Access Virus,

Okay, I spent a lot of time with the Access guys today trying to get answers to the Virus TI questions you guys had.

They are still programming the TI which will be available in release in about three or four weeks.

The wave tables are of course, modeled, and there are 64 waves available. They are designed by Access, so you don't get PPG waves and things like that. You cannot yet build your own wavetables or import your own waves, but those things may happen in the future in updates. Wave tables currently range from a single sine wave to as many as 32 waves. The maximum possible is 128. Currently, 40 different wavetables have been programmed and more are on the way, with a target of 64. Polyphony has been increased dramatically and supersaws sound awesome. There is now reverb and reverb can be assigned separately to each multi-timbral part. Destinations for routing have been doubled. I think that's about it.

3 or 4 weeks? At least they want everything smooth. . . but damn, i'm sure some people feel like they've been shot (again :D ) Thanks for the info!

Saw this too. I think it is a good thing they are trying to get it in tip top shape for release, but next time they should be a little more realistic about the release date.
Who knows if Access is just playing a game though. Maybe tomorrow or sunday they will announce TI's will ship on Mon. 8O

Doubt it though! :x

Good GOD that is a nice lookin piece of hardware. At least we know it is workin on a mac and Logic! :lol:

[Hollowcell]

It's nice to know they are thinking about having the option to import your own waves - very nice feature if it becomes reality.

C'mon sound demos! They should be here anyday now. Even a video from Namm would be great!

As you says it's time to be realist. Strop playing we are not Mices :(
All shop announced mid feb for th TI . It seems that Acces say that it will be ready at this time.

I'll wait again for 3 or 4 weeks, if they still play with us ....BYE BYE ACCESS.......

[mcoyote]

WTF? If you look in those pictures you see at least one person jamming on a TI Polar (headphones)...does *anyone* know what these things are supposed to sound like? Do they make any noise of any kind at all? Just curious...still want one... ;)

Taken from the above link:

"C'est tout nouveau et on ne l'attendait pas : un s?quenceur sign? FXpansion !"


I don't speak french...does that say, "Something new and unexpected: a sequencer by FXpansion"? I've always liked their stuff...

That Apple Cinema Display 30" is only $3000. Not much more than a Virus TI keyb. ;)
