Access Virus TI 2 Polar Dark Star synthesizer

Access Virus TI 2 Polar Dark Star

From the moment when the ACCESS company unveiled a model Virus C, in the modern analog synthesizers market shown nothing that could surprise the professionals looking for a more modern sounds .

In 2005, ACCESS surprised again the music world with landmark and innovative solution - VIRUS TI synthesizers.
The series consists, as usual, with the desktop version and the two versions of the keyboard (3 and 5 octaves). Technologically and sonically there are three identical devices . The company allowed the user to select the module and the two versions of the keyboard.

Virus TI2 Polar Keyboard 3 octave is another representative of the probably most modern-sounding synthesizers series in the world - ACCESS VIRUS TI. TI stands for a completely new idea called TOTAL INTEGRATION. It is an innovative technology, which connects synthesizer with your computer's environment, increasing the range of applications of the instrument in the studio and on stage.

First a Fully Integrated with Computer hardware synthesizer.
ACCESS VIRUS TI the world's first synthesizer with Total Integration technology implemented. Virus connects to your Mac / PC via located on the back panel USB port for USB-2 format and Hi-Speed ​​USB. What's more, the Virus TI Desktop is installed on the computer system as a plug-in VIRUSControl or as a multi-format software synthesizer VST / AudioUnit of 4 submixes [2 stereo] .

VIRUSControl is a program that allows mutual support for audio and MIDI at the same time, functioning of controllers, operation of the editing and access to the libraries of the instrument from a computer sequencer.

Total Integration allows really easier work with a sequencer audio / MIDI [ eg Logic, Cubase ]. All settings (sounds and multi-timbral) are stored inside the arrangement. In addition, we have easy access to a library of sounds without the need to send SysEx messages and install additional programs to control synthesizers [eg SoundDiver]. In practice Virus fulfills the role of audio cards. The main mix from the computer is sent to the Virus outputs and Virus as a plug-in sends a signal simultaneously with the audio mixer equipment for the arrangement . Of course, we can also record any external signal through the excellent quality stereo audio input [24-bit ]. Patented by the Access driver makes Virus TI the world's first hardware synthesizer combining the functions of sample-timing accuration [ exact sampling ] and delay-compensation [ align latency - the delay].

The ACCESS company, as usual, took care of excellent quality and dynamic audio outputs Virus TI. The instrument offers 6 fully balanced audio outputs [ +4 dB] with studio-quality transducers 24-bits/192 kHz. An important aspect is the fact that the outputs are compatible with the Surround. In addition, digital input and output in S/ PDIF and MIDI In/Out decide that the virus can be a great control center of computer studies, as well as set on the stage along with a laptop .

Instrument panel features 33 potentiometers to control any parameters whose settings from the hardware are sent as MIDI messages. Virus TI, as the controller, has a memory of 32 different map settings defined by the user. Potentiometers control parameters of any external device or a software instrument . It's a very useful feature in studio applications .

Keyboard.
The instrument has a semi-weighted keyboard with dynamics and aftertouch function. Access uses the truly outstanding quality of the keyboard.
