Will the VC (in a near future) have the punchy and clean sound from the V- POCO??
What do you think about that ??Is the software taking the best advantage from the 2.0 USB connection ??

I have hope to have a full functional VST with 16 output singin with 80 voice choir heheheh

But first fix the GOD DAMN THING ACCESS!!!

first, it's not USB 2.0 -> no 16 audio channels!

second, the poco virus doesn't sound different if you don't play it at 96 KHz. so, it's not punchier or really different. i don't know how do you come to this conclusion.

so long

the POCO virus will sound as good as your soundcard's digital to audio convertors are. (DACs)

you will not get 16 audio channels but 6 or 8 cant recall exacly- same amount as in the virus indigo.

about the future I/O in VC you must have spotted my sarcasm.... no ???

But honestly, i have installed V-POCO demo in my computer and it feels different somehow maybe more controlled/contained than VControl...

well maybe its just my ears and my partner ears 8O

this post was exactly for knowing if somebody had the same feeling !!

All I know that the Virus powercore sounds great, 100% Virus sound. I don't understand why people buy TI for it's sound altough the synth cannot be used normally? The reported bootup problems and crashes really keep me away from buying one. The software updates may fix some of the major problems for some people at some point but anybody who has worked with dsp cards (powercore firewire for example) know that it's impossible to make the synth work in usb mode with every possible computer. In theory, the total integration is a very good idea but it's nearly impossible to make it work with every computer setup.

I guess Access would be selling as many new Viruses altough they had left the TI features away and the synth might even work as well as Virus B and C do. When I still had a Virus KC, I never had a thought that it would suddenly crash or not power up properly. I hope Access will get things fixed soon, at least that the synth could be used bug free without the usb.
