New Access Virus TI Snow

Basically a cut down TI...



http://access-music.de/snow/

looks useless hahaha... i have a ti.. i should be able to say that.

I don't know - my Polar could use a baby brother!

Looks like a direct competitor for the new Waldorf Blofeld. Anybody seen an expected street price for the Snow yet?

That's what I am wondering. I mean, I'd like to get an upgrade to my aging Virus B. If the specs are comparable to the full-size Virus TI, then it may be worth it.

I guess we'll find out in the spring.

Holy shit!!

Last night I dreamt that they made this exact product -- a miniture TI, much like the blofield

Guessing US$600 to directly compete with the Waldorf Blofeld. Would expect it to be in a +/- $100 range?

* 4 Part multitimbral
* Polyphony between 10 to 50 voices depending on part.
* 2x Outputs
* 2x Inputs
* Midi In/Out
* USB (adds 6x Outputs like the full TI range), mid and to control VirusTC VST.

If that is the actual price and its the full TI engine, then its definitely worth it. $600 is really cheap for a quality synth and for those of us with multiple hardware synths the multitimbral limit and voice limits are not a huge deal.

A few initial questions that spawn...

Can I run 2 virus TI on my Logic system simultaneously?

I could program and and do all automation with my TI Desktop's knobs, then offload the patch to the 'snow' for processing power.

hmm...

This could be pretty damn good. It's cheap as well.

i really doubt it will go for $600. i would say $900 will be more realistic (at least).

keep in mind this is a much more advance synth than the blofeld (4 parts vs. 2 parts, VST intergration, 100 index wavetables, etc.)

Agreed. Expecting this to sell for $600 is dreaming, as echosystm says, it's worth closer to 1k IMO.

Must be a good price.

what price tag had the old racks?

Somewhat around 1200E if I'm correct? (virus classic desktop)

I wouldn't mind paying a 1000 Euro for such a synth as the TI snow .

edit: I googled and found a virus rack and virus classic desktop for 900E right now here in NL. Brand new. But since those are a bit old now I guess the snow would be somewhat around a 1000 Euro?

There's a rumor that the next OS will bring a third stereo output through USB (For all TI models).

That would be nice.

Very nice.

Will the blofeld have USB connectivity like the TI? (for VSTi integration). I've heard that the guy who programmed the TI VSTi works for Waldorf now.

On the Snow specifications page:

"USB is used for MIDI and audio transmission (adding 3 additional stereo outputs) and works at 12Mb/s."

I can't imagine they would have the SNOW /w three stereo outputs and the more expensive models at just two. 12Mb/s is only USB 1.1, so they must have refactored and optimized a lot of the code to allow for that third output.

The rack classic (re-issued Virus B) was $1000US so if this really is the most affordable Virus ever, then it's gotta be lower than that. Echosystem's guesstimate of $900 sounds more likely.

Some soundbank demos if u havent already heard it:

Bank A

Bank D

US$1000 I wouldn't mind paying. 1000 Euro on the other hand? Errr....not so much.

What i`d like to know, is what you arent getting with this Snow model.

1/4 of the interface and half the polyphony.

pretty sure the rest is the same as the original TI.

Do you think the drop in polyphony means there is 'only' one DSP present?

Absolutely LOVING the looks of this
