Virus C's OS update idea.

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

I know this will be a bit irratating......but I have a feeling Access have made an effort to make the TI a noticeble departure from previous versions of the virus (Esp the 2 new osc types). I dont think it makes sense for Access to blur the lines between the C model and the TI range by allowing the C model to have new osc types. If Access did this....I would then look at the TI in a different light and almost certainly couldnt justify buying it.

I think the most realistic OS update existing C owners could hope for would be an additional filter type and perhaps some modifications to the effects section (i.e. more distortion types etc).

Thats just my opinion....what do you all think?

ok i agree with u in a certain way, so let's hope for seperate delay/reverb for each part instead of the vocoder!

Sounds good

I'm pretty sure this would come down to DSP power, not RAM.

Anyway, I don't see why they shouldn't blur the lines between them a little. They did with all the other models.

Basicly the TI is TI - Total Intergration. The idea behind the TI can never be moved into the C series. The voices and FX per part can also never be moved into the C. Moving the OSCs only would not stop the sales of the TI in my opinion. It has too many other things going for it.

If people are selling their Cs for very little money to upgrade to the TI, just because of the new OSCs, then I think they are making a big mistake. If I was going to sell up, it would be for the fact that the TI is true multi-timbral with FX per part, heaps of voices, possible updates will be amazing with sort of power and the fact it can be used as a nice quality audio device (saves buying a second soundcard, or a card with more outputs).

C'mon Access. Do an update for the C. Please.....

I think it's a great idea Hollowcell! Hope you succeed in your quest, if it's possible. Keep it up.

Thanks Timo.

I think because Marc mentioned that it was originally on the drawing board, I think it should be done.

Get rid of the Vocoda! Who's with me?

Do you think access will invest in coming up with updates for the C given that it's already a discontinued product? In a business point of view I don't think they will. I think they'll keep their eyes on the Classic and TI instead...Unless Access thinks differently.

The B series was upgraded long after it was discontinued, so I'm pretty sure there will be something in store for the C. And to quote Marc again (Access employee):
"because as with new osc waves which were brought up as a possible update before it requires memory which does not exist in the C series.

best, marc"

This was written after the release of the TI. So fingers crossed all you C users.

i think this is a great idea HC.
i doubt access will provide an update like this for a little while yet - as it would detract from the interest in the new series
i know a few people that would be very interested in this update, so good luck mate
