Access Virus TI2 Keyboard Synthesizer

Announcing the new VIRUS Total Integration (TI) Line of synthesizers! Access now leads the world in a completely new direction with the convergence of musical instrument and pro-audio. TOTAL INTEGRATION uses Accesss own innovative technology to greatly expand the VIRUS Synthesizer range, which has resulted in an hugely advanced stage/standalone instrument, while,at the same time extending the capabilities of the beast with a suite of new studio integration features.

Brand new synthesizer features include greatly increased polyphony, two new oscillator types,a per-patch programmable arpeggiator,sixteen by two delay/reverb fx,embedded singles in multi mode,and much more. The new TI synths also hook up to your computer with VIRUSControlA™,a software program supplied with the Virus which ports the hardware synth into a host sequencer such as Cubase or Cakewalk for use as a sample-accurate VST/AU instrument,simultaneously offering 2-way audio and MIDI connectivity, control surface functionality,editor and librarian functions,and more PLUS Open Virus TI 3d annimation.
A scalable USB link connects the VIRUS to a Mac or PC for total integration of synth and studio. The VIRUSControlA™ plug-in automatically detects and connects the synth,ensuring a hassle-free configuration every time.
From inside a host application, the plug-in enables the new VIRUS hardware to appear as a multi-channel VST/AU soft-synth with up to 4 sub-mixes (or 2 A— stereo). Access proprietary driver technology makes VIRUS TI the worlds first hardware synthesizer with sample-accuracy timing and a delay-compensated audio/MIDI connection.
Seamless interconnectivity also provides a real benefit in the software sequencer environment. All multi-timbral sounds and settings used for a project are stored within it with the plug-in, for snapshot A‹A‹total recallA›A› plus editor and librarian functions with no SysEx or 3rd party software hassles.
The new VIRUS hardware is also well-equipped to capitalize on the power of Total Integration. With 24-bit 192KHz balanced analog, S/PDIF I/O and MIDI in and out ports, the new VIRUS is well-suited for use as the main audio and MIDI I/O center for your entire rig. These functions are especially practical for the laptop studio, offering an unmatched range of features and capabilities from one product.
Additionally,a new A‹A‹Remote ModeA›A› allows the VIRUS hardware to become a control surface for any MIDI-capable device or software, mapping each of the 33 knobs to a specific MIDI message. TI ships with a great selection of templates and includes 32-user memories for custom controller maps. Its a powerful addition that greatly increases the value of the synths studio footprint.


Of course,TI is still a VIRUS, with all the soul of its legendary predecessors, but for Total Integration, the power and performance of the synth engine have been taken to new extremes, thanks to a newly optimized core which delivers unprecedented performance. For starters, polyphony is more than doubled, to 80 voices under average conditions.

And the sound? Phenomenal! Alongside the award-winning VIRUS oscillator models, two completely new types have been added. First is the real Wavetable oscillator model. This unique algorithm can blend waves to create evolving motion or switch between them to create gritty lo-fi textures.

Also new is HyperSawA™. It taps up to 9 parallel sawtooth oscillators (plus 9 optional subs!) for colossal classic layers. The number of voices can be changed smoothly in realtime. Surprisingly, HyperSaw doesnt require additional power or reduce your polyphony! With 9 main plus subs per voice, the VIRUS TI can play over 1800 oscillators in realtime! Now imagine Access award winning filters, including MiniMoog cascade emulation, on raw, pulsating WaveTables or insanely fat HyperSaws. With these new features, the Virus has never sounded better!

The Mod Matrix has also been expanded to include six sources with three destinations each (eight-teen routings total) for greater real-time control and patch programming freedom. The new A‹A‹Knob Quantize ModeA›A› syncs the effect of real-time or sequenced parameter changes to a pre-selected clock interval. Changes are updated on the selected pulse and held until the next,resulting in staggered parameter movements like those produced by a step sequencer.

New and existing Virus owners will love the addition of a programmable arpeggiator! Users can create and store their own rhythmic pattern in every patch.

Enhanced with new power and resources, Multi Mode now embeds 16 patches for self-contained sounds you can tweak and transform without overwriting your singles or affecting other Multi programs. Use it to build impressive layers,splits, or poly-arps for performance or recording. A mode for use with sequencers is also provided,emulating the classic Multi which loads sounds from within the single banks.

In either case, the complete sound engine is always available to each Multi part, including dedicated delay and separate reverb fx for all 16 sounds. In effect, the full VIRUS TI single modes is replicated 16 times!
