Latest full (non beta) OS version [Snow, TI|1 & TI|2]: OS v5.0.8.00 (19th Feb 2014)

New additions in TI OS v5:



Quote:
Envelope Generators:
Two new fully assignable one-shot EGs added for use as modulation sources.



Filterbank
Seven new filter effects added to the re-branded Filterbank (formerly called Freq. Shifter) alongside the previous Ring Mod, Freq. Shifter, Comb and Vowel filters.



These comprise of three new LP, BP and HP 'VariSlope' filters. Each allowing you to seamlessly morph from 2- through to 6-poles for gentler or steeper rolloffs respectively, offering additional control over the curve at the cutoff frequency itself, hence 'variable slope'...

.. and four additional new 1-, 2-, 4- and 6-pole 'XFade' (aka cross-fade) filters, each allowing you to seamless fade between low-pass through band-pass to high-pass filter modes.

TI OS v2 full details (user manual) PDF

OS v2 in short:
Quote:
Graintable synthesis and Formants.
Granular synthesis takes the existing wavetables and applies similar techniques to those used in some granular sampling and pitch-shifting algorithms, opening up a whole new world of possibilities. Each of the two main types: Grain Table and Formant Table are presented in both Simple and Complex formats.

Wavetable PWM Oscillator
Takes two instances of the same wavetable and phase-shifts them against each other to achieve an effect reminiscent of the traditional pulsewidth modulation of a pulse wave oscillator.

Additional Wavetables
27 additional new wavetables are included for OS v2. Selected to compliment the existing content and to exploit the characteristics of the new oscillator modes, flavours include filter-like sweeps, formant morphs, harmonic inter-play, Fibonacci sequences and more.

Section Locking
Locks aspects of one patch for use on (an)other patch(es). Enables Virus Control user to decide which aspect of a given sound is changed when browsing through patches. For example, retaining a delay (effects) pattern whilst browsing through other patches, or similar.

Inactive Parameters
The Virus Control plug-in now shows inactive parameters in a semi translucent fashion, as opposed to not including them at all (in previous versions), increasing the user's overview dramatically.

Patch Complexity Indicator
Playmode on the Virus TI hardware contains a new icon indicating the complexity of the current patch, analysing the available polyphony at your disposal. Similar to the battery status icon on a mobile phone, the icon shows between one and five bars where one bar stands for a rather "cheap" sound and five for a pretty "expensive" one.

Search By Category
With version 2.0 the Virus Control plug-in allows you to search for specific sounds by filtering for a patch category.

Two new ROM banks
In addition to the 17 ROM banks, OS v2.0 features two new ones by Matt Stolley and Matt Picone. Stolley’s "10 Dirty years" bank will probably get us intro trouble, either for his tendency of choosing explicit patch names or for the darkness of his latest breaks, electro and d'n'b bank. Assuming that you’re 18 years or older we suggest that you point your TI to bank ROM-R but only on mentally-stable days.

Matt Picone’s latest submission in contrast is rather bright and a welcome addition to the players among us. The new bank features versatile live patches, beautiful ambient beds and arpeggiators. Nevertheless there is a couple of sounds you shouldn’t use at a family dinner.

Default Virus TI Midi Name file for Moc OSX

This was given to me by John Debo on the Access mailing list. I modified it and made it work for the TI keyboard. Obviously, the first 4 banks of RAM are what John has.

Give it a go and let me know if it works for y'all. Personally I love it inside of PT.

TI OS v3.3.5.02 released 17th January 2010.

The new full release version mainly incorporates bug fixes (and also, since OS v3.3 (beta) & OS v3.3.4, 64-bit support for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7). Change-log since OS v3.3.0 (beta):

Quote:
OS v3.3.5.02 / v3.3.4 (Full)

• VC: tutorial links to FL Studio and Digidesign Protools in Help menu not working (fixed)
• VC: Virus Control did not reboot on OS X after disconnecting/reconnecting Virus TI (fixed)
• VC: graphical glitch in Remote Editor page (fixed)
• VC: Cubase on OS X crashed when using multiple automated parameters (fixed)
• VC: Removed the cause for some auval warnings (Mac)
• VC: automation in Cubase 5 64-bit/VST3 could not be edited correctly (fixed)
• IN: Repair Installation on Vista 64-bit did not update Virus TI firmware (fixed)
• IN: default location for 64-bit VST2 Plug-In (corrected)
• IN: Reliability of firmware during installation improved
• DR: MIDI interface stopped working on OS X after disconnecting/reconnecting Virus TI or after Sleep/Wake cycle (fixed)
• DR: Distorted sound when using Sidechain function as audio in (fixed)
• 64-bit support for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7

Known issues:
• Graphic Performance under Windows 7 needs fine tuning.
Side chaining into audio instruments is currently not supported in Steinberg Cubase. The VST3 version shouldn't be used in a productive environment.
[OS v3.3.5.02 forum discussion]

The original post in this thread has been edited to reflect the new OS.

The new OS is available for immediate download from Access' site:-

[Go!]

Also announced:

In short:
Quote:
