operating system

Access has announced the release of Access Virus OS 3:

After an extensive public beta test phase OS3 is ready to roll. The new operating system for the entire Virus TI product line introduces new and existing effects such as additional distortion types, a tape delay and last but not least a ring shifter.

The new version is recommended for every user and can be downloaded free of charge as of today.

We also launched the next public beta cycle for OS version 3.0.2 which will focus on stability and performance. The new OS version is available for public testing today.

Roland has announced version 2 of its JUNO-G workstation, available as a free download for owners of the original model.

The software upgrade adds user sampling and sample-pad triggering to the feature set, letting you expand your sound library. Using the external input, you can capture audio from a microphone, a CD/MP3 player, etc., and assign the recorded sound to a front-panel button where it can be triggered like a pad.

New Features

• User sampling and waveform editing now available with Version 2
• Stores up to 9,000 samples (user: 2,000, card: 7,000)
• Sample triggering from the six buttons below the LCD screen
• 12 samples can be assigned simultaneously to the buttons (6 samples x 2 groups)
• Version 2 available to all JUNO-G owners via free download!
