Access Music is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Virus TI2 series. The successor of the acclaimed range of totally integrated synthesizers adds 25% more calculating power and sports a redesigned housing and front panel. Access also used new materials to bring down the weight of the keyboard versions. On the software side of things, a major feature update, OS3, will be available by the time you read this. The new operating system adds several new FX such as a Tape Delay, Frequency Shifter and several new Distortion algorithms along with a new feature called Character.

Character allows you to adjust the overall tone of a preset reminiscent of several vintage and well-known synthesizers. In addition you can emphasis certain aspects of the patch to allow it to cut better through the mix, or fade it into the background with an extra-wide stereo field. The new distortions were built from scratch and feature an extreme dynamic range along with sophisticated controls to tailor the sound to your specific needs. They can add everything from warm, tube-like overtones to complete sonic deconstruction more reminiscent of circuit-bending. The new algorithms also include a revamped bit and sampling-rate reduction, allowing you to change the quality and cutoff point with precise, continuously variable control.

The stereo Frequency Shifter and the new Ring Modulator are state of the art algorithms modelled with old '70s stomp boxes in mind.

The Tape Delay goes way beyond the possibilities of the real Tape Delays in the '60s and '70s. It smoothly syncs to tempo, lets you decide if a Doppler effect takes place when changing the tempo, and even switching the delay time between presets is all smooth, making it perfect for performers. Last but not least, a modification to the main "VCA" algorithm enables OS3 users to design gating FX known from electro and minimal influenced music.




Virus Control has received a completely redesigned user-interface thanks to various improvement requests over the last years. The plug-in now features a side chain input allowing you to mangle audio from a sequencer track with the FX and sound engine of the hardware Virus (for selected hosts only).

The best news, however, is that OS3 is compatible with all legacy Virus TIs and the Virus TI Snow, thus enabling Access' vast user base to update their existing instruments with all the new software features totally free of charge.

OS3 will be available immediately. The Virus TI2, which comes in the following flavours will also be available shortly after NAMM.

Virus TI2 Desktop 19" desktop synthesizer with wooden front application.
Virus TI2 Keyboard 61 keys (semi weighted) keyboard model with wooden side panels.
Virus TI2 Polar 37 keys (synth action) keyboard model with alloy and wooden side panels.




Access Music hat die sofortige Verfügbarkeit der neuen Virus TI2 Serie auf der diesjährigen Winter NAMM verkündet. Der Nachfolger des Virus TI bietet 25% mehr Rechenpower und kommt in einem neuen redesignetem Gehäuse mit neuem Frontpanel daher. Darüber hinaus hat Access Music beim Virus TI2 neue Materialien verwendet, um das Gewicht des Synths zu verringern.

Auf der Softwareseite gibt es ein großes Update mit OS3, das auch als öffentliche Beta erhältlich ist. Das neue Betriebssystem bietet neue Funktionen wie die Effekte Tape Delay, Frequency Shifter und diverse neue Verzerrungsalgorithmen sowie ein neuer Parameter namens "Character".


Der neue Parameter "Character" des Virus TI2 erlaubt die Einstellung des allgemeinen Klangs in Erinnerung an alte analoge Synthesizer. Zudem können verschiedene Aspekte des gewählten Patchs betont werden, um besser durch den Mix durchzuklingen oder eher im Hintergrund zu verschwinden mit einem extrabreiten Stereofeld.

Die neuen Distortion Effekte sind von grund auf neu programmiert worden und bieten ein große Dynamik zusammen mit umfangreichen Möglichkeiten zum Anpassen des Klangs an die eigenen Vorstellungen. Der Virus TI2 bietet hier alles von warmen, röhrenartigen Obertönen bis zur totalen Zerstörung in Richtung Circuit-Bending. Die neuen Algorithmen bieten ebenfalls eine verbesserte Bit und Sampling-Rate Reduktion.


Die neuen Effekte des Virus TI2 "Frequency Shifter" und "Ring Modulator" sind laut Hersteller state of the art Algorithmen, die nach dem Vorbild alter Stomps aus den Siebzigern gestaltet wurden.

Das Tape Delay hingegen geht über die Funktionalität alter Geräte hinaus: Es kann zum Tempo synchronisiert werden und lässt auf Wunsch einen Doppler Effekt beim Ändern des Tempos zu. Schließlich bringt das neue Betriebssystem OS3 des Virus TI2 einen neuen VCA Algorithmus, der es Nutzern erlaubt einen Gate-Effekt zu realisieren, wie er von den Musikstilen Elektro und Minimal bekannt ist.

