Access Virus TI is certainly one of the best synths available. It has it’s own specific characteristics and powerful sounds. No use comparing it with Some cheap VST synths. It’s the price of silver and it sounds like gold. Thank you for this nice video. Playing means never forgetting that brilliant sound ❤️
This was really great, this synth is deep enough to be overwhelming at first...now it seems much easier to approach.
Much appreciated!
Just went through this a 2nd time. Took notes this time and got more out of it. Thank you for this!
Sadowick, without knowing, you are my mentor. All your videos are truly inspirational to me. They are very diverse and very enjoyable to watch. So thank you very much for that. Off to Patreon to support your teaching with a pledge.
Thank you so much!
My thoughts.
Always great to listen to someone who knows a bit of gear inside out. Learnt a lot of new things! Thanks.
Just bought a snow last week. Perfect timing! would rlly like to see more virus videos :)
I've alwyas been using those synths in hardstyle. They have their one sound, really unique, that no other vst can achieve
Virus is such an important stylistic signature in Hardstyle. Brennan, HHZ... all the anthem stuff
how about deep house and pop for example?
3min in and I am already sold after hearing this saw sound. So much more pleasant in sound than the usual saw. And I was actually only considering the TI because of wavetables and multitimbrality... Lets see what the rest of the video brings
I was craving for this synth for years lol. Used all kind of serums to heal the infection. Now i got the thing and its just so fun to play with! Spire is very close though, like almost indistinguishable. Though only for very basic sounds, ti does alot more things.
And it has knobs, add a drumbeat and you can play songs live. Vst control on top of that. Perfect hardware synth.
Glad to hear you beat cancer.
Serum = tin can version of virus. It sounds complex but less warm.
Yourvoice in this video would sound great in some late night talk show about music. Thanks for sharing
Much appreciation you are awesome !!!
Your voice 🎙 just had an amazing 37 min nap. Thanks.
Also amazing videos 👍
Wow very eye opening basics of the virus thank you.
It's a digital synth trying to be an analog synth and it exceeds.
That pretty much sums it up.
There has been some debate around on gear forums whether there will be a TI3. The TI2 still holds up well having come out in 2009 but I was reading that the DSP chips used have been discontinued and they've been working more on the Kemper amps.
Edit:
"Hide your grandma, because the Virus is coming." I had to edit this because I laughed pretty good there.
This is a great intro to the Virus. The when opening Virus control the first time, the temptation is great to just go "meh!, I'll stick to the presets", but this is a great little intro to make it less daunting. (And the rustic "sounds of the 70's" voice doesn't hurt either.)
I'd probably get one of the virus models and pare it with a Supernova 2
kickass trance tag team
Theory: the saw has a rounded contour because Access knows how people actually use saws in synthesis and for those purposes it's better to have an OSC that's not quite as bright as a real, technical saw. At least, that has been my experience.
EDIT: LooL I should have waited 5 more seconds in the video :P
Love my snow :) Love the modulation matrix in TI. Love using it as an fx unit on sounds outside the virus (that the virus cant really do). I do sometimes find myself beefing it up with other vst stuff, but seems everyone does that nowadays.
Thank you for some good examples.
I have had my keyboard TI2 for some time and got it for the manual programming abilities.
Not having read too much of manuals, I got a bit disappointed about the keyboard version not having the extra manual pots that’s been given by the extra layout space.
Never the less, I am glad for your effort to give some glance to us that haven’t delved that deep yet.
Yet I am used to my Kurzweil K2500. Hehe😂
Updated: Do you experience any latency while playing parts in with the TI VST? I have this installed and working with unworkable latency for any fast attack type patches using a remote keyboard and MOTU's DP as the DAW. I've read others experiencing similar latency with more DAWs. Any fixes? Love the software VST otherwise.
Just discovered this Virus VST and it's fantastic and a great update to my TI2. Updated firmware and Access makes this available free. Created a whole new synth. This video is very helpful.
