powercore virus?
 

This is not a whine/rant but.....

I'm starting to wonder (since we all have computers already and using DAW/sequencing software) if the powercore (or 2) plus an Ulimited virus license (allows you to use as many dsp as you have powercores opposed to only 4 voices on 1 dsp with single license) combined with a fat weighted/semi/knoby/slider/d-beam controller or even a virus a/b/c/classic.....

A/D/A is 24 bit 96 with an 828 or such, and on the firewire buss.....

May be a more flexable, expandable, stable, bug free alternative to the T1. And you get all those extra tc-plugins.....

Only kind academic, intellectual, mature, mindfull, socratic responses if possible :wink:

Are you saying you don't know which one to get??if so then wait out for the OS1.1 you can not compare the Poco Virus to the Ti..
BTW the POCO virus is a B

Although I didnt get any myself, lots of people were finding the virus powercore extremly buggy also.

Its 16 voices per dsp btw. And if you didnt know already you cant combine dsps to get monster polyphony with the unlimited licence like some people think. Its just multiple instances of 16. Still not bad.....I prefer my up to 80 poly personally ;)

I think your point of view is quite convincing. I actually have the single license (found a good price on craigs list), but my computer (g4 800) is to slow to do real time "synth" stuff, so I proccess audio with it. It's a wonderful efx plugin......

On my buddies Imac g5 which is plenty fast, It's been pretty lush and "relativley" bug free (So far i only use 1 voice at a time, but trigger and modulate with my oxegen 8 with no probs)

It got me thinking I could wait out the 1.1 update, while still being creative and enjoying the access sound I'm becoming rather strung out on.......

what other synths are you guys using?

Hi guys,

Just signed up this forum a little while ago. I am back in Virus teritoriy after a long break ;) I have a powercore firewire with the virus and am very happy with it so far. It's just so strange the sound of a virus coming out of your monitors without a black or red light in sight :P

Does anyone know if Access are still updating the virus powercore, and how often they update? Also are they planning any future developments or version of the plugin i.e changing the engine to a C with moog filters??

Thanks

Your best bet is to E-mail access and ask,But they have enough on there plate at the moment with the Ti update so if they do update the Virus powercore it might not be 4 a while....

if studio based is what your after the powercore virus should be a great alternative,its not TI but its still virus with alot of polyphony and dont forget that great stable VSTi control.

As far as I've read in the powercore forums and from a mate who bought poco with virus, it suffers from annoying bugs still being unsolved.

Yeh I think most are logic/MAC based.
