Access Virus TI Totally Integrated
Synthesizer Keyboard
The Access Virus TI offers the freedom
of software synthesis, the power of computer connectivity, and
independent hardware portability and control. It has 61 semi-weighted
keys with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. The dual DSP engine
serves up 512 RAM and 2048 ROM patches with 80-stereo-voice polyphony
(average) as well as a powerful array of oscillators, filters, LFOs,
envelopes, and effects. You also get a per-patch programmable
arpeggiator and studio-grade 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion. The Virus
TI Keyboard links to your computer with VirusControl, a companion
software product which ports the hardware synth into a host sequencer
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.Totally
Integrated SynthesizerA scalable USB link connects the Virus to a Mac
or PC for total integration of synth and studio. The VirusControl
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 Virus hardware to appear as a multichannel VST/AU
soft-synth with up to 4 sub-mixes (or 2 stereo). Access' proprietary
driver technology makes Virus TI the world's 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 total recall, plus editor and librarian
functions with no SysEx or 3rd party software hassles.The 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
Remote Mode 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. It's a
powerful addition that greatly increases the value of the synth's
studio footprint.The Legendary Sound of Access: EvolvedFor 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.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 gr
