is it just me that thinks these colour swaps are a bit silly ?

I can't say I'm excited, it is after all just a synth, so who really gives a toss what colour scheme they use?

We want more synth functions and more sound shaping options, not more purdy colours.

actually, I really wanted to see a white keyboard (my signature had been created much much earlier than the actual model came out)or this black polar... but why are they limited editions? :confused: ... OK, I know when people are thinking about buying a Virus a new and exciting color scheme will make them hurry to the shop, but come on... it's not that cheap you wanna/gonna buy many from different colors, so a constant palette of different colors of each model would be nice.... in fact, I'm planning to buy a white keyboard one day but still don't have the money, so I'll only be able to buy a used one?

Timo 09.01.2011 10:10 PM

The 61-key whiteout was the definitive perfect aesthetic, imho!! Nice wooden cheeks on each end too, rather than under the keybed on the Polar.

I seriously need to upgrade my Indigo.

Marc, it might be just me, but I can see you're really excited about something for NAMM...?

Marc , I'm not saying that the white virus isn't pretty, as it is.. in a nerdy synth way. (My 3 most appealing to aethetics synths are the whiteout Ti, Waldord XTK and Emu EIII, the rest are just boxes that make noises to me)

I'm just saying that making a limited "black" edition run of a synth, which was originally black in the first place, isn't a blow my socks off moment for me. I've had 3 hardware virus synths now and all of 'em have been black.

Though if it sells you more gear , then good luck with it!

:)

and your linky no worky

AndrewM 09.01.2011 11:03 PM

Well, we at least know we can look forward to an semi major OS update soon. 4.5 it is... I predict a compressor/limiter being implemented! What other vintage FX could be added that could not be achieved already?

marc 09.01.2011 11:05 PM

here's a new link, which hopefully will serve better: http://vimeo.com/18603358

as for your comment, we like making limit editions and so it seems, our users do like as well. of course, everybody has his own preference in style - so don't worry, there are always the classic options: for instance Polar White.

and yes, i'm excited - it's NAMM time and new things will be released! and personally as well, the snow just melted here and it's grim outside. i'm off to california in a couple of hours, can't be that bad :)

Timo 09.01.2011 11:42 PM

My ploy to tease more info worked.

Movie 1... Juno chorus. :O

Air Chorus sounds like it will be really useful for subtle modulation.

Digging Ben's Hammond skillz! The new FX sound really versatile.

Happy infekted New Year, and have fun in California/NAMM. :)

I was hoping for that however new chorus's are still useful, the vintage juno one hit the spot for me as well as the hyper chorus. Don't see myself using the others though unless a little basic vibrato is needed and no lfo's are left.

I hope they add a compressor or some form of 'vintage channel strip' at some point.

rcmusic 10.01.2011 04:56 PM

a new vocoder would have been great too, with near-talkbox effects for example.

So does this mean we can finally emulate "Alpha Juno - What the.." Mentasm hoovers ? (Pulse osc + sub osc + porta + chorus)

Was at the NAMM show today and got to see another exciting new product called the profiling amplifier. Unbelievable character match to an actual amp. I watched as they took a real Mesa Boogie amp/cab and set the Profiling Amplifier to model it (took a couple minutes). Then they A/B the sound while a guy was playing guitar in real-time. It was literally mind blowing.

I attached a pic of the profiling amp, but if you want to see all the NAMM pictures from today, visit our Facebook page.

cl516 14.01.2011 06:00 AM

the facebook page says new sources have been added, anyone got more info...?

pauldavid 15.01.2011 07:15 PM

Thanks for the vid.

Personally I was like some others and hoping for somthing like added envelopes on top of the filter envelope and amp envelope, which isnt excactly a necessity, but I have noticed some times when it would be useful although I know there is ways around it.

But apart from that, I am very excited about the new chorus additions !!!
The sounds in the demo vids are very nice indeed and can see why they was added....would like to know how to make those patches as well especially the organ type one.

The organ one is already in the virus ROM's , it's an old patch although he just added the new rotary speaker emu to it in the vid.

Oh it is ? ..cool.
To be honest I dont think I have looked through all of the presets I have on there and especially dont think I have ever really looked for or needed an organ patch, but I like how this one sounds and would be useful for when I .....erm...hmmm....am playing in church or somthing.:p

Some of the little wooden churches in Reverence are kinda cosy :)

enfield 16.01.2011 11:15 AM

last day of NAMM, hopefully SonicState posts some coverage, at last...

Timo 16.01.2011 01:20 PM

Marc did effectively say they have something else up their sleeves, and if can read between the lines he seemed quite excited.

So far, the only vid I've seen was Ben demonstrating the already announced new chorus types and mentioning a few extra mod matrix slots.

enfield 17.01.2011 04:15 PM

here we go:

http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2011/...-45-higlights/

hilarious ending :D
(if you know where '45 days' comes from ;))

Timo 17.01.2011 06:32 PM

Wtf's up with those cookies! lol. You can hear Ben chuckle a little as the second one was placed down.

Ben forever the professional, trying to stay focussed.

Fun demo.

I reckon OS v4.5 will round out the TI|2 series. TI|3 will be next year!

Roby31 18.01.2011 03:28 AM

Still hoping for another year's worth of features :P

rcmusic 18.01.2011 11:56 AM

the question is, did he eat the cookies while made the demo and we did not see anything ? if yes, so professional ..... ;-)))))

the cookies were just a little treat ;) - and the best speculation was that he always gets a cookie when he got a feature right