Virus Control hat mit diesem Update ein völlig neues Aussehen bekommen, das auf den Wünschen langjähriger Nutzer basiert. So bietet das Plugin nun einen Sidechain Eingang, der es erlaubt das Signal des Virus TI2 durch andere Spuren aus dem Sequencer zu steuern. Wie der Hersteller bekannt gibt, ist die neue Software OS3 abwärtskompatibel mit allen Virus TIs sowie dem Virus TI Snow, womit auch mit dem neuen Modell Virus TI2 auf die große Datenbank mit Sounds und Presets zurückgegriffen werden kann.

hier noch mal eine ausführliche beschreibung:

Access Steps Up The Renowned Virus!

The Access Virus TI2 Desktop synthesizer takes the revered Virus TI to the next level, boasting 25% more calculating power, a more robust onboard effects section, a lighter weight, and a completely redesigned housing. At the heart of the Virus TI2 Desktop is the new OS3 which comes with new effects - Frequency Shifter, Tape Delay, new Distortions, and Character. What's more, it now includes the enhanced Virus Control 3.0 plug-in, giving you even deeper control of the synthesizer and your many presets. Already a known Ferrari of a synth, expect even more from the Access Virus TI2 Desktop.

Access Virus TI2 Desktop Synthesizer at a Glance:

• The "Ferrari" Just Got Better
• Robust effects section, with new TI2 effects
• Total Integration - enhanced Virus Control 3.0 plug-in
• 3 main oscillators and one sub-oscillator per voice
• Two fully independent filters and 2-dimensional modulation matrix
• Robust effects section, with new TI2 effects
• Each patch contains its own arpeggiator pattern
• Premium redesigned enclosure, lighter in weight

The "Ferrari" Just Got Better
Access somehow managed to improve on the revered Virus TI system, taking the "Ferrari" to the next level of performance - and TI computer integration. With a lighter, redesigned enclosure, a bolstered effects section, and an enhanced Virus Control 3.0 plug-in - plus all the staples that made the Virus the famous powerhouse - the Virus TI2 Desktop is truly the culmination of Access's 12-year triathlon of sound research, distillation of user input, and their simple desire to create an exceptional instrument.

Robust effects section, with new TI2 effects
The new Access Virus TI2 Desktop features an even more powerful effects section, bringing studio-favorite effects to the live performance realm. In addition to phaser, chorus/flanger, ring modulator/shifter, EQ, and a global vocoder, onboard are a new Tape Delay effect, a Frequency Shifter, and new Distortions. There's also a new Character effect, which lets you shape the timbre of the Virus's sound and its fit in the mix, using Analog Boost, Vintage 1/2/3, Pad Opener, Lead Enhancer, Bass Enhancer, or Stereo Widener "Characters."

Total Integration - enhanced Virus Control 3.0 plug-in
The TI in the Virus TI2 Desktop stands for Total Integration with your DAW - and Access has heightened that integration, with the Access Virus TI2 line. With the new Virus Control 3.0 plug-in, you have enhanced control over your Virus TI2, right inside your DAW. There's also an even more robust presets manager, so you can organize, sort, search, and tweak - as quickly as you want to work.

3 main oscillators and one suboscillator per voice
The Access Virus TI2 Desktop features three main oscillators and one sub-oscillator per voice. Each main oscillator can be made up of various oscillator types, including Hyper Saw (a multi saw-tooth oscillator with up to 9 stacked oscillators, 9 sub oscillators, and a sync oscillator at the same time), Classic Virtual Analog oscillators (saw, variable pulse, sine, triangle, 62 spectral waves with several FM modes), Graintable, Wavetable (with 100 multi-index wavetables), and Format oscillators

Two fully independent filters and 2-dimensional modulation matrix
You can use two fully independent filters with the Access Virus TI2 Desktop - lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandstop) while using an optional saturation module between both filter blocks. The saturation module can add one of several distortions and lo-fi effects, or an additional low/highpass filter. There's also optional self-resonating Moog cascade filter simulation, with circuit overload and 1-4 poles. What's more, the Access Virus TI2 Desktop offers a 2-dimensional modulation matrix, with 6 slots (1 source and 3 modulation targets each), and you can modulate parameters in realtime.

Each patch contains its own arpeggiator pattern
Every patch onboard the Access Virus TI2 keyboard features its own arpeggiator pattern with 32 programmable steps (length and velocity can be adjusted per step) and a global control for swing/shuffle timing and for note lengths. You can control all of this using the modulation matrix.

Premium redesigned enclosure, lighter in weight
The new Access Virus TI2 Desktop retains is classy look - all designed, engineered, and built in Germany. It also features a lighter weight, so the Virus TI2 Desktop is even more prepared for the stage.
