Virus TI feature wishlist. [NOT regarding bugs]

[mw7]

I'd like a 61-key Polar with violet LEDs and a 9" color widescreen that attaches to the back of the unit. I'd also like an on/off switch and more knobs, eliminating the need for a shift key.

It would be great to see something in the virus control that displayed the resource usage of the ti. As I start stacking on more and more parts, I would love to see how the cpu is doing and how many voices I have left at any given time. This would help me approximate how much more room (to add more sounds) I have left before I start to max out the system.

You already have this early warning system built in. Its called SatanSaw

On a serious note.....quite a good idea Dr Jones!

Yeah, this would be great. However Access might also shoot themselves in the foot by doing that because now most people think that the polyphony is 80 or more always. They might loose some customers if the synth showed the reduced polyphony after adding another reverb etc. But anyway, that would be a good idea. People should just understand that the dsp engine is dynamic.

I'd like to see some more choices for the waveshaper. Step sequencer would be nice, but not obligatory (get a Radias and MIDI it up for that! <g>). Some sort of LED indicator for voice-stealing, though my ears usually give me sufficient info there when I'm patching. Comb filter might be nice, though subtle use of flanger, phaser and chorus together does a similar thing. Ability to overwrite a selected ROM bank. Provide alternate functionality for the shift button, so that either a) it works as currently, or b) it's a toggle for all shift-related functions. Latter is better for the studio than the stage, though. Ability to use arpeggiator as a source in the modulation matrix. And/or step sequencer, if made available (OTOH since you have the ability to choose any MIDI CC #, within reason, to apply as a mod source, this is redundant if you have ANY other synth with sequencer capability and ability to output seq to MIDI, of course). Full Sysex spec included with manual (sorry, I'm old-school). Loopable envelope segments (A6!). Visual graphics for all wavetables (yikes!) in a manual or PDF, so I know more explicitly what I'm scanning thru when I modulate (though using my ears is sufficient here). Can you choose start and endpoints for a wavetable to scanthru currently (probably)? If not, would be nice to be able to set both, on each osc.

Not a lot I can think of, this is a pretty full-featured synth!

I want a juno filter emulation

I would like the TI only to open channels bieng used in VC. for example: besides opening up all 16 channels on initial start up have it open just one and from there add whats needed. I dont use all 16 tracks at a time.

One of these on every patch.
