Can't buy a virus anymore! The king is dead, long live OsiTIrus

[@vapourmile]

Joey, before making videos I recommend you have a bath.

[@AdamsOlympia]

yours was one of the top 5 videos that fueled my gas for this machine. Finally took the plunge for TI2 Desktop and a keystep pro.

[@SIAKPHDLIVE]

For the last decade or more it’s been the only digital synth I need. I can’t imagine not having it.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

it blows away the competition well maybe Waldorf Quantum or Iridium comes close but have not used the new Waldorf synths.

[@Matthewsavant]

@@GuitarsAndSynths fwiw I sold my iridium to buy the TI polar and I’m very happy with my choice

[@HammadKhan-tl6bb]

JV-1080 is also really great, it has very warm vibe, i love it so much, and the fact that it's vst is so underrated blows me away cause it has like the greatest sounds of all time, and it also doesnt require that much space to store it

[@willswitchcraft]

Not only have I uploaded a bunch of Virus videos on my channel, but my wife (a silversmith) made me a similar double ring back in 2000....great video.......so well presented, such great stereo sound as well........

[@__3028]

if anyone is wondering if its worth it to get a TI over classic viruses, fucking do it

[@prestonhart6685]

I 100% agree. It’s my go to workhorse synth for the last 15 years It’s also a great effects unit Also I love the macro knobs

[@PhilipGarciaReacts]

You are incredible! Love this Blush!

[@kurwastyleproject]

A one of the best synths ever made. Thank you for this video.

[@alban6101]

Thanks so much for your chanel, you have just open my mind on such a synth today... My heart too !

[@maarzt]

you just sold one. EXACTLY the demo I needed of this so thank you!!

[@maarzt]

hold it I wrote that during the first 10 mins. The Virus? yea great....but FIRST AND FOREMOST...your playing is absolutely rivitting and inspiring to me. A glimpse of what mastery looks like in this genre, not a doubt. Thank you.

[@maarzt]

correction: A gimpse of what master looks like. (period)

[@NachtSchreck13]

The funny thing about these is, back in the day, you could rock out a virus (or Nord Modular) and a sampler and you never felt like you needed anything else. One of the hidden strengths of the virus is the multitimbrality (which I've seen few people use). You basically have a whole room of synths at your fingertips. I've always said, as you noted in the video, if you are using a Virus TI, there is little you will miss about a modular system. There is just so much you can do it's truly limitless as far as sound design is concerned. You will never be wanting some feature that is missing, there is so much to explore. Going back to the mid-to-late 90s, we have to give credit to Access (along with Nord and Doepfer) for bringing about the revival of analog synthesis and a return to front panel knobs, as opposed to the display + keypad + menu-diving format that reigned (but God Bless Kurzweil anyways). The Nord Lead preceded the Virus by a few years, but it was truly the original Access Virus that "infected" a new generation of artists with a love for analog-style subtractive synthesis.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

or sample modular, buy Virus and Rytm, sell modular and be ready for anything. I think that a Virus, Rytm and sampler like a Roland SP 404 MK2 or Octatrack and laptop are really all that is needed for live and studio music.

[@user-rv8wb1nl1b]

so true , 16 SYNTHS ! in one .

[@AdamsOlympia]

Multitimbrality is the main thing pushing me toward Virus TI Polar over an Iridium Core for the same price. The thought of having 8 separate tracks sequenced by OT, then having even more I could do at the same time on Deluge or something else is mind blowing. I'm surprised so few people utilize this amazing feature. Just curious, Can you custom group the audio outs - like send 4-8 tracks out of one stereo out and another 8 out of another?

[@user-rv8wb1nl1b]

@@AdamsOlympia Yes you can send any of the 16 midi audio tracks to any of the 3 stereo outs , (or 6 mono too ) .

[@lazyabeats]

Shit, it's the best Vitus TI video I ever saw on KZbin. I always trapped in thought, it's dedicated to trance genres.

[@jaxobophiuchi676]

Incredible. In love with my grey box (ti2)…you just gave me new drive to further discovery. Highly recommend anyone who owns one of these to go through the manual. Really opened my eyes to what’s possible in synthesis! Thanks for the noise!

