Some people complain that modern synths are not as good [regarding sound] as the old analog gear but if you look at the 'Gary Numan Telekon mini tour-Stage set up' video, Gary himself praises the Access Virus [about 2 mins. into the vid.] I don't have a Virus myself but one of the original 'kings of synth' gives his opinion regarding reliability and emulation and it's an interesting video.Depeche Mode also make use of the same synth
Nice vid. Can you suggest any good videos or books to learn sound design. I picked up a Access Virus a few months back but yet to get stuck in. I now playing around is the best way to learn but i love tutorials also.
@jigneish On the virus.info official site, in the "tutorials" section there is a VERY good pdf tutorial called "synthesizer programming english" (or spanish, if you wish).
@DJPeteJames - Yes, I suppose you could, although you won't cure the fact that the sound smears if you drop the pitch. I really think analogs retain their punch and structure better if you lower the pitch. Not bashing the Virus though because it's great and reaches areas that vintage analogs couldn't dream of. My advice for a setup would be 2 VAs like a Nord or Virus or Waldorf and one analog mono - cash permitting!!
@Loshpot it depends on the analogue i have played a few that dont and some that do, i really am not sure it is an analogue vs digital though because there are some vsts that handle low end better than some analogues.
@DJPeteJames - because the Virus sound is essentially wide stereo, whereas analog monos sound like they cut straight down the middle a bit more. Also, if you keep dropping the pitch in a Virus bass, it eventually becomes smeared and loses punch, whereas in an analog mono it retains its punch better. I happen to think that bass in the Virus is still very good though.
@Loshpot yes that is true but there are genres of music built off the back of digital and va synthesis that analogue synths struggle to cope with :) they both have their uses and both are incredible .....at the end of the day its the brain in control that is the most important part :) the synth is a tool. I have heard people getting sounds out of these synths that could have been made with free average soft synths .... but whatever :) as long as they are smiling who am i to judge
ok so i added a midi out, and "connected" it to a patch on my virus..
so i put a midi file in the midi out, but when i click export as, and render.. the freeze warning comes from the virus.. and the result is in an audio file with some annoying noices..
Some heavy midi signal flow will make this synth sputter and glitch. I get this while triggering it with a monomachine, (more then 4 channels at once), into a multi patch. Basically, intense midi signal flow will make it choke, this could include a lot of points on a midi CC file
route all of your mixer channels to something else than the master bus, set up an edison in FX slot 1 of this "new" master channel, set it to record "on play", press record on edison, press play in FL's transport bar.
Does anyone know if I can run this through my DSI poly evolver if I buy the desk top? I rather spend half-ish insted of buying the whole keyboard. Thanx in advance
@Barelinio Thanks!!! May I ask what is triggering this? Are you using a computer to get the sounds out by running a sequence or? Sorry bro, I have no desktops yet , just keyboard versions...thanks in advance and for uploading!!! Peace
yes there are about 1000 presets on the machine and NO you need a keybaord or a sequenzer to play the sounds. you can also build easylie your own sounds. in the near future i will post a video how to create own sounds on a virus Ti.
So u have to buy both the desktop and the synthesizer for virus TI? :s
cause im planning to buy the Virus TI Desktop? And my friend told me that i just had to connect the desktop to my computer? I use FL Studio and i hope it can connect to that
I decides to go with the radias (R3) because of the HUGE price difference.. I was really digging the dark Virus, but when i looked at a bunch of user reviews, a lot of people actually compared the radias to other synths as being warmer.. but when compared to the Virus, oman fkkn the Virus has that darkk like nothing else.. maybe one day when I'm rich and famous I'll get a Virus lol.
the sound at the beginning sounds like the synth used in "Hooligans Never Surrender" by Don Diablo and the sound @ 1:20 sounds like "Grindin" by The Pitcher 10/5*
That made me so happy! I've been swithering on whether I should go for it and upgrade my Virus Classic to a TI2...this has definitely helped the case for. My poor, poor wallet. Thanks!
What's the problem if it does have USB1? This is a synth not a sampler. It's all small MIDI data not audio data so there's no real need for hugh data bandwidth anyway.
Not strictly true - the USB streams audio into your DAW.
Dont worry too much about USB speeds - the reality is that the Virus sounds better when run through its analog outs. This is a fact of life for all synths that have the USB capability. If you want a warmer, richer sound....use the analog outs.
Access Virus it's a synth for electronic music, well better said "it's THE SYNTH for electronic music", if you like pianos and that stuff forget it.
I've head the Radias and it sounds like a soft synth.
Korg is the most overrated company in the world just because they've made an $8000 synth with a CD Recorder (WOW!). What will be the next, a $20000 synth with a cellphone or what?
