Virus C's OS update idea.
 

Well, as the main reason for not incuding the new OSCs as an OS update for the C-series is RAM (I think), I have come up with an idea to remedy the problem.

Get rid of the vocoda section to make way for the new OSCs. You can give people the choice if you like. They can keep OS 6.5 if they want to use the vocoda, or update to 6.6 for the new OSCs.

What do you think Access? Will getting rid of the vocoda free enough RAM?

Good idea, but dont think it will happen. Access wont be able to justify charging an arm and a leg for more voices, software, and a new hardware look.
Now, they might consider it maybe as an upgrade. In other words charging extra for the OS update. WHo knows, just MO.

Can oscilators be upgraded via OS updates? Interesting.....

hmmmmmm nice idea, i've never used the vocoder of my C since i bought it 3 years ago! so i'd really get rid of it if it would leave its place for new osc waveforms or polyphony!... the hypersaw for example would be great :D ... more polyphony would be a gift from access too, one could combine the 3rd osc and unison more freely without caring avout voices...

Dont know for sure, but I would assume so snice it is all code on a dsp chip. If they can add new filters, i would think they could add new osc's.
Again, I am talking out of my a$$, so who knows.

I remember reading somewhere on this forum a post written by Marc (Access employee), stating that originaly they spoke about upgrading the C with new OSCs, but it was a RAM issue. I'll try to find the post to make sure I'm not mis-quoting or somthing though.

Be right back.

EDIT: Found it.

So how about it Access? Get rid of the Vocoda to make space for the new OSCs? Please.

And give us an (offline) editing tool for the waveforms? That would rule supreme ;)

if given the choice, i'd take a programmable additive oscillator over either a wavetable or a supersaw.

Basicly I'd take anything over that Vocoda. C'mon wavetable!

Access, before our wish list increases any more - is it possible to get rid of the Vocoda to make space for new OSCs?

there is a live chat on the access website, why don't we ue it ?
