We can dream: Access Monosynth - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

So I've had a waldorf pulse for a while, which is easily my favorite monosynth that I've ever played (and I've played them all), and I can't help but think it would be great if access came out with their own analog monosynth

How ridiculous would that be!

Imagine a 3 VCO monosynth with analog filters modeled after the virus filters (selectable between 1-4 pole ala the little phatty)
analog saturation,
a mod matrix,
arpeggiator
and the FX section of the virus,
with a knob per function keyboard the size of the polar!

Priced around $1500 it would fucking dominate!

anyone else with me here on this dream?

Are the oscs analog, too?

Sure why not? It would have the option to be Analog or digital... MonoEvolver-esque hybridization.

VCO = Analog.

The concept of modeling an analog filter from a digital one is amusing! Not poking fun. Just the total opposite of the norm and has some comedic value. But on a serious note, I think it would be extremely difficult to make an analog filter that sounds like the Virus filter.

That's what I was thinking, but I didn't want to be a naysayer... I mean it's an analog synth modeled after a digital synth that was modeled after an analog synth...

it doesn't mean it couldn't happen or won't happen, but it doesn't seem to really be access's bag...