[@roryjineffect]

This makes me want to sit down with my TI-2, especially since I am on quarantine anyway.

[@kaizen5415]

🤢_he just bragging much_🤮

[@torbjornbengtsson342]

Great demo! Every word is true! I just got a used ti2 with keyboard. Had it for a few weeks and I just cant believe how good it is. Its like every random tweak sounds amazing and fits easily in the mix. Its wierd! It feels like cheating or magic. I sold some eurorack modules to finance it and its probably the best trade I ever did. Using the multimode and sequencing with a pyramid is just insane. Up to 16 parts, one midi channel each makes me feel like my GAS is permanently cured!

[@scoopicman]

"Yeah!" Loved your enthusiasm, while showing off the Virus - even amongst the Quantum and modular synths you have! it would have been nice if you showed off more patches, but it was good to hear a few at the 31 minute mark. I also use mine exclusively as a hardware unit. I don't use the TI aspect. It cracks me up when people bag on that aspect, as if you can't use it as the amazing synth that it is. Great video and overview!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

that is the key to enjoying the synth as TI is broken software. I did get the ipad touch app to work well with my new Virus TI2 that makes life 100x easier to change mod matrix and settings easily on the ipad. Kemper Access Music really needs to get off their lazy butts and hire these developers!

[@BackToFE_OnlyTruth]

This right here is your best video❤️ LOVE the Virus:)

[@chaoswires2734]

Thanks a lot for reviewing this synth, many people forgot or didn't even know about it's true power. Still awesome device for any studio

[@maryanborovets]

Man, this is awesome! 🔥

[@TheJKOLP]

Thank you for this!

[@mutantmanfred]

Great synth! thanks for video!

[@sK3LeTvM1]

You and Tim Shoebridge. 2 total different opposing styles, but simply the best synth demonstrators on KZbin. Man, I love your channel!

[@Akira020281]

Best Synth reviews on YT for harder sounds. Appreciate it! Still waiting for your Quantum review 🖤

[@shomijah]

On multi-timbrality: the fact that you can have 16 separate parts running simultaneously, each with independent effects chains blows my mind. PLUS the highly sculptable 3band EQ and manipulation of stereo field per part means that each part can sit clearly defined without muddying the mix. The Virus A desktop was the first synth ever to stop me dead in my tracks back in 2002. MANY lesser more affordable synths later, I bought a TI2 in 2019 and have been selling off my other gear since. Truly a sound designer/explorer’s dream. PS PLEASE MAKE THAT EXTERNAL AUDIO VIDEO XOXO THANKS

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

My favorite two synths in my studio are the Waldorf Iridium and Access Virus Ti2 Darkstar. My favorite drum machine, in the studio, is the Elektron RYTM MKII. Your studio definitely clicks with me. Dear all that is unholy, that comb filter just makes the pure sound of carnage.

[@Matthewsavant]

I used to hate on the Virus so much in the early days because of all the cheesy trance sounds seemingly everyone who owned one made on it and it seemed like a preset machine for a lot of users but once I got my hands on one I was blown away at how capable it actually is and how immediately nice it sounds. I have the TI polar now and I love it

[@Strages_Powers]

Great review! I like how you duck the sound when you speak, not many reviewers do this. Subscribed

[@ElectronicazMusic]

Totally agree! Amazing synth. Love mine. Amazing video! 😁 ♥ 🎶

[@FullFledged2010]

Got my virus like 4 years ago and I didn't know about half the stuff you just showed 😅 I knew it was a beast of synth but seeing this my mind is blown 🙌

[@nsns7993]

You had me wiggling my tail man! Exciting demo, love your enthusiasm! Currently own a minilogue XD, some TD-03's and a TR8-S and would loveeee these kinds of sounds/possibilities in my setup.

[@CaliforniaCreedence]

Amazing demo!! I loved it! I plan to get one. I use Omnisphere soft synth. It's the best as far as vsti, I own Serum, as well, but I miss the hardware synths for this very reason indicated on the video.

[@mrclaytron]

If Access made a Virus with an Elektron style sequencer, it would be pretty much game over for every other synth product on the market. I love the Virus. I think it IS the greatest synth of all time... still.

