fun to wake up to marriage proposals from people you've never met! *blush*
That's a great idea for a video! We'll keep it in mind and will let you know when it happens... we've got some other big projects going on, but it's on the list. Thanks! :D
If you read the text box and my comments, you'd know that the Snow is m.0's and I have a Virus at both studios so I don't have to travel with my Polar. Doesn't seem that stupid to me.
It's so hilarious to me that all the haters' comments are not about the content or quality of this video, but the money spent. Jealous maybe? Or just have nothing better to do?
Anyway... we're sure your life is fun being that bitter and miserable...geez :P
Also, from looking at your channel, it looks like you have no content.
Maybe before you watch other people's videos (which they spend time and energy on) and criticize them, you should at least be making some content yourself.
Til then, I guess it's another troll trying to make himself feel better...
You've got the virus collection! Soo jealous lol. Those things are goddess of synth they even look like heavenly clouds hehe I'm gonna save up for a polar :)
Oh no! The SkriLLascope will never, ever be given up for adoption!!! Though I'm sure others might try to sell theirs later on. They're definitely a very special edition ;D
Jeez, I'm jealous! Haha. Wow, hopefully I'll be experiencing the same thing later this week as I'm planning to buy a Virus Snow. I'm planning on using it with Ableton Live. Does the Virus work well as a plugin? Have fun :)
Yay, enjoy your Snow! Virus Control is brilliant. We both use it with Ableton Live, and you really have the best of the hardware/software worlds. Have fun with your Virus! :D
I love Access (and am sponsered by them) I have been a user since 1997 but I kinda have to wonder here. What's the point of having 3 Virus Ti series synths that all essentially sound the same? If portability is a concern then sack the other two and keep the desktop. That's what I'd do. In the end though it's your money spend it how you like but wouldn't you rather have some sonic variety in your set up? I have a nL2, MWxt, Juno106, and JD800 in addition to my Ti2 keyboard. Just my 5 cents :)
Portability's an issue w/my Polar, so I got the desktop for my home studio and keep the Polar at our rehearsal space. This way I have a Virus everywhere I make music! The Snow is m.0's :)
I feel the range of the Virus sound is so wide that I don't feel limited with it as my only hardware synth. For sonic variety, I use my soft synths :)
Also, though they have the same sound engine... I don't play my Polar or my desktop the same. They both have very different personalities! ;)
Why wouldnt you at least spend the money on other versions of the access virus like B or C which have a different sound, different presets, and are maybe 1000 dollars cheaper while still being perfectly usable?
thats like buying 3 microwaves instead of 1 microwave, 1 oven and 1 refrigerator...lol
The Polar's for band rehearsal and desktop's for home... doesn't seem like going overboard here :)
Why wouldn't I spend money on a B/C? The TI has faster DSP, and way more polyphony (80 as opposed to 24 in the Virus B and 32 in the C). I don't care about presets, since I never use them. I make all my sounds from scratch.
The best things about the TI are the Virus Control (integrates like a VST with your DAW) and new OS's (Arp to Matrix, more FX, oscillator types).
Ok well its your money spend it on 3 microwaves if you want to.
id rather at least have an oven and a fridge though (maybe andromeda or moog in this case) at least for some frickin variety while still having everything that you have now just not having to transport as much
Haha, like I said, the Polar and the WhiteOut are mine. The Snow is m.0's.... technically I have 2 "microwaves".
Or I should say that the Polar is a big oven, while the WhiteOut is a small, portable, special edition toaster oven ;) Both essentially do the same thing, but in different sizes and shapes. I don't have to transport anything when I have a synth at each studio!
And I will definitely get a fridge in the future... but for now I'm very happy ;)
Yay, we feel very lucky! We like all kinds of music... classical, rock, reggae, and electronic are just a few. Awesome to see Camouflage rocking the Polar too!
Yep, all these Viruses have the same sound engine. The Snow and Polar are TI's, while the WhiteOut (desktop) is a TI2, which has a 25% faster processor.
We can't say which one's the best, because we don't play favorites with our toys ;) They're all loved!
Why would you ever need three TI"s???? You could have added a moog, or andromeda to you arsenal, still I must say the all white virus setup is damn sexy!!!!!!!
no doubt virus is a great synth with a european sound. but i think instead of getting 3 of them, you should have bought a japanese (korg radias, roland gaia - just released) and american (dsi tetra, prophet, evolver)...just to get more varied sound.
Actually, I have the desktop for home and the Polar for band rehearsal/live shows. The Snow is m.0's :)
Between the huge power of the Virus (plus my soft synths), I'm very happy with the range of sounds I can create. Though, that won't stop me from getting more synths in the future... hehe ;)
See below for explanations why. My Polar was in the band studio for almost a year straight, and the only time I could play him was jams! Major synth withdrawal :(
@NerdRevolt: g.a.s. is an acronym for "gear acquisition syndrome". Actually it's a common joke under synth freaks who often have to have the latest stuff and can't resist to buy everything that makes any kind of electronic noise. ;) But now that you asked, it turned out that g.a.s. seems to be a real disease. See -> Wikepedia.
*Evil laughter* We definitely suffer from the disease of synthesis addiction! Not necessarily for the latest stuff, but the yummiest :)
We've formed a support group for synth cyborgs suffering from The Disease. Maybe one day, we'll be able to escape the outside world through our machines ;)
This question's been addressed in our previous comments, but the answer's simple... The Snow is m.0's, the Polar is my band studio synth, and the WhiteOut is my home studio synth.
@ jdmmade:
No one was saying that more Viruses= more badassness. If you're happy with our TI, and we're happy with ours, we don't really see what the problem is! :)
@NerdRevolt :) oh ok fair enough ...as i said i couldnt blame you either way, i just bought a ti2 ....the black suits me better i think :) but she is a beaut
They're all beautiful machines with the same genius brains :) Though, no 2 synths have the same personality. Baby Virus and the SkriLLascope have *way* different voices ;)
SO JEALOUS! Check my music. I want your goods.

