yes it does exactly that, but I kind of can't be bothered using it, and it doesnt say what each one does, even in the demo video Ben Crosland is just like "They can make it emulate the sound of famous analog synths"

well, which ones!?

Availability?
 

When will the new hardware be available?? :D

Shortly after NAMM

I could see using all the new DSP power. In songs that are mostly TI, I often hit the wall with polyphony.

Here's the catch...

It's that wall that keeps me in check and tells me. "Hey Andrew, chill out..." Then I go.... "Oh yeah... " The world of TI polyphony has made me lavish all my music in sonic possiblity, and pay less attention to all the silence that makes dance music pop. I think the TI has the perfect amount of voices...

I am happy oh so happy with this OS, the TI, and my current state of music mind.

Marc, Just wanted to drop a note to thank you guys for opening up OS 3 to the TI range! I just bought a TI Keyboard recently and I would have hated to have had to trade it in already! Big thumbs up here. I like supporting companies that support their users in return :)

Looking and working very good so far here! Yeah!

Alex

That a great news for my Snow, thank Marc ;)

I can't thank you guys enough for not abandoning us early adopters of the Virus Ti lineup. I was actually quite sad when I heard of the Ti2 being released as I only just bought my Ti about 6 months ago now. When I read that the new OS3 was available for the older units too I was very, very surprised and extremely happy to boot. Just reading of the new features made me want the Ti2. Now I get those features without having to worry about shelling out for a whole new unit. In these economic times, not many can do such a thing.

Thanks again and keep up the great work. I look very, very forward to receiving any new updates you guys can offer. Access support really is as good as I heard it was before I even bought my unit.

I wish they would let you reset a knob back to zero by double clicking on it.
in version2 i always find it fiddley in vc moving the knobs small amounts but it seems alot better in version3.

@ Marc , if he reads this.....

Any chance of implementing a shift toggle somewhere ?

Playing while trying to adjust a parameter while holding shift is getting a bit complex :)

64bit would be a WIN.

I think the real update is the OS. I think the hardware is more of like when they put out a new smaller model of the playstation 2 when the components are made smaller, etc. - maybe kind of a mkII. One of the main features of this ti2 is that it is a lot lighter. My TI P0lar is pretty heavy so that's kind of cool, I guess. I'm very happy that my TI P0lar is not obsolete and will still be supported and updated. I'm also very happy about the OS - it Rules!

I just bought my TI like about a month ago!!
So happy its not ganna be obsolete instantly

think we all need to say a big thank you to access.

they could of turned there back on previous buyers. I have never known a company to do this. bug fixes, yes but this is a hole new toy.

looks like for all of us who choose a ti, over other synths, have made the right choice. all those hard saved pounds were well spent.

thank you.

they release a new model but yet us with the old 1 get it for free. kind of... they could of charged for this upgrade like a software product would.

sorry but am jst realy happy i bought a virus ti. had mine for some time and it jst keeps getting better. as i learn the more it can do.

Just stopping by to say a HUGE thanks to the Access team for what looks like a great update. I only installed yesterday so haven't yet tried all the new stuff but had to drop by and congratulate the great folks at Access.

I can't thank Access enough.

I remember years ago trying to make a decision on which piece of kit to buy as my new main studio synth. I am so glad I brought a Virus TI. No other piece of hardware I know of has received so many excellent FREE updates.

When I heard of the Virus TI mkII range, I thought it meant the end of support for my TI keyboard (and realistically, after continual firmware updates with superb added features for years now, this would not have surprised me). The fact that Access are releasing this update to existing owners shows that they truly are dedicated to their users.

It's funny that I initially hesitated about buying my Virus. If I knew back then of all the features that would be added over time, my decision would have been easy - the Virus was without the slightest of doubt the smartest purchase I think I've ever made.

Thanks so much Access... the features you keep adding are brilliant, and thus my Virus remains my most loved piece of studio kit!

I'm looking forward to installing this new OS soon...

is there a way to get all the new (i assume most of them are new) 't12 factory backup' presets in to the search categories?

ive put all the ti2 banks in my patches folder and it sees and uses them all ok but i dont think theyre being included in the search categories.

which EQ band specifically?

marc

guys,

we did a partial redesign of the motherboard to allow for more DSP power. as for "It's not a Ti V2 though" i don't think there would be a more moderate way to indicate the revision, especially as the "2" is not even a part of the name on the synth itselves.

best, marc

it is in the pdf brochure and a copy/paste error. the snow still has the same about of voices. it wasn't newly introduced and upgraded anyway.

best, marc

the TI2 will have a new soundset. TI1 user can listen to it by navigating virus control to the "backup" of the new set within the patches folder.

best, marc

that's your host (logic e.g.) , not the virus. i've commented on that elsewhere

best, marc

two things: the knobs behave the same in the old and new version. resetting to zero is not possible but for the value used in the original patch. just cmd-click on the knob. TI2 backup banks on your disc show up in the search results.

best, marc

Is the new soundset already included or will it be available later? I didn't quite get it.

Thanks for clearing this up!

So if the TI has the Full Speed chipset does this mean it can never be upgraded to a High Speed speed through a software/firmware update?

I wonder which chipset the TI2 has...

It's available via the browser in Virus Control v3. Look in the Public Libraries section, under Virus TI2 Factory Backup... hope this helps?

You can use the patch volume as a destination in the mod matrix, this now happens after the effects so you can chop the reverb trails etc on off in a trippy kinda way:)

That would have been a bit much anyway.. "you had 2 dsp chips all along. surprise!" :D

As far a the upgade is concerned, nothing but words of praise to all of you at Access music. The Ti sets a new bar for value. One I don't see any other manuracturer catching up to any time soon... I just wish others would finally learn from you and give us more VST compatable synths. :rolleyes:
No bugs so far in v3. Seems to be working great in cubase.

Still wondering about 64bit version? Is this included/planned? Cubase 5 is gonna be 64bit so...

finaly bought the TI2 :o)
 

Hi there,

I'm a total newbie with Access and finally decided to buy a TI2 desktop and did so last week. After reading the quickstart manual, steinberg cubase and the reference tutorial and tweeking knobs I have a feeling there is a steep trial/error learning curve ahead for me. Maybe it is the lack of documentation or I'm just not smart enough! :confused:

If someone could tell me where to find more detailed (dummy) information with pictures and stuff I would be very happy.

Cheers,
Joel
