THANKS FOR WATCHING!! SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CHICAGO SYNTH EXCHANGE!!

[@ceemor3404]

You made a minor grammatical error in the description box where you say "still here" instead "still hear" as in to listen to.

[@PK-ct1bm]

Christoph Kemper is nothing but a genius. And so are the people who contributed all these patches to the community.

[@sK3LeTvM1]

The TI is a classic synth. Whatever form factor you have.

[@PvKAmsterdam]

True!!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

probably one of the best synths ever made.

[@henkhansum5507]

Probably? 😆

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

@@henkhansum5507 hard to say any one synth is the GOAT but I would clarify my comment that the Virus easily wins GOAT in all time synthesizers. Hell even the new 5k Waldorf Quantum cannot do as much from multi-timbral perspective. Glad I have one of the last Virus synths made.

[@Distortic]

After over a decade and probably dozen other synths, my desktop TI 1 is still my go to synth for sound design. Its a shame they don’t support the total integration anymore. The Audio DACs are the cleanest I have ever used and i miss using it as an audio interface.

[@PvKAmsterdam]

I was also disappointed for a long time that my editor no longer worked for the Access Virus. But the AURA editor helps me out. It has Native Apple Silicon Support, and most interesting ....USB MIDI support for macOS 10.12 and greater! So you no longer have to use MIDI cables... just USB cable (unless you also want to connect to other hardware, of course)

[@DerDanko]

Unprecedented, this synth, especially the TI2! When the Virus TI Polar came out I was about to invest in some modern analog very expensive synth. I went to NAMM Show in California and tried them all out. Meh. Then there was this DIGITAL thing. Virus TI. The most fun I've had in ages. It inspired me to no end. So I bought one. Nowadays it's mainly plugins and some analogue semi-modular units for me, but the Virus TI Polar was the best synth I ever bought. And the sexiest one when it comes to the look. And I used to own an EMS VCS-3 in pristine condition...

[@MrSmithUK]

Just got the plug-in and loving it. There must be nearly 2000 sounds in there !

[@xperseai]

love this synth

[@MattWenz]

What a beautiful design!

[@ksqmusic]

Whoever made this deserves a raise. What a spectacular demo of a classic.

[@AdamsOlympia]

It's the most beautiful keyboard synth I've seen! I just bought a TI2 desktop but I almost regret not holding out for a Polar.

[@MULTIMAN-MUSIC]

Same here, desktop TI (V1), and always dreamed of a Polar…

[@mikewyatt7075]

So pleased I kept mine!!

[@audiolego]

Hey I have one but the Darkstar one. It's my midi keyboard too. I mostly sample the patches I accidentally create(lots of happy accidents )

[@vjreimedia]

I just got a pristine ti2 whiteout.

[@RustyAShackleford]

AWESOME!!! ❤🎉🎉

[@cyrillusventus1]

is it factory presets ??? this machine is so amazing when you start it you cant stop it, VIRUS is really the name i need vaccination ...

[@marklholloway]

Aura Plugins makes a Virus VST/AU plugin editor that replaces the original Virus TI/TI2 editor

[@NukleoNMusik]

Nice demo. Love the bass. Anyone know if the TI2 USB connection works in Windows 11? Does other software work in Windows 11? Thanks!

[@valithrian]

windows is always backwards compatible so yes it will still work

[@teamphil]

So sad they abandoned this synth

[@cumbloke]

Yeah, was hoping for a new version or something. Spose it had a really long run though

[@s.r.b.4582]

did make a new one ?

[@happylittlesynth]

They still make them. Bought mine new 2 years ago. Works absolutely perfectly (PC) , plugin and all.

[@s.r.b.4582]

Okay! Thnaks for your answer ! I see everyone talking about them on social medias, but just considered recently i should listen to what they're capable of! the sound is gorgeous !! @@happylittlesynth

[@teamphil]

@@happylittlesynth yeah, but they have not updated or changed anything in ages. A more modern version would be amazing

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

I'm assuming this can be controlled so that it has full range......

[@JulianBichler-dm4jm]

Man that Melody at 1:00 is pure Magic! Did u wrote that By urself? Really Beautiful!

[@alicaramba7680]

He randomly plays keys in tune. There is no melody whatsoever.

[@JulianBichler-dm4jm]

@@alicaramba7680u Should really make a Track out of it!

[@noreentariq9409]

Super! Can we integrate this keyboard synthsizer into our audio workstation and use it as a vst just as we do for the access virus ti2 desktop is it possible?

[@spectre.garden]

It is a TI2 also, so yes.

[@lamski3286]

if you are on mac os catalina, the total integration is no longer supported, check out Access VirusHe for solution.

[@alainarritola4565]

Hi everyone a couple years ago had one like this, and sold because it was not comparable with the pro tools version i was running at that time, means in order to use it need it to down grade my operation system ... don't know now but at that time when i went to TI webside there where not near to come up with an upgrade for people who got it. recomendation for you before you buy any synth do your homework and see if its comparable with what youre are running, dont follow in love just because how it sound do not make the mistake i did, do a research and read about it, today you have a lot of virtual instruments out there, true they never will sound like a true synth but is the closes you can get .... blessings to all

[@carlosmedrano7005]

What patch is that at 1:50?

[@Thusila234]

Ti2 sounds brighter then polar 1

[@ministry__of__truth]

Polar 1 is just Ti1, Polar 2 is Ti2 Indigo is Virus C

RIP this synth :(

Plenty of them available 2nd hand. (people selling who have no idea what they are selling...)

RIP what just stopped to sell it s much better ....

[@thejollyjoker187]

@@sK3LeTvM1 Right now (Sept. 2024) there are 7 Virus synths for sale in the used market of Greece. One of them is a Virus C desktop, one is the Snow, 3 of them are TI mk1 61 keys, one TI2 desktop and one TI2 Polar. Prices range from 700 euros (Snow) to 1300 euros (Polar). Local pickups only. People are really stupid letting them go. There will come a day when they will deeply regret it. When I die, I'm going to be buried with my TI keyboard..

[@antoniocalimero1173]

Its a wavestate with a Virus name😊 I have a lot.. Korg Radias, V synth, Summit, Integra... but the Virus is completely unnecessary and way too expensive. Sounds a bit thin and it sounds like a VST. There's nothing wrong with that, I'd rather use a 100 euro software program with these kinds of sounds

[@soyoutube22]

@@antoniocalimero1173I just finished learning diva (I cam from serum). I read Calvin Harris uses this synth. Well anyway I wanted to ask, for making modern dance music what do you recommend I learn next? Time for a hardware synth?
