Access Music, the company behind the Virus TI line of synthesizers has released OS 2.03, a free maintenance and feature release.

The new version adds tutorial videos and a new Help function from within the Virus Control AU/VST plug-in. The videos illustrate how best to integrate Virus Control with Apple Logic and Ableton Live. In addition, tutorial Videos on how to install and use Virus Control have been included.

Richard Devine Signature Set

Renowned Warp Records artist Richard Devine has provided an unreal signature set for Virus TI users which makes exclusive use of the new Grain Table and Formant Oscillators. Being the first 128 patches set entirely created using the new oscillators introduced with version 2.0, it takes the Virus TI into formally unknown sonic territory and is highly recommended for download, especially if you don’t need another trance lead sound.

New user patch libraries

Andi Vax and Terran Westbook a.k.a. SurfaceX have released new Virus sound sets both targeting more dance-oriented artists. Andi Vax’s Synsun patch collection is an excellent source for Progressive Trance, whereas SurfaceX’s Full Force set caters rather more towards the Intelligent Dance Music and Industrial market.