@NerdRevolt Yup. I have 3 synths and I have to touch them several time every day and look at them even more . I leave'em on just to look at their lights too. They're such beautiful things. That Whiteout Ti is just gorgeous : )

@NerdRevolt indeed, indeed, what is the exact difference between the white version and the other version?
pomfrit93 1 year ago
@pomfrit93:
All the specs are the same as the regular TI2 desktop. The only difference is it's a limited edition white version-- of which 100 units were made worldwide :)

@NerdRevolt in 25 years. that gem is gonna be a lot of money worth then ;)

WILL YOU MARRY ME !!! And that Not a Joke
Good Video and good music with it....
I have a request for you:
You maybe the only one that can what i want to ask to do.
It will be easy for you to demonstrate that all Virus versio have the same sound, even if Snow got only 1 DSP against 2 on TI & TI 2.
Load the exact same sound (part) on each of them then try, your video will be THE proove ! I'm sure the "Infected" community will very appreciate that.
Thanks to you and see you in Church Sweety...

Thanks for your lovely comment :P
If you read the text box and my comments, you'd know that the Snow is m.0's and I have a Virus at both studios so I don't have to travel with my Polar. Doesn't seem that stupid to me.
It's so hilarious to me that all the haters' comments are not about the content or quality of this video, but the money spent. Jealous maybe? Or just have nothing better to do?
Anyway... we're sure your life is fun being that bitter and miserable...geez :P

Also, from looking at your channel, it looks like you have no content.
Maybe before you watch other people's videos (which they spend time and energy on) and criticize them, you should at least be making some content yourself.
Til then, I guess it's another troll trying to make himself feel better...

