Any classic desktop user's think this is bullshit????
 

I was just on Access's website and there is a ton of shit from NAMM and every where else about the Virus TI , but nothing about the Classic desktop (which is also a pretty new product from Access)......I don't know about you , but, I paid a grand for my Virus (Which for a regular working guy like me is a lot of fuckin' money) Sorry I did not throw you another $1,600 but FUCK YOU Access! I am not saying anything against TI user's........it's just this corparate bullshit that pisses me off.........same reason I will never buy a Harley Davidson. SEEYA!!!!!!!!

sorry to say but you bought a reissued virus b basicly...
i had the same thing 2 years ago when i bought my virus rack,they havent upgraded it since.

I'm not sure what the problem is. The Classic is a re-packaged Virus B and the OS for it is currently stable and bug free. They aren't going to be adding any new features to it, ever. You've still got a very good synth but had to pay considerably less for it than a TI.

I know it is a reissued B.....but shit they could have supported it a little better......shit even the demo they use for it "endorphines" .......they could have at least came up with a new demo......I mean it is a Virus, and does have a kick ass sound to it (and "Endorphines" sucks, IMO). It just pisses me off (THE GREED).......Yes the TI is cool........Yes the TI is deeper than the Classic. But for a grand a piece (and I know that I am not the only one that has bought one).........SHAME ON YOU ACCESS!!!!!

Yeah , well let's be honest, how much do you think for part's and assembly it cost's to reissue a B....$200 - $300 I would bet...... So no offense but your "I'm not sure what the problem is" attitude just show's that maybe you should read my posting a little slower and try a little harder to comprehend it.

Ok......so that means they can basically do a crappy job marketing/Supporting it????? I keep hearing that Access is such a great company......and one of the only one's that truely stands behind thier products.........All I am saying is NOT TRUE.......they just want you to buy thier newest/ most expensive product !!!!!

Buy a synth for what it is at any one time.

The Classic is sold as a finished product, namely the VirusB engine. If you wanted any more at the time you should have gone with a VirusC.

Or is that too obvious? :roll:

Not to blow sugar up the arse of Access or anything but I think their customer care is better than most - have you ever asked for support from Roland?

What the hell does this have to do with anything I have written? No shit the Classic is a finished product......so once the TI is completly upgraded (and all the bugs are worked out of the O.S.) then should Access stop marketing / supporting it (Espeacially if they are still selling it). Or should they put all of thier focus on what ever new product they are selling for the highest price! I know it seems like I am completly dogging out Access and you for that fact ( I am sorry that is not my goal.......I am trying to make the point of that if you are selling a product for $1,000 you should......put a little more support behind it.....not just put all your energy into the product that is selling for the most money)! I really love my Virus Classic desktop and am thankfull to Access for selling it ........ Well hopefully you get my point......SEEYA!!!!

Yeah but 2 wrong's don't make a right. And I was not talking about customer support.

What the fuck are you complaining about???

Not enough marketing of an old product???

No support??? What do you mean no support??? You have some issues mate, and if this shit is all you have to complain about, you need to get some fucking perspective. FFS

Seriously.

$1000 is peanuts to pay for an awesome fucking synth. I spent almost 3 times that on my Virus C, and Im as happy as larry. It is still unclear to me just exactly WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS???

You need to stop worrying about the marketing of a product and start programming you Virus mate. Do something constructive and creative.

Obviously I pissed off a guy from marketing!!! ( That's who you work for right)? And if you paid 3 times what I paid on a Classic then maybe you should ask yourself "Why did Access get rid of my C" (instead of upgrading the fucking thing) "And are now trying to pound the TI up my ass" ????? I am completely happy with my Virus classic (I have not said once that it is a bad board) (I have not said that Access has shitty customer support) (I have said that they are doing a crappy job marketing the Classic desktop)!!!!!! Also my friend has a Virus C and an original minimoog and personally I think my Nord 2 x (which was based on a prophet) does a better job emulating the mini than the Virus filter does........OK HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE UPSET WITH ME NOW!!!!!!!! :twisted:

Virus Classic is just a renamed Virus B (which is discontinued) and the reason why Access sell it is that there are so many people who want to buy a cheaper/older Virus model, not the flagship model. And it's quite obvious that it won't have any major OS updates because the current os for Virus B works very well and doesn't need updates. And they are already using the dsp of the synth to the maximum. If you take a look at the Virus B's history, you can see that there were lots of os updates and even the reverb wasn't included at first. They added it later among other features. There are still many studios which use Virus B and haven't even upgraded to C because the B is already a very good synth and gives you the classic Virus sound without any compromises.

VERY TRUE.

That's the spirit! We haven't seen a hate thread for ages. :D

Re: Any classic desktop user's think this is bullshit????
 

In some sense I feel you, Being a novice to access products until about a year ago when I began watching the T1 debut, I was imediatley "sold up" into the t1 models thinking that the classic would be a sub par investment......how much of that was due to marketing hype? About 50% I am sure....Sometimes We get so caught up in tech/specs that we forget the great music made using traditional midi in/out into a midi converter and then into the host computer......

