Will there ever gonna be Softsynth version
of Virus..?

Ummm Tc Electronics partnered up with Access to creat the Access Virus Powercore plugin, that is an emulation of the access Virus B i believe...

It runs on the DSP chips that the Tc powercore PCI or PCIE cards have and i believe that's the closes thing your going to get.

Other than that, Why would Access make a plug version, i mean there is only so much a soft synth can do and there is HEAPS a hardware can do.

So it really depends on what you feel comfortable with, but like most Vst that can bee cracked and the maker makes no money,especially these days.

That's why the Virus Ti is a work of Art, You need the hardware to trigger the VC or you can just use the Hardware but all in all the Virus TI is the most Powerful machine to date!.

But it is also personal preference i suggest going to your local music dealer and try out the access virus ti if they have on on demo for ya, just see for your self and i am sure you will make your own mind up. And you will see why they wont make a soft synth version...

Hope this helps

Cool cool, Yeah im a Ti2 user.

I have not compared the two so i can't state which one is better but my mate has TI Snow and to me there just as good ad each other.

Curiosity is cool i guess you wont know unless you ask

With Vst's say for example Nexus it does use less CPU power and you can open many instances of it but its is also limited to what you can change its original sound, and in some cases you cant change much at all so your stuck with a sound bank or patch untill Nexus releases more banks. with the Virus Ti you can make your own sound from scratch and completely change it, then bounce it down to audio and say use it in a sampler like Kontact or any other wave sampler, with polyphony "loss" during record i have not seen that with my system but,
I see your a windows 7 user, i have heard the Gui is a bit slow on that operating system but access is addressing that issue if there is one, i use PC Xp service pack 3 and the Virus Ti works like a dream, no drop outs, latency is perfect, but just give it time future updates will fix all issues.

Any Information is good information so sorry if the Tc stuff i wrote down you knew already, but this is a forum so others can read and learn from all our experiences.

Hope this helps ya man, if you have any more questions feel free to ask and ill try and help ya as much as i can

LOL sorry man i completely forgot Nexus is a Rompler lol, im just not with today ha ha ha had a few late nights in the studio.

Umm Yeah i do use complex sounds and my tracks are quite fat but i guess im the exception for some reason lol..

Any how i hope i have helped ya in one way or another, but you should Mesg Mark from Access, im quite sure he will be more informative.

Have a good week mate

Peace out

Machine, that must be frustrating. Have you looked into the usual recommendations, such as using Unison mode, Reverb, Analog Filter models and
Oscillator 3 sparingly? In the manual (page 17) they mention that these will reduce the polyphony by around half, and if you stack these you will come up against the kind of limitations you've mentioned.