[@woeofcarrots]

my brain is melting at the very idea of it, hope it happens

[@buschovski1]

sounds incredible

[@bluecliffsynthesis6685]

This video convinced me to buy a new TI2. Amazing demo!

Totalmente de acuerdo.. para mi es el mejor sintetizador VA!!! aún me sigue sorprendiendo después de tantos años!!!

[@DR.KRYOVAK]

Wow, I love the reverb too, that sounded sick.

[@TheAfpetersen]

Insanely good!

[@thelofifreq]

I bought a B in 1999 and it lasted till 2020. Used it to play across the country. The ti2 is an awesome improvement and solid worker. Good to see you are discovering useful synths still. ✌️

[@oktavision5094]

My first proper VA , remember visiting access site every day back in the day ,waiting eagerly for the release day! 18 years later and it's still sounding relevant and fresh!

[@wesleyeleuthereus6345]

Very happy to have just bought a TI2! I can only begin to imagine what I’ve gotten myself into! RAW 🔥🔥🔥

[@DMS198526]

Brilliant vid man. Subbed;) please do more virus videos and quantum/ iridium

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

I bought one today to use with my Rytm MK2, Digitone and JX-08 for EDM and trance music production. Nice setup and it pairs great with the Rytm I bet!

[@cpunktspunkt748]

First time I was actually in love with a piece of technology..it's incredibly powerful and versatile..you can actually get in a meditative state while exploring and tweaking sounds

[@Claidheambmor]

Absolutely loved it. Please do another video showing the external audio. :D

[@biggrime]

I have to admit. This is one synth I've slept on. It can do so much

[@0e0]

i love how much sound design action is demonstrated before you even touch the filter ha

[@TheCALMInstitute]

I have a Virus Classic and it does a fraction of this - but between the simple wave tables, sync, ring mod, FM, and routable filters, it does absolutely everything I could ever want. Honestly anything Access makes, buy it.

[@CarlArmstrong]

Crazy good demo.

[@williamlittlejohn5929]

Yo Discovering your channel !Was looking for the Elektron tutorial and VirusTi …amazing job I have to say … You should definitely think of doing /selling a MasterClass on both machines…which doesn’t exist sadly… Great job! Thanks

[@marshmallowman7136]

Had a C, now I have a TI Polar. Miss the smaller size of the desktop. Always loved the inspirational, crazy things random came up with. Could easily do a complete ambient album with just the TI.

[@m.ritter1036]

Really nice video about this always called "Trance-Synth". It can do so much more. And yes, the TI integration isn't needed to control that wonderful instrument.

[@ferrydinther8488]

All the early va's are trancesynths at that time. Nord lead jp8000 ms2000 virus nova's etc

[@Shoujoboy51]

Holy shit. That was incredible.

[@triggerpeter]

Love the ti since it was born. Its my main Synth and never gets boiring! I think i'll get a second one. Just for tweaking both!!!

[@fragmatic1964]

I love it when people step forward to do 'love letter' videos to underrated gear. This was great!

[@cooptrol]

Great review! I have a Snow and have had A and B. Love them for many reasons, although usually have a hard time to place them in the mix. Viruses take a lot of room in the mix. That's why I got a Snow instead of the big one, cos 4 tracks is already too much if you use it with more gear. Also a great add on to the Digitone. Portability is the other reason. I don't use the plugin except for patch management, and the Snow UI is not that difficult to use giveng the tiny footprint. A Virus is something everyone oughtta have, either TIs or the classic ones, all are great.

[@esteb0t]

sounds sick af, i think i gotta get one

I just bought one for the live PA. Was going for a Hydrasynth, as I want wavetable in the set. But the TI seems do what I need, plus the extra stuff like the comb filter... Your vid made me realise there's even more fun to be had. These things hold their value though. A

[@chris.dillon]

Nice walkthrough. I could go on and on about mine but I guess just one story real quick. I have lots of homemade patches I've done over the years, slowly replacing the factory trace stuff. Some of it is neat but when I've made a library of patches, the thing gets more personal and under my control I guess. Anyway, I made this patch called BOOOM. It's an explosion sound effect. It was just another happy accident like you are showing here a bit. I don't know how I made it but it's the loudest thing I have in my room. It doesn't even clip. It does this digital destruction with a ducking thing. It sounds huge. It's like a bomb going off. I still can't believe it. How can it be so loud, not clip and still have this interesting character even in this fit of maximize violence? Something about the Virus DSP is just magic. I thought all wavetable was like this and everything I've run into is a let down. I like the Waldorf stuff and it's very close but it just doesn't do everything the Virus does. I really hope they make a TI3 someday. The Kyra was right there. Idk what happened.

