OS6.5 for the Virus C, KC, Indigo2 and rack XL is the next landmark in our unique software update policy. It underlines the Virus’ OS reputation as the most sought after synthesizer operating system in the industry.

You know the Virus sound, the one that’s a staple in all current hit records from Dance to Hip-Hop to Rock. It’s an amazing sound with almost endless possibilities for creative minds.

Well it ain’t broke and were not fixing it, but we are introducing a whole new Virus sound courtesy of our brand new filter. Modeled from the legendary Mini Moog, this self-resonating filter delivers a Virus sound that is gritty and screaming yet rich and warm, but above all is 100% fresh. It’s like downloading a whole new synth into your Virus.

And it doesn’t stop here. In difference to the Mini Moog you decide on how many filter poles suit your needs. The Access Ladder Filter includes 1 pol [6dB], 2 pol [12dB], 3 pol [18dB] and 4 pol [24dB] variations.

Listen!
btw I got one Exclamation

Oh my goodness Very Happy

Yeah,that's right. Virus is the one of VA synths I like, and also I like this company,because they made also OS improvement for discontinued Virus B, unlike Clavia which leave Nord Modulars upgrades and jumps to G2. I don't like only, on Virus that you need replace battery from time to time, I like more like on Q or Clavia synths some kind of EEPROM i think, so all patches remain there, don't need to be scared for loss of user made patches.Q,Virus C,and G2 or nord lead 3 is my dream set-up.And maybe some Novation Nova.(Unfortunately, they don't make Nova anymore, they make Ks-shit.,which is bad choice if compare to nova line).This new filters is also very resource eaters Wink

Hi Micro
Can you explain what's wrong with the KS, compared to Nova?
I thought it was supposed to be an improvement.

Nice Avatar!

One of the members of our group, The Amaranth Signal, uses a K-S rack. He loves it. But I have been reading complaints regarding noises. Our member has never made mention of it though. He also uses a Korg MS 2000 rack and loves it. Some great sounds come out of that box. I wouldn't mind getting one someday if the price is right.

MS 2000 is nice vintage sounding synth.I can take 4 poly, bu no multi is realy bad.KS-rack is ok 4 multi and 16 poly, but again older nova is much better IMHO.Novation bad choice, similiar to Roland leaving jp8xxx line and going to MC grooveee toy making.

Unfortunately the big synth guys out of Japan are going where the money is. ..the hip hop, DJ scene. Some of those boxes have great features, but I can't seem to figure out how to integrate them into what I do. Perhaps I am too old-fashion.

With a little creativity, I think the groove boxes can be adapted to any style of music. Just stay away from the canned beats. They often have nice tweakability, analog style filters, etc. Who says the sequences have to be in 4/4 with bass drum on every beat? If you're into serious mangling, you might need some additional synth or processing power.
