Posted by Beyer on Jan-25-2005 21:42:

It sounds just amazing! I wish I could order one right now..


Posted by ZxZDeViLZxZ on Jan-25-2005 21:46:

they still didnt do the max 60,000oscsps i want to hear 60,000 oscilations per second.


Posted by DickieThijssen on Jan-25-2005 22:01:

cool movie, too bad the supersaw-topic was so short, i would have loved to hear some more fat detuned saws with long release and maybe some fx... Anyhow, are there any mp3 samples available somewhere???


Posted by h@x0r on Jan-25-2005 22:46:

Mine is on order... sh!t, can't believe I"d have to wait another 45 days before getting it!

BTW, hat's off to Virus for venturing into an uncharted territory - audio over USB from synth??? that's interesting. Wondering what sort of standards they will comply to? I recon it will be something like ADAT over USB? And the whole thing about bypassing AD/DA is cool. It'd be nice to free up 2 channel strips on my mixer. Also, the wavetable integration is phat!!! wonder if there's a way to transfer wave samples from pc to virus (sampling synth)??? Looks like they may have inherited this piece from Waldorf (RIP ).

Anywho - waiting patiently..

good grief! This is absolutely great! but 2.8K USD>.

i didnt think it was that great. i mean, it started to sound a bit silly when he put unison on. and then it just became a case of 'how many detuned oscillators can i have?' as if you got a prize for breaking the 50,000 barrier. i think after a while, the more that demo wore on, the less pure it started to sound - it started to get...hmmm...sludgey. i did sit up when he upped the release and rattled off this little riff. couldnt believe none of the notes cut off with the amount of voices he was playing. some of the wavetables looked nifty. the best bit i felt was deffo the VST/i interface bit and the bit where theres no global effects you you can hold down a chord or an arp. change patches and it'll only transition after you release it. 0 glitches. i dunno why every synth doesnt have that ^______^ for 2.8 grand they can take a running jump though. the alesis fusion 6HD is gonna cost half that and i was far more impressed with the video demo for that.

I paid 2250 USD for my TI keyboard.

EDIT: Just saw the video. The seamlessness of switching patches is really nice. And the ability to switch patches while having the old patch still playing will be very useful in a live PA. Glad I made the right decision to buy this as my first hardware synth.


Posted by Derivative on Jan-26-2005 17:33:

oh dont get me wrong. it did indeed sound fat. but it to the point where it wasnt really expressive of anything else. it was just stupidly fat. as for the price. i have a virus b already and from those demos i didnt feel as if the extras were worth upgrading if you already have a virus. i think that it very much continues the 'virus' sound. you know. whereas if i were going to spend that much money on a synth i would feel that i already have a nice slice of the 'virus' sound. now i want something a bit different. hence the alesis fusion. seriously, watch the NAMM video for it. wow. the licensed acoustic and electric pianos sounded in a word. amazing. the modelled flute didnt sound like a modelled flute but it sounded awesome.

^^^ Keep in mind that at this time the OS is still in Beta version, all the patches are from Virus C and none of that has been optimized yet to take full advantage of what's under the hood.

Expect the first batch of virus TIs to have problems galore - as the HW and OS have been completely re-designed. The features that virus promissed may be as far as 1 year away from being usable and/or functional. Even though mine is on a waiting list, I may cancel the order as I expect bunch of people dump this baby 3 months after buying it because it either doesn't fully work, not really distinguishable from virus C yet and because it is unstable. If you need any proof - all viruses starting with A had some kind of mysterious problem when it first came out. While it is a great product, the OS has always been very Microsoft-ey - leaving room for improvement and stability.

I dunno, paying $2,300 to beta-test this synth is becomming less and less atractive, even with all the bells and whistles. I might just buy it to try it and sell it if it don't meet my expectations. Probably won't loose much moolah.

sounds amazing!!


Posted by FrancoR on Jan-27-2005 06:03:

for me dont sound amazing, i hear horrible sounds from the video (2.8k for this? ). whatever i think its a great synth but the boy of the video cant tweak good presets
Rank 1 could do it better

ANOTHER HERETIC! BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!


Posted by RiCo on Jan-27-2005 23:25:

Hahahaha, that's funny! Well, I saw the vid and it didn't tickle me. So the money I was going to spend on it will go for a new turbo for my Supra and bigger injectors, LOL.


Posted by Euphorica on Jan-30-2005 08:17:

wow, thats badass! i love how his head is boppin to a ghost baseline while he plays the notes


Posted by Sean Walsh on Jan-30-2005 13:24:

Dunno, don't think you can get too much more of an impressive, raw sound without doing ANYTHING clever with effects. This thing is fat as fuck and that ultrasaw sounds like it will be fucking mean for basslines.


Posted by bachatu on Jan-30-2005 16:34:

The TI still has the same old virus personality, but with more balls and flexibility. It's quiet impressive if you ask me... If you think about it, yeah, it's not gonna scream anything special musically from the demo, because the access rep was just flipping through some presets and messing around with some parameters in real time. However, this synth is very versatile and offers lots of flexibility... giving unlimited possibilities, especially with the wavetable synthesis. Combine this synth with the right sound design concepts and you should be able to get some amazing results. I don't believe this is a synth for those ppl looking to use presets, but more for those inclined to creating their own custom patches; that is the best way to get your moneys worth.
The only thing I raelly don't like is the whole audio over USB and no midi I/O... I disagree with this as USB is not standardized and can be unstable in so many aspects, depending on the system.


Posted by RiCo on Jan-30-2005 16:59:

Yeah, it was funny when he opened his mouth kinda when playing the bassline and was bobbing his head, haha.The only part that really tickled me is when he opened the release and played those notes to show it wouldn't cut...it sounded sooo good I listened to that part many many times.

it does have midi in/out. you cant play it if it doesnt have midi in/out!

also i think you should look for the namm video demo for the alesis fusion. that set the benchmark for me. the virus TI didnt seem to offer more than some extra phatness for a �1500 price tag and the wavetables? maybe a bit of korg wavestation esque sound. couldnt really tell from the demo. the alesis fusion is supposed to retail cheaper and it does fricking everything man. the sampled pianos on that are sick.

other synth that impressed me more at namm was dave smith's evolver keyboard. that thing is just crazy! real analogue and you can warp sound you wouldnt believe. he even does it live and the sound really does 'evolve' in realtime. although he kept saying 'its real easy, just grab some knobs and have some fun' and i just kept giggling. but then im really immature so dont pay any attention to me.
