It's therefore hard to be precise about the polyphony you can expect from the TI. If you use seriously DSP-intensive patches, you might run out after three or four parts with only slightly more polyphony than the Virus C maybe about 40 voices. Leaner patches fewer Unison voices, for example, and fewer effects will give you greater polyphony.
But in the studio context, it was enough that I didn't run into problems. The Virus C's physical power button has been replaced with a soft power button on the TI, so the synth is in Standby mode when you plug it in, and one of the Transpose LED blinks to indicate this. To power it up, you press the two Transpose buttons together, and you do almost the same to put the synth back into Standby mode, except you have to hold the buttons down for two seconds while a countdown appears on the Virus' display.
Once the Virus is powered up, it behaves just like a stand-alone synth, and if you don't want to use your Virus TI as a plug-in, you don't have to. The new TI sound engine is worth the price of admission, even if you forget the computer integration aspect.
Comparing the TI to several previous Viruses, I felt the TI sounded better, partly due to improvements in its effects algorithms and also to having access to greater polyphony for more Unison voices. Although the Virus' D-A converters are now specified as being kHz, the Virus' internal clock offers either a So my assumption is that the engine itself still functions at either of these sampling rates, rather than at kHz, and that this high value is more indicative of the quality of the converters used it's not clearly stated anywhere, but my guess is that incoming The A-D converters have also been improved, and now operate at bit resolution, as opposed to bit.
One really nice improvement on the TI is that you now have independent delay and reverb effects for each of the 16 parts, and this is great when working in Multi mode, which embeds all the data for every part in one patch, rather than simply referencing Single mode patches as in previous Viruses.
But perhaps the highlight of the new Virus TI engine is the addition of two new oscillators: Hypersaw and a true Wavetable oscillator.
One nice touch is the ability to adjust which wave in the table you're using via the Wavetable Index parameter, and the waves are crossfaded to allow for smooth transitions, which works really well. If you assign Osc 2 as a Wavetable oscillator, you can also use the FM features of the second oscillator to sonically destroy anything!
Hypersaw is basically a sawtooth oscillator, except that it's able to generate up to nine sawtooth waves in parallel, and you can add more and take away these additional oscillators in real time with no glitching, which is really neat. Needless to say, this is great for huge-sounding patches, and there's a detune option on the Hypersaw oscillator to really thicken the sound, along with a sync toggle.
However, because Hypersaw is effectively 'nine oscillators in one', you can also use the Virus' Unison mode to have up to eight Hypersaw oscillators per note, which means you could have 72 oscillators per note!
Or, do the same with the second oscillator and get oscillators per note, and add a bit of the sub-oscillator for bass! This is just plain wrong, but so addictive! Other features of the new TI engine include six modulation matrix slots with one source and three destinations, giving six sources and 18 destinations in total.
There are, however, a few problems that were present in the engine that Access are gradually fixing through updates. There are some issues with the arpeggiator when trying to slave the Virus to an incoming MIDI Clock signal which older Virus users may remember from previous 'first' versions , although I didn't find this a problem when using the Virus in TI mode as a plug-in, presumably since the sequencer coordinates the sample-accurate sync.
And there seems to be a problem with the tuning in the arpeggiator occasionally, which completely foxed me for a while, but I later found other users having the same problem, which has been described on forums as the 'drunken' arpeggiator. In short, aside from a few teething troubles, the new sound engine is amazing. However, it's now time to look at the seriously impressive aspect of the new Virus — the computer integration.
Installing the Virus TI for use with your computer sequencer is easy, and although a CD-ROM is supplied containing the installation software, Access recommend checking their web site to make sure you have the current version. Once you've launched the installer, the appropriate software will be installed, and during this process Windows users will be asked to connect the Virus to a USB port on their computer Mac users can simply connect the Virus after the installation.
The Windows installer also informs you and this advice concerns both Mac and Windows users, as described in the manual that you cannot connect the TI to your computer via a USB hub — see the box over the page for more info.
Once the drivers are installed, the Windows installer will ask you to disconnect and reconnect your Virus TI, and after this the installation will be complete. If the installer is supplied with a firmware update for the Virus TI OS, the cross-platform Virus TI Firmware Update application will run for about 10 minutes, during which you can't do anything to the synth.
It's now time for the real fun to begin. This means that you can use the TI as a front end for your computer music system with no extra MIDI or audio hardware required, which is useful.
And what's really nice is that the audio driver output will be mixed with the output of the Virus synth engine, which already gives you a much more integrated approach than ever before with a hardware synth. The only things I found annoying were the rough nature of the user interface for the ASIO Control Panel for Windows users see right , and the lack of documentation describing how to use it.
It's not obvious how the options should be configured, and the layout looks like a throwback from Windows 3. On the Mac side, I set the buffer size in Logic to samples approximately 3ms at There's also the all-important USB 2.
In addition to these facilities, the Polar and Keyboard models also feature a built-in PSU the Desktop has an external brick , two jack connections for Control and Hold pedals It'll look good on stage! Of course, the feature we've all been waiting for is to run the actual Virus synth engine as a plug-in. And if you're wondering whether the Virus TI can still operate as an audio and MIDI interface when running the Virus engine as a plug-in, the answer is yes — which is really, really useful!
The Virus TI's plug-in application is referred to as Virus Control , and when you start the plug-in on your host, the Virus TI will switch into Sequencer mode and no longer work as a stand-alone synth. The Virus control surface itself effectively becomes a control surface for the Virus Control plug-in, and this control is achieved by internal communication between the TI and Virus Control , so there's no additional work required by the user.
And despite the internal nature of this communication, you can still automate Virus Control with your host's own automation system. Again, this requires no setting up: just enable automation in your host, adjust parameters on the control surface, and the host will record the movements as if you were adjusting on-screen controls directly. The beauty of this system is that you can control the plug-in at any time from the TI, regardless of which Track is selected in your host.
A further mode Access have created for the Virus TI is Remote mode, and this enables the Virus' front panel to control other software instruments and effects in addition to the TI — or rather it will. The first COVID symptom to develop is likely to be fever , which is a temporary increase in body temperature.
This differs from influenza, where the first symptom is typically a cough. All data and statistics are based on publicly available data at the time of publication.
Some information may be out of date. Visit our coronavirus hub and follow our live updates page for the most recent information on the COVID pandemic. COVID may then cause a cough, sore throat, and body aches or headaches. A study in The Lancet suggests that this typically occurs after 7 days from the onset of symptoms. Some people will experience acute respiratory distress syndrome after 9 days. This is where the lungs fail to provide the body with sufficient oxygen.
In these and other severe cases, doctors may admit people to an intensive care unit around 10 days after symptom onset. However, the type and order of symptoms will vary from person to person.
For example, some people will experience nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea before fever or coughing. Others will experience no symptoms at all.
