Access Music announces Virus TI Snow
Recklinghausen, Germany - January 12, 2008 - Access
Music today announced Virus TI Snow, their new table-top
synthesizer based on the award-winning Virus TI series of
synthesizers.
"The Virus TI Snow is the ideal companion
for live musicians and for those who want to take a powerful
but compact synth to a jam session." said Marc Schlaile,
Access' Product Director. "Over a thousand sounds can be
accessed with a maximum of 4 button pushes. With 3
programmable hardware knobs per patch and additional ones
for filter and envelope control, performers can control the
core of the sound without having to dive into an edit menu."
The TI Snow is 100% compatible with all
patches for the TI series and plays back a maximum of 50
voices with 4 multi-timbral parts (64 multi performances,
512 RAM and 512 ROM patches). The oscillator models include
virtual analog, hypersaw, wavetable and graintable types.
The filter section features a Moog cascade filter emulation
with 1-4 poles and self-oscillation among others. The FX
section includes simultaneous reverb, delay, eq, distortion,
lo-fi effects, bass boost, phaser and chorus/flanger - even
in multi mode.
Sounds can also be edited and stored using Virus
Control, their VST/AU/RTAS compatible plug-in. 16 patch
select buttons can be used for fast access to edit menus and
navigation. "Easy edit mode" allows for fast and dramatic
changes providing a selection of context-sensitive
parameters which adapt by analysis of the underlying sound
patch. Nevertheless, pretty much all parameters can be
edited on the hardware when switched into "expert edit
mode".
The sturdy metal enclosure of Virus TI Snow
houses a pair of stereo inputs and outputs (output level @
+4dB), MIDI in- and outputs. USB can be used for Total
Integration, which offers another three stereo outputs into
the Virus Control plug-in and sample-accurate MIDI timing.
The audio inputs can be utilised to mangle any type of sound
using the filters and effects.
The Snow comes in a messenger bag which
offers enough space for the power supply and additional
cables.
Pricing & Availability:
In Australia the Snow will retail for $2,199 inc GST.
