Filed under: Electronic Instruments, Keyboard Synthesizers, SynthesizersAccess Music GmbH, the company behind the Virus TI synthesizer series has released OS 2.7 after an extensive public beta test.
The new version, which is compatible with the entire Virus TI range including the Virus TI Snow, features:
- Atomizer (a realtime glitch- and looper effect)
- a third USB buss to transfer more discreet audio channels in between the synth and the computer
- support for multiple devices.
It also adds Virus Control Center, a MacOS/Windows application which can backup and restore the memory content of the entire synth and overwrite the ROM banks with new sounds.
A detailed list of refinements and bug fixes can be found on the download page.
Hans Zimmer Interview
Access Music has published an interview with Hans Zimmer, in conjunction with the release of Dark Knight.
There’s a lot of synth discussion throughout the interview, but a couple things caught my eye:
Do you remember your first exposure to electronic music
Yes, at school someone had brought in Switched on Bach and I thought it was cool. I come from a technical family, my father was an inventor, and although I was only 12 at the time, or something, I thought this was definitely a step forward in the development of instruments.
Do you remember the first synthesizer you ever owned?
Yes! An EMS VCS3.
Awesome. The Putney!
The Putney! Without an instruction manual or keyboard, so I really learned the hard way. I think it took me a year to get the first noise out of it, and of course it was the sound of someone squeezing a gerbil a little bit passionately.

Access is introducing OS Version 2.7 for Virus TI at the 2008 Winter NAMM Show.
The new OS version includes a new control centre application for Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. Using the stand alone application users can overwrite the ROM patches of their Viruses with their own sounds and perform complete memory backups for safety reasons and archiving.
OS 2.7 furthermore increases the amount of audio streams from the TI into the Virus Control plug-in by 50% and adds input side chaining capabilities. This way, users can send audio from the host sequencer into the Virus’ sound engine all digitally, process it with the TI’s filters and FX and finally loop it back into the sequencer.
The new operating system also increases the amount of ROM sounds to 26 banks with 128 patches each (that’s, including the RAM banks, a total of nearly 4000 onboard sound patches). Among the new patches are patches by Dean Coleman, Stuart Price (Madonna), Numb and many others.
OS 2.7 is available to every Virus TI user free of charge and can be downloaded in Spring 2008.