Jeez, I'm jealous! Haha. Wow, hopefully I'll be experiencing the same thing later this week as I'm planning to buy a Virus Snow. I'm planning on using it with Ableton Live. Does the Virus work well as a plugin? Have fun :)

I love Access (and am sponsered by them) I have been a user since 1997 but I kinda have to wonder here. What's the point of having 3 Virus Ti series synths that all essentially sound the same? If portability is a concern then sack the other two and keep the desktop. That's what I'd do. In the end though it's your money spend it how you like but wouldn't you rather have some sonic variety in your set up? I have a nL2, MWxt, Juno106, and JD800 in addition to my Ti2 keyboard. Just my 5 cents :)
Vinylvirus 1 year ago
@Vinylvirus:
Portability's an issue w/my Polar, so I got the desktop for my home studio and keep the Polar at our rehearsal space. This way I have a Virus everywhere I make music! The Snow is m.0's :)
I feel the range of the Virus sound is so wide that I don't feel limited with it as my only hardware synth. For sonic variety, I use my soft synths :)
Also, though they have the same sound engine... I don't play my Polar or my desktop the same. They both have very different personalities! ;)

Why wouldnt you at least spend the money on other versions of the access virus like B or C which have a different sound, different presets, and are maybe 1000 dollars cheaper while still being perfectly usable?
thats like buying 3 microwaves instead of 1 microwave, 1 oven and 1 refrigerator...lol
sdafsar 1 year ago
@sdafsar
@sdafsar:
The Polar's for band rehearsal and desktop's for home... doesn't seem like going overboard here :)
Why wouldn't I spend money on a B/C? The TI has faster DSP, and way more polyphony (80 as opposed to 24 in the Virus B and 32 in the C). I don't care about presets, since I never use them. I make all my sounds from scratch.
The best things about the TI are the Virus Control (integrates like a VST with your DAW) and new OS's (Arp to Matrix, more FX, oscillator types).
:)
NerdRevolt 1 year ago
@NerdRevolt
Ok well its your money spend it on 3 microwaves if you want to.
id rather at least have an oven and a fridge though (maybe andromeda or moog in this case) at least for some frickin variety while still having everything that you have now just not having to transport as much
sdafsar 1 year ago
@sdafsar:
Haha, like I said, the Polar and the WhiteOut are mine. The Snow is m.0's.... technically I have 2 "microwaves".
Or I should say that the Polar is a big oven, while the WhiteOut is a small, portable, special edition toaster oven ;) Both essentially do the same thing, but in different sizes and shapes. I don't have to transport anything when I have a synth at each studio!
And I will definitely get a fridge in the future... but for now I'm very happy ;)

no doubt virus is a great synth with a european sound. but i think instead of getting 3 of them, you should have bought a japanese (korg radias, roland gaia - just released) and american (dsi tetra, prophet, evolver)...just to get more varied sound.

@ lavakava:
Actually, I have the desktop for home and the Polar for band rehearsal/live shows. The Snow is m.0's :)
Between the huge power of the Virus (plus my soft synths), I'm very happy with the range of sounds I can create. Though, that won't stop me from getting more synths in the future... hehe ;)

Isn't it the same thing like your other Virus on your right, just without a keyboard? Besides: a girl with g.a.s. That's quite funny.
Xtra999 1 year ago
@ Xtra999:
See below for explanations why. My Polar was in the band studio for almost a year straight, and the only time I could play him was jams! Major synth withdrawal :(
Oh, and what is g.a.s.?!
NerdRevolt 1 year ago
@NerdRevolt: g.a.s. is an acronym for "gear acquisition syndrome". Actually it's a common joke under synth freaks who often have to have the latest stuff and can't resist to buy everything that makes any kind of electronic noise. ;) But now that you asked, it turned out that g.a.s. seems to be a real disease. See -> Wikepedia.

*Evil laughter* We definitely suffer from the disease of synthesis addiction! Not necessarily for the latest stuff, but the yummiest :)