Yeah at the end of the day they modelled the VA very well, the mids and low sound analog
Also not mentioned was the Atomizer function, which adds a hefty amount more versatility to it all. Also routing external audio through it is great. I run a Pulse2 through mine when I want some seriously analog oscillators, but the filter on the Pulse sounds awful, and the Virus is a great way to shape the sound of that better
I would like to see a comparison of the Virus and Serum. It would be cool if you do that! :)
holy shit, that liquid metal wavetable was used in the Lupin the 3rd: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine
I was wondering how to go about making the sounds they used in that show and now I know.
Sadowick blowing minds yet again
Nice video mate!
just wondering if Virus B can achieve that classic dark psy FM we all know from the Ti series
convince me.....with all the "new" synths out there,,,I still want the Virus..is this a good thought? Looking at the Korg Nautilus, Opsix and ? What to do
thank you for this video! It gives an information that you can't find much around internet! I was also hope to hear - and that is my question - is the outputs of the virus ti are dc coupled? If you know. And some others i/o communications with eurorack. Many people i think are wandering exactly this! :)
I like this sound! Sounds raunchy! I know analog is the in thing but i don't really care. I like a crunchy, harsh, dark sound a lot. I'm more into rock and industrial type shit and I think this would cover that
I LOVE my virus ti2.... honestly it was my 1st hardware synth and i still think i won't need something else very soon (besides a rytm mk2) :D currently trying to figure out how to deal with input -> TI2 FX Section -> Output 2 or 3... a video on that would be great :P
With the virus wavetables now available to use in VSTs, is the TI really as useful these days?
Is a virus B worth buying in 2018? I feel the TI is overpriced. Or should I go with a novation peak as my work horse synth?
Yes and now. New ti2 maybe overpriced, but i got used one for decent price. Novation peak is good, but in my country it costs 2500$, yes, you read it right. 1300$ is common price for NP in Europe, but not in my country.
Mmmm as much as I think this synth is good I got the Nord Rack2 recently and it’s pretty sweet. I’m more of an actual analog synth fan so I’d have to go full on analog if I bought another poly synth. As for your lack of interest in analog I’m surprised you don’t find it enjoyable but I don’t know what you’ve played. I had a sub phatty and that was a killer analog sound. But I got a lot of love for my 0-coast and Minibrute too.
I enjoy analogue synthesis and have quite a bit of modular gear but I'm looking for something I can take to gigs easily and make emulate some of my modular patches. Can the virus do this kind of "odd" sound design? Most of the demos I see for the virus are either full of basic subtractive analogue basses or big "lush" pads. These kinds of sounds don't really interest me.
If I am to buy a Virus TI2 desktop unit to pair with my MPC for live IDM/braindance and experimental music will I regret it?
Have a Virus Ti and Virus C. They are the closest thing I have to true analogue. I just wished they spent more time on the TI part... While they did add alot from the initial release, it has been a few years and it's starting to fall behind especially with TI into the DAW. #djrtnyc
Hash tag game on fleek daaawg
Just curious why you would have a polar and a snow? I sold my polar a while back and sometimes I regret it.
access virus is great, but on my ti keyboard the sound is much better if i dont use the vst and play it live.
Cool vid , i have virus ti ...my question is there any difference in the sound between kc and ti ..using the classic waveforms ?
It WAS great. If only my Virus Snow TI could be used with current Macs... i would still be fucking using it but Access has completely disappeared as far as updates or tech support is concerned
do you got any timing issues?,if not how on earth do you handle the ti,tried every clocking option(ext.midi,int. clock etc.)Ti jitters all the time,do you got any advice¿,please...