Once you go Korg, you don't want more (more Korgs a mean)
@Adeptmind No, the virus is a hardware synth. But you can control your parameters from within your DAW, you can even send audio to and from your Virus TI hardware. However, it doesn't work that good with Logic and another audio interface (logic seems to want ONE audio interface).
You can assign up to 16 midi channels to 16 sounds of a multi soundset, however I found it easier to use the TI as an audio source and multitrack. Uses up no CPU. One of the greatest Synths ever.
Hey, I have a question regarding the TI and TI2. I am using an M-Audio Firewire Solo Audio Interface and so my question is if I could use the Virus with it ? do I just need to plug it through USB ? I have Unbalnced and Balanced (I use my monitors for Balanced) and SPDIF ports in my soundcard, and XLR Phantom power, and a guitar input. do I need to pkug into SPDIF or anything other than usb ? and will it record my MIDI moves or just record as audio if it works ?
Hey, i have a virus and is the only gear i use in my productions, you can run the virus through the USB and it will control all midi and audio for the virus, so all u really need to do is install the virus on to your computer and plug the USB in. hope that solves your question :D you could even use the Virus as your main soundcard for your set up, i do and it works much better than my EMU soundcard (Iknow M Audio are a better company though)
thank you so much for your comment :] I'm thinking of going for RME Fireface 400 anyways since I'll need for recording and good converters, or I could save for better monitors, what would you do ?
sorry for long long delay on a reply, personally, the virus is good enough for using as your soundcard, but at the end of the day the choice is yours, ive never had a problem using my virus as a soundcard. i would use the virus and get the better monitors :D but its what will work best for you that counts
i have the keyboard version for 6 days now!i really think the money was worth spend!amazing posibbilities!dont buy a synth without hearing first this one!as for the new ti i think that the ti1 sould do the trick..the thruth is though i enjoy the delays tha the new has!
even though the new Ti2 is out, they also release a new Operating System update for the original Ti1 - 3.0.0 (there is now a higher one) this has added all the features the Ti2 also has, so the only thing you really miss out on from the Ti2 is the 25% more calculating power, it would be nice to have the Ti2 but i wont lose any sleep, my Ti1 is more than powerful enough still, the Virus Ti was easily my best musical purchase, once you get into it you wont want to use any other synth, i dont - SJR
How do you think the sound is, I mean I have heard alot of softplugs and they do sound fat nowadays. But are they still not as good as the real thing. I have a hard time hearing my Virus being better. But the new softsynths have lots of compression it sound, and supermany effects that kinda fool you that the sound is better. What's your opinion about soft vs Hard? If we don't take the extra bonus feeling of turning knobs into the comparison.
I have tried to once sell all hardware and go all software...but the problem with software is there is no upper limit to CPU power, so you can always get pauses, crashes, etc even with the best sound card.
hardware is a lot more reliable. that being said, i prefer roland vsynth, korg radias over the virus for a VA.
but if you want virus, i would get the spectralis2 instead, it sounds better because of REAL analog filterbank and great sequencer, synthesis types, etc.
Yeah, I have the Virus C myself, the table version. How do you think it is different, is it alot better ? I mean Virus C is already a great synth, but I guess they have fatter presets that you have to tweak longer in your Virus C. Maybe easier to make fat sounds also?
the ti2 is better all the way. just because of more polyphony about 80 voices and more efx types and 25% faster than the ti1 and of course faster as the C =) the Ti (totaly integration) feature is the realy best thing. so you can use the Ti as a VST plugin but sound will all the time processed in the Ti. so no cpu power is lost.
Thank's for that info, I am really in a mood for buying something. I have to think if I will go full analog this time or maybe upgrade my C to this TI2. I love synths, haha, softplugs are not the same.
hi! you might consider the VirusTI1. Get your hands on the TI1 and program some sounds. If the DSP meter is not overloaded, then you don't need the extra 25% DSP power of the TI2. The sounds are compatible and the Virus Control 3.0 works on both.
one way to tell how good a soft synth sounds compared to a hardware synth is, strip all effects off both synths you want to compare, choose the same waveforms and then play around with both and see which has a nicer, thicker and more colourful sound. there are some great softsynths out there, but i still prefer the hands on feel and sound of hardware :D
I've used most VA's and softsynths...and without a doubt...the Virus is the best sounding of the lot. If you want warm, weighty, rich tones....and you need the flexibility of a VA....then the Virus is the only one which really cuts the mustard.
Save yourself alot of money and hassel and go straight for a Virus. I wasted time trying to like a Nord 2, 3, JP8000, AN1x, 25+ softsynths...and the Virus just blew them all away.
And what about Nords case and the Keys? Is it a joke or what? It looks like a $50 casio painted in red and grey.
Nowadays you can buy a new Access Virus Snow for only $1000 (I mean only because 10 years ago a shitty rompler with shitty pianos, shitty guitars and shitty brass doubled that price).