[@FatFingerFreddy]

Great vid. Been using Access since the Virus B, which was a thrasher of a synth. I was able to do some amazing vocoder tracks using the Virus C and am still puzzled as to why it's like some kind of secret that it's capable of it. Looking to see how the Polar TI does, in that respect. But... question: what rack system are you using? I love how it's spread out and not simply cascading with everything on top of each other.

[@stanbekker]

Just bought the TI1 desktop secondhand, because of your video... It is amazing! Also found a Virus C for just 500 euros, going to compare them in depth and keep the one I like the most. There is a big chance they both wont leave haha. In 20 years these synths are going to be really hard to find and/or expensive... Its such a nice creative tool.

[@cpunktspunkt748]

AFAIK virus ti contains the preset banks of the virus c too as the ti is a heavily beefed up c

awesomeness

[@alban6101]

Great demo here ! Cool synth. I remember the first release of it, in red colour...20 years now ! Amazing digital tool(S) ! ... 22:00 WAHOU !!!! A "never ending story" isn't it !? It's calling me in order to play live with such a tool. Yes, i'm looking for a new machine these days (...), watching many review, catching infoS, etc, ... It seems to me to be The tool. Maybe... 4 parts, 4 out if i remember, this crazy sound of it ! So many features. The workflow so to play live with it is also the secret weapon, in my mind, as i see you play, comparing with some machines i've already have fun with... All in a box ! (Add to a little bit of nostalgia's desire, rermembering myself the first release of the Virus, in red)...Yes ! What's happening there ? 27:10 OUCH ! Thinkins finally that the firmware has been always updated, time after time : GREAT !

[@Blackeyedangel]

you sold me. as soon as I can afford one, Im getting one. I used to own the access virus KB and I sold it many years ago. my biggest regret.

[@colorinspaceambientmusic]

I think I gotta get one of these.

[@XanderEwald]

I miss my Virus A, and after this video I really want the TI.

[@ThePiruelain]

Great demo! Sounds are amazing and I'm thinking of adding Virus to my setup by myself too, but I'm doubting about couple of aspects which I haven't found good answers to, yet: 1) how well does the multi timbral capability work in reality (approx how many different sounds at once it can play without overloading)? I want to stay mostly hardware only with my creations so would it serve well enough for multiple concurrent tunes in one hardware box, or would it run out of power rather quickly for that? Example: bass, leads and pad at once. 2) is there anything to worry about discontinued software support? I'm not planning to use it via USB as VST most of time anyway but you need at least some software connectivity for loading/saving patches and such?

[@romi2910001]

That was an awesome demo, you pushed that machine hard and it held up very well.👍 Can you jam on the virus B or C the same way? Trying to save some money. Or would you suggest the ti snow instead? I know there's a bit of menu diving but I'm good with that. Which would u choose on a budget? Thanks in advance

[@cYndroid]

So glad that I found your channel. Most synth channels do not delve into EBM or industrial at all. I'm a bit obsessed with the Virus TI, but I can't afford it. Could you recommend a cheaper alternative? Thanks.

[@NS-pj8dr]

Waldorf Blofeld. By far the best digital synth for less than $500. Can do practically anything the Virus can and some things it can't.

This has to be the best Demo ive seen on the Virus , if this vid had been out years ago , im sure Access would of sold twice as many units

Nice video. I'm struggling to love my TI. I have a ton of synths, and it can sound like nearly all of them. I'm starting to think I'd like it more if I didn't have this really well rounded collection of mine. Gonna give it time though. I know it's deep, and maybe it will just take time for it to find its place and purpose in my synth hoard, haha