Hiya buddy, Buy yourself a top of the range u.s.b cable, designed to transmit high definition digital audio, QED are good make, also make sure the usb cable is as short as possible around 1m, using a longer cable over 1m can cause loss of performance resulting in freeze's etc etc, also get yourself a really good high speed pcie usb card for you p.c and only use it for your virus, using usb hubs on your pc with many usb cable plugged into it with the virus can cause freezes and jitters to, so purchase a top quality pcie and dedicate it to your virus, also reinstall the latest virus ti firmware, if you follow these steps your virus shouldnt have anymore problems.
Also if you have a ti snow dont bother with the multitimbral performance if you do complicated high dsp patches, and use little effects, use vst effects instead :)
There is a recent discovery which was posted in the facebook psytrance producers forum... try using a soundcard with a digital/SPDIF type output, and connecting that output to the Virus TI's input. Set the TI to slave to the soundcard's word clock, and you may find the overall stability will improve.
Great vid! Can you recommend a good synth that is about as good as the Virus Ti but is supported in Studio One?
what are talking about. a DAW is like a tape machine. It does not support a synth or vice versa. There are some Yamaha synths that work with Cubase, but the two companies go together. I thiink Yam owns Cubase. It is more DAW control on the keyboard. Synths and DAW's do not have anything to do with each other, except some DAWs run MIDI but that applies to any MIDI synth.
Great Video. I just bought mine 3 days ago. i love it! May I ask a question though? : Is there a way to stop the BPM/LFO light from flashing? Thank you! By the way I have the TI snow....:)
You can turn down the intensity of the led lights to 0 in the menu.
Melanholix Music Thank you! I will try when I will have... access to my Virus because now I am stocked in another location by another virus... :(
I love my Virus TI, the only issue is that Access is no longer supporting it for apple
the version for windows and mac are the same ones
Yeah but it’s no longer supported by access with the new Apple OS
best virusfree vst site guys?
I have a Virus TI 1 (desktop model). I've had it for almost a year, and I'm still discovering a lot of it's functions. How does it compare to using it as a VST, rather than the hardware? I've never done the comparison myself throughout the time i've had it lol.
Are you asking in terms of sound? If so, there is no difference.. It's exactly the same DSP.
Has the Virus ti snow also that kind of dark synthesis?
Anyone here know how to fix the backlight on the LCD display? The display works, just the backlight is gone.
Why do you have all the 3 models?
Hi man! Do you know TI Snow works on mac osx 10.13.6?
Where can i get this spectrum?
Hi do you get this software if you buy Virus C ?
how is VC working for you guys? i have sync problems pretty constantly with it.. drives me insane
i have it on it's own PCI-e USB card but it still has issues.. not pops/crackles but timing sync issues
what about aphex? How can you not like analog? Its so much more alive.
How do I setup two different sounds from my virus ti2 for recording on reason? I am a new to this :/
i agree. The whole "analog" hype today is based on a few good synths back in the day. Now everybody thinks as long as something is analog it magically makes it sound good.
you're doing a lot of generalizing with your "everybody" talk. In other words, you know "nobody." there is a mountain of terrible synths both analog and digital.
@@snoolee7950 Doesn't make my point less viable 😑
Today I’m getting my TI2 Darkstar via trade for Matrixbrute
How do I get the Virus VST plugin for Cubase and Ableton? It would be cheaper than buy a 2k box!
It's just a controller for the box. It's not a softsynth
which keys midi controllers do you use?
I NEEDZ that in my life
how do you afford so much gear?? :'(((
I would appreciate your take on the polyphony of the Virus. I have just finished designing a pad sound for a slow chord progression and I was struggling with polyphonic notes overlapping. Here is my attempt in pad sound designing :
soundcloud.com/freemansel/a-minor-pad-chord-progression-with-the-virus-ti
Any feedback would be great!
Is there a way to get automation on each track not only on main where virus ti plugin sits?
