Well now that you have shelled out on that new toy why don't you give us tramps some multisamples. ThankyouPlease.

Still trying to wrap my head around multisamples of synths. If I want to sample synth notes, I kind of want them to be ghetto and sampler sounding. If I want the sound to be synthy, I'll use a vsti or a virus. hehe.

a vsti in a box

More like a box with an optional VSTi/AU for convince. Flip your statement the other way around and use an Access Virus and you'll see why they are powerful.

sorry man, the virus just don't get me excited. if you have fun using it and, make music you like with it, then you should not care what i say or any one eles. also i must ask, if you just got it why are you bragging on dsf and not making tracks?

I have a question.. How did you get your vagina so sandy? and must we all suffer?

long week, no production, makes 3za a sandy sandy vagina.

OP; can you rename this thread "3za is a sandy vagina because he don't get wet over a virus"

^^^
OP: I'm still waiting...

Whats that OP... You can't rename the thread... Why is that... Cause your getting bummed in prison...

Ok then, don't worry about it
































MUHAHAHA!!!

Nice i love the way you went in there excuse the pun but thrust it straight in the deep end.

the only reason i got sand in my vagina is like.. all this kit and not much going on audibly speaking. The OP's cloud is kinda unremarkable imo.
i do really enjoy this one:
Soundcloud

but still , i just recommend putting more mileage on the stuff you have before replacing it with shinier gear.

Not sure if that's sarcasm, forgive me if it's not. Just to comment if it was, I only took a pic of the virus.

It's difficult to translate text on the Internet

definitely the words of a leet haxor pro

I have no idea why GV1's downfall is giving me such joy lol, it's just making me feel all warm inside.

Might spend the afternoon bumping his old threads with harsh comments.

He's already in prison man, isn't that enough

My opinion is that the Virus TI is both overpriced and overrated. A few years back the sound engine was cutting edge, however today's VST's easily surpass the sonic capabilities of the ageing Virus TI.

I owned a Virus TI Keyboard for a few months and quickly realised that it wasn't anything special. Not to say you can't make great sounds with it, you can definitely make some awesome music with one. I just found that it can't do anything that i couldn't achieve with modern VST's. And i also found the interface to be lacking in several ways - no drag and drop modulation sources, no way to type in absolute values, some things displayed in -64 to +64, some things displayed in %, very dated to say the least.

wait?

im tired..

Hes in prison? Someone spill the beans on this

go to the snh,theres more to it over there.

Don't know a lot about Virus synths but I do know most vst's don't sound that good compared to the average
hardware synth. But 90% of producers only use digital nowadays anyways.

An oscillator is still a hardware 'device' though, so every vst is a digital representation of that.

Well that may have been true 10 years ago but the latest softsynths sound pretty awesome. Check out DCAM Synth Squad and U-He Diva, both use circuit modelling techniques so they're like a simulation of hardware components. They both sound amazing and i doubt anyone here could tell the difference if you heard them in a tune.

And remember the Virus is basically a softsynth - it runs on 2 dsp's(that cost about £30 each) and as someone else pointed out is basically a vst in a box. There's no reason that a modern PC couldn't run a Virus VST now, modern cpu's could do this without breaking a sweat. But i doubt Access will release a software version due to piracy.

to clarify my earlier post was sarcastic. like I said if I owned a bunch of hardware I would genuinely take lots of pictures of it and post it on the internet. there's a dedicated thread here for it and all.

probably come out of prison and make some dope music.

I would also like to add christ on a fucking bicycle.

guess he forgot to mask his ip?

oops.

I believe dedicated audio equipment still sounds better than software designed to sound similar, through a computer.
Although I don't know for sure. What I do know is that effects still sound way better in hardware form than in plugin variations.

Maybe he got a new Virus since then...

As an owner of Access Virus synths for many years, multiple models, I would say you're both right.
Modern VSTs can definitely sound just as good, but not nearly all of them do. When Albino came out, it was known as a Virus killer and in some ways it's an unofficial Virus clone as it has many of the same type of unique features. When I first got it, I didn't touch the Virus for a good while.

The Virus (and to an extent, digital hardware synths) still sound different. After owning them, I can usually hear them in tracks as the Virus has a very distinct sound. You can also get into the Virus' famous digital/analogue converters making it sound 'better', but that's a whole other can of worms. I agree the TI is overpriced though, and is definitely the closest model to a VST in a box... I didn't keep it, but I kept the older Virus models.

Besides sounding different, I've said before the thing that makes me keep the synths most is the ability to get away from the computer and go program some patches (or even make a whole tune on it, with drums) outside or on the sofa without needing to be inside the box. Computers can kill the creative process imo, too much multitasking etc.