I have pulled out a lot of my early astral projection (1995+) cd's latley to remind my self not to get caught up in it......

I am a working guy as well, with kids an a mountaneering gear addiction as well......

I don't get it - has there been an official statement saying that there will be no more development of the Classic OS?

Drammy

There was never a statement that there would be.

Nope. Just a student here, working part time in a small coffee shop

Access didnt get rid of my C, when I bought it (a few years ago now) there were a couple of updates, including the Moog filters. Great stuff by the way.

Access arent trying to pound anything up my arse. Im not interested in buying a TI. Therefore the marketing bears no consequence on my life. Even if I did want a TI, I wouldnt let marketing dictate what I bought. Thats what suckers are for (like yourself)

Good on ya...

You dont get it, do you... Are SONY still marketing products that are a few years old? NO... they arent. They are marketing their new shit, even though the old shit is available in stores.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion... Even you.

Mate, you need to get involved! You always sit on the sidelines you pussy! Grow a pair...

(Hows that for HATE :twisted: :twisted: )

;)

STOP FUCKING SWEARING!!!!

But if I get involved I'd be worried my nice, sweet, wholesome online image would be ruined. I'm the nice guy mixed in with all you low-life cunts - maybe you didn't notice. :D

Gave me a real laugh this bit. :D

I should have guessed a faggot coffee maker trying to write Techno 8O Yes they did get rid/stop making the model C , they replaced it with the TI..........and lets just see if there will be anymore updates for the C (I would'nt hold my breath if I were You.......thankfully I'm not) :roll: : 'NO NAME CALLING!!!! YOU.......YOU CHILD MOLESTING GOAT FUCKER' :twisted: : The Classic Desktop is not that old of a product!!! :roll:

I find a comment like this hard to swallow from someone who chose their username to be TEENGIRLLUST! Unbelievable!

:lol:

Yes, soon Access will announce the "Homophobic Pedophile" upgrade for their Classic modules....

Ah. Hatred is strong in Teengirllust..! He'll be drawn to the dark side of vengence, seeking virus-synthesizer to slaughter during the fullmoon.. Soon his transformation from human into a DSP-card will be complete!

Although. I really can't see what the problem is.. You bought an virus-synthesizer that works just fine and you want even more? Why didn't you go for an used C instead if you wanted ? You'd probably would gotten it alot cheaper from ebay than a brandnew classic.

EDIT:
I really love their new "Michael Jackson Filter" - It's marketed as; Touching the young boys genitals while you are on stage tweaking your knob live.. Great move by Access and from rumours i've heard it will be available as an upgrade for the 'classic' soon.

TEENGIRLLUST is an emotion that only a teenage girl can have .......The band name is not 'I lust teenage girls' . And anyway it was not directed at you

he,he,he!!!! I never said I wanted a Virus C (If I had a choice I would rather have the original Indigo......it look's like it's from outer space.....very cool)! The minimoog filter emulation in the C really doesn't interest me that much (And the red led , I could not imagine staring at it for hours on end......no offense).

If it aint broke.. dont fix it ;)



No need for an update.. the B\Classic is a quality synth.

Theres a lot lots sound banks available on the access site.

Access will be putting all their time into the TI, trying to make it work properly for a start :lol:

Just be greatfull for what you have.. the only people who should be angry are the TI owners and the Virus powercore owners.. because those do actually need the updates and support.

VERY TRUE!!!!!

STOP THE PRESS!!!

COMPANIES SELL PRODUCTS FOR MORE THAN THEY COST TO PRODUCE!!!!

WHO'D OF THUNK IT?

So why did you buy it then if you weren't happy about this?

Have you even needed support for the Classic? I'd have thought the OS was pretty much bug free by now.

And why would they market heavily anything but their flagship product?

Again, I'm not really sure why you are upset. You want them to spend money advertising the Classic because you have already bought one? What purpose would that serve?

I totally agree with Ledge here :)

I went down a Ford Dealers the other day for some spare parts (New Double head lights)for my 1979 Mk2 Ford Escort RS 2000...They didn't have the spare parts for this Classic Vehicle the Bastards... :lol: Sorry couldn't resist :lol: ...Was a great car though
Thought i better change the subject
....................................................

no, we just discontinue it so this thread won't happen again ;)

marc

LOL! that's mr. "product dictator" talking straight.

This thread is 100% pointless. There is no way Access would or should market a product which has already been establised for 3 years. No company does that....not even big giants like Microsoft.....do you see them marketing the shit out of Windows 98?....Hell there are still '98 users out there! Come off it....

DS

So i won't be getting me headlights then :cry: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Or did you guys not get the meaning of the Ford Escort Joke??????

Its a shame....because its a nice car :lol:

Has some kinda Mad Max atmosphere going on there....I like it

DS

Of course not.. It has been 8 years since Win98 - they are currently promoting their top of the line; Win2000!