Synthetic Md Yes, even in Live 10 beta nothing changed - can’t automate Ti plugin from another track :€
the tight release on your gate is jarring. Loosen that up a notch ;)
meant attack. Also great tutorial, love those synths
Virus Intensifies
"80 voices, which is insane"
*laughs in Waldorf Kyra*
I love the sound of analog.. but prefer emulated analog sounds, because all the things a digital/va synth like this has to offer more...
Love my virus but if you want a juicy rich sounding synth this isn’t for you.
Can't listen to 40 minutes of hypnosis speech putting me to sleepy time. Nice to skip around though.
DeadMau5 has a virus ti desktop that he says he never uses in the studio because the sound quality is bad.
Of course his studio is set up for atmos surround sound, so there’s that.
He mostly produces through a single analog synth, and of course all his outboard gear.
What’s your opinion on this?
The presets is a bit low quality, but if you make stuff from scratch with the ti2 you can get amazing results.
I love my ti2.
SUBHUMAN .COM USA so, basically, you’re saying DeadMau5 is correct?
Neon P Lotus Deadmau5 says a lot of things.
Tomáš Holec that’s really not an answer, is it? I am inclined to agree with the one before you, wherein they stated they have a virus, however also explain the difference between the analog and the digital virus, which, to be honest, means I will look at a nord analog, or maybe an elektron 4, and put the virus on the back burner, unless I find a good deal.
SUBHUMAN .COM USA thank you, as I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. If I’m going for an external synth, I want an analog sound.
I’m thinking the virus is more like serum, or synthmaster, with better graphics, and the ability to move processing off my Mac.
I’ll probably look at an external analog synth, but without a keyboard (I can input midi via my nektar panorama P6 - still trying to push them to redesign that thing. Hell, I’d redesign it for them)
I would possibly get an Arturia, or a nord, or maybe that new one made by novation. I think that’s analog. I’ll have to check. If look st a mother 32, but that’s way too coarse for me.
I’ll think about an access virus a little further down the road.
analog rules 303 & 909 are still the the best, hear them live under your hand and you'll see why the whole industry is still trying to recreate them. sound of 90% of the best electronic....
Who uses 303 or 909 without effects? 303 without delay and distortion? Those are great and classics but youd be stuck in that acid sound. And id say 303 and 606 is better combo.. 909 goes better with va say jp8000, nord, or virus. This synth is an all in one machine to make good sounds for track. Oh btw, good luck with chords on 303.
IMO, obviously
the sound of being expensive....it's like an iphone...people say it has that extra edge compared to other phone...untill i bought it and get pissed 🤣
so you're preoccppied with the comfort zone sounds of your youth? hmm I do not think that has anything to do with analog and digital. you ought to check out Ulrich Schnauss.
I dont like this
I owned this sucking beast for 4 years and is boring like hell ..
Pros are using this because they have quick access to some commercial sounds that will stay good in the mix and they are in a hurry .
So the only benefit is quick access to sounds that will sound not so great but pros don't care because they are after money and not gold sound.
If you take the TI sound out from the mix is poor and sterile .
You can achieve those sound with plugins with ease ..
Trance is boring and TI is famous for this trance crap ..
With TI the analog emulations are crap .
For example VST "the legend" beats Virus really bad in terms of analog emulation .
Poor sound
Diamond Phillips lol
GOOD RIDDANCE!
Ridiculously overpriced. Huge money waste.
German sound means a sound without soul .
Virus TI is a synth with a dark synthetic sterile sound which have no soul or beauty like a Moog for example and is full of bugs !!.
So good luck integration !.
When I hear Virus I see dark.
I owned this sucking beast for 4 years and is boring like hell ..
Pros are using this because they have quick access to some commercial sounds that will stay good in the mix .
Usually they use Ti only for some sounds so you won't feel the dark because other sounds will compliment the poor tone of TI and they use external effects to make the TI tone more rich .
Is not worth losing the money for such synth
You want warm Japanese sound get a Roland. Or rich, crisp American sound, get an American analog.
Awesome :)
