I knowingly have never heard a Virus, but they certainly look good and have some amazing features. This integrating into the computer seems like the way to go.

My only objection to this company is they seem to discontinue models every few years. Roland, Alesis, Moog, Korg, etc. seem to support a line for many years. The Korg MS2000 or the Alesis QS series have been made for years. I think within 4 years Access has had the Virus B, C and now TI.

The demo files are weird. It seems like Access is trying to sell the Virus to the polka board crowd. I have used the Virus myself, and it´s a mean synth machine. The signature sounds you get off the Virus are nothing like the demo polka medley.

Shocked

Hmm.. what do I know. The sounds I got out of the PPG were nothing like what people would think a PPG could make at all.

My point is that the Virus is an excellent synth. I am not completely convinced about the UI layout though, but it is worth checking out.

Yes, I'm sure it's an excellent synth. I meant I would avoid the sounds, not the synth. Laughing

I would like to finally get my hands on one of these, but I imagine with all the preorders out there, it will probably be months before one shows up in my town ...

I had my desktop TI yesterday. I could'nt boot up with the beta os. Finally fiddling with the booting up and the installation of the new os, it's awesome. Yes, it works in DP4.6 as AU. Very Happy

So I tried it today.

I must say, I'm very disappointed.

Oscillator aliasing was always the achilles heel of the Virus synths, being quite audible at osc frequencies which were still in a musical range. (I don't think we care much about aliasing dog whistles) Abd as much as I always liked the Virus otherwise, it's aliasing issues always kept me from buying on.

So you'd think that, with a whopping new DSP engine and 192kHz clocking, they'd manage to finally sort this out -but no: the aliasing is still exactly the same! And it's really bad. (In fact, it has reminded me how good the anti-aliasing algorithms on the Clavia G2 are.)

This issue might be not so important for many but it killed the TI for me. Uninteresting. Too bad.

Whats with the huge number of maintenance updates? Each one starts with "improved stability and timing". Any TI owners out there? How bad is it????
