In terms of sound, Plugin Boutique’s Carbon Electra is a fantastic sounding software synth and manages to draw comparisons to a Nord Lead, or an Access Virus; a lush, warm sounding synth that’s capable of some real digital grit and dirt. It comes with over 600 presets (several made by famous producers like Carl Cox and Freemasons), and many. VIRUS TDM Plug-In 'The Access Virus plug-in (pictured above) is the first step into a new world: A TDM-based synthesizer plug-in for Pro Tools. Based on the Access Virus hardware synthesizer, the Virus plug-in transforms your ProTools system into a luscious 16-voice synthesizer with up to eight different sounds per DSP chip.

After several years ago, Access Music introduced their Virus TI synth range, which was boosted up with massive features such as audio stream directly into your DAW via USB and also the Virus plugin.

The Access Virus is a analog synthesizer made by the German company Access Music GmbH.^[1] It was first produced in 1997 and has since been upgraded frequently, with the company releasing new models about every two years. Early models include the Virus A, Virus B, and Virus C series, each available in various hardware configurations. In November 2005, the Virus TI series was released, including the 61-key Virus TI Keyboard and the 37-key Virus TI Polar. A small desktop model was released in February 2008 called the Virus TI Snow. A revision of the TI series called TI2 came out in March 2009, featuring greater polyphony, more effects in the effect section and a slightly changed design. The Virus series also has come out with two software controller plugin versions: TDM for Pro Tools and VST for TC Electronic Powercore series. The term Access Virus can be used to refer to any one of these synthesizers.

Technical details[edit]

The Access Virus employs various synthesis techniques, including subtractive synthesis, phase distortion (PD) synthesis, frequency modulation (FM) synthesis, and starting with the TI series, wavetable synthesis.

All of the Viruses are DSP-controlled, analog synthesizers. They have oscillators which can be tuned continuously from a pure sine wave to a square wave (with variable pulse-width modulation), as well as 63 'spectral' waveforms which are entirely synthetic,analog style waves. Oscillator waveforms may be modulated in a number of ways: ring modulation (AM), phase distortion (PD), or Frequency Modulation (FM). The Virus has a Matrix Modulation specification. With the TI series, two new oscillator models were added: Hypersaw and wavetable.

The filter section is programmable, with two independent analogue resonant filters^[2] which can be combined and modulated in various ways. The Matrix Modulation specification allows for the creation of complex and detailed sounds.

Series comparisons[edit]

The Virus has had three major hardware revisions since the original Virus A model as well as having numerous features (both minor and major) added via firmwareoperating system updates. The Virus engine largely remained the same from the Virus A up until the Virus C. They all utilize a single MotorolaDSP chip controller.

The Virus TI utilizes two DSP chips controllers and represented the most significant technical overhaul of the Virus series since its inception.

The Virus TI series allows for a very wide emulation of past and present synthesizers. It has Wavetable synthesis for example can only be found on a few other synthesizers, the PPG Wave series and Waldorf machines being notable examples. What separates the Virus's VA module from other analogue modelling synths in its price range is its twin multimode filter design and extensive modulation matrix. As of the Virus B OS4 update, it has three oscillators per voice (+1 sub oscillator per voice) with two filters per voice.

The basic Virus analogue oscillators between the Virus A and TI are identical with the only difference being the number of voices available as well as the additional Hypersaw oscillator and analogwavetable oscillators of the Virus TI. Additionally, the raw Virus oscillators have much less high frequency content than the oscillators found on subtractive virtual analogues such as the Clavia Nord Lead and Roland JP-8000. This partially explains the Virus's characteristically^{[according to whom?]} dark and bass heavy sound.

The highly resonant twin multimode analog filter is also an important aspect^{[according to whom?]} of the Virus sound, the features of which have been extended in the Ti range to include grain table, comb and formant filter settings.

Both Virus filters can be connected in series, parallel or set to process two oscillators independently. The routable nature of the filter allows the Virus to emulate an 18 dB/octave 3-pole filter for instance, by routing a 24dB/octave 4-pole filter in series with a 12dB/octave 2-pole filter, then turning the filter balance to 3 or 9 o'clock. Connecting a 4-pole filter in series with a 2-pole filter also allows for a 36dB/octave 6-pole filter configuration. The interchangeable filters allow for such things as simultaneous high pass and low pass sweeps and filter modulation effects such as automated filter sweeps whilst still leaving a filter free for manual use.

Every parameter on the control surface of the synth and every parameter in every sub menu can be set as a modulation destination. The Virus also has a list of modulation sources, including a random trigger. There are three modulation sources on the Virus A and B, which can be set to control six destinations. The Virus C and TI both allow for six modulation sources controlling a possible 18 modulation destinations. This does not include the three LFOs which can be set to modulate oscillators 1 and 2, pulse width, resonance and cutoff of both filters, stereo pan and any parameter set as a source in the modulation matrix, simultaneously if desired.

The Virus also has a complement of effects, including a distortion unit that allows for rectification, analogue and digital distortion, as well as bit-reducing and sample rate-reducing effects. The Virus C and TI also includes a 3-band EQ.

Lastly, the Virus has always been 16 parts multitimbral for multilayered patches and ensemble performances. However, up until the Virus TI, this aspect of the Virus has been severely flawed and is often considered unusable because of the polyphonic limitations of the Virus A, B and C.^{[citation needed]}

The programming methodology for a Virus A is largely the same as that of a Virus TI and so are the bulk of the sounds produced. However, the additional oscillators, higher polyphony, extra filter type, the EQ and revised control surface and sequencer integration of the TI allow for a greater palette of possible sounds over previous revisions. There were hardware alterations made to the TI such as the balanced inputs/outputs, 24 bit/96 kHz output and the new sequencer integrated interface.

The Virus TI Snow was unveiled at Winter NAMM 2008. It is a stripped-down version of the TI Desktop and is patch compatible with the rest of the TI line. It is much smaller, sporting a minimalist interface and utilizes a single DSP chip controller, giving it about half the polyphony and only four parts of multitimbral capability.
