Description
Virus KC Keyboard Studio Kept A brand new and ever more powerful strain of the Virus was released in 2002 to replace the entire B Series line-up. First up is the flag-ship desktop module, the Virus C. Polyphony is expanded from 24 to 32 voices! Otherwise the synth engine is virtually the same as the B series. Three oscillators, one sub osc., two independent multi-mode filters, two ADSTR envelopes, three LFOs, 16 arpeggiators, 32-band vocoder, five FM synthesis modes and 16 part multitimbrality. The C series offers an expanded mod matrix with 6 source and 9 destination slots, 98 effects, wood side panels, and more! A new 3-band EQ section is available as well as an Undo/Redo function. The operating systems can be easily upgraded via MIDI and there is a free SoundDiver Virus editor/librarian for Windows and MacOS systems available. It has been used by Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM, and Max Graham. Virus KC The Virus KC, pictured above is the classy keyboard version of the Virus C. It features 61 semi-weighted keys responsive to velocity and aftertouch. It is the ultimate hands on Virus synth! There are also individual and assignable Pitch and Mod wheels. Nice wood panels and a layout that remains faithful to the module's intuitive design. Product Description Planet Ordinary is an unreachable destination on the Starship Access. That's why Access set all systems to Hyper-Deluxe while developing the Virus C Keyboard, or 'kc'. The kc combines all the new features and capabilities of the Virus C engine with a professional quality 5-octave semi-weighted, aftertouch capable keyboard. With its master-keyboard control functions, the Virus kc is the perfect centerpiece for stage or studio: a stellar giant to match your extraordinary performances. Features:
32-voice polyphony and 16-part multi-timbral capability 1024 programs [256 User / 768 ROM / 128 Multi] 32-voice polyphony with 16-part multi-timbral capability 1024 programs (256 User / 768 ROM / 128 Multi)Undo/Redo/Random features to defeat 'oops' and "writer's block" 4 oscillators per voice. 3 main plus one sub [when all oscillators are in use, polyphony may decrease, but not by more than 6 voices.] Sawtooth, variable pulse, sine, triangle + 62 additional spectral waves FM [Frequency modulation] with or without external Input signals 2 filters selectable as lowpass, highpass, bandpass or bandreject 4 filter configurations (serial/ parallel) for up to 6 poles [36 dB] 3 LFOs with 68 LFO shapes Loop or Envelope LFO modes with midi clock sync 2 ADSTR envelopes [T=Time] 16 independent arpeggiators with numerous arpeggiator patterns and real time parameter access/modulation including swing & note length. 98 simultaneous DSP effects:
Reverb [w. pre-delay sync to MIDI-clock]
3-Band EQ per program/part [low/hi shelf + parametric mid]
Retro Phaser [6-stage stereo phaser with 24 filter-poles
Multiple independent distortion/saturation/Lo-fi FX per voice, including multiple distortion/shaper characteristics and variable gain.
Chorus/Flanger with rate sync to midi tempo
Simple or "Groove" Delay [preset polyrhythmic patterns]
32-band advanced vocoder
Ring Modulator
Analog Boost for true vintage tonal characteristics2 Soft Knobs, individually assignable per programInternal master clock that drives all arpeggiators, LFOs and delay times; automatic sync to external midi clock Advanced Modulation Matrix with 6 source and 9 destination slots.
Complete control via MIDI (CC/Polypressure/Sysex) with "Adaptive Control
Smoothing" for ultra soft parameter changes and no zippering. MIDI Tempo sync capabilities for virtually every time-based parameter Full 24-bit processing; 24-bit D/A, 18-bit A/D 6 individual high quality outputs 2 audio inputs to process your signals through synth filters, envelopes, FX, vocoder, FM, ring modulator, and more Flexible "auxiliary" model of internal audio routing for processing/reprocessing internal/external signals through the synth engine and effects of other voices True Surround sound capabilities
Free Sound Diver Virus editor/librarian for Windows and MacOS Easy operating system updates via MIDIHigh-quality, semi-weighted, velocity and aftertouch capable, 61-keys Master-keyboard functions Internal Power Supply Pitch bend, modwheel and two jacks for switch/expression pedals Real Wood side panels 32 knobs 35 buttons 69 LEDs Dimensions: 975 x 351 x 112 mm Weight: 13kg, 16.5 kg w. packaging So cool. So many sounds, and each one is limitless with all the knobs right in front of you to tweak as you play.Feature: Amazing. the interface is easy. i learned it in 20 minutes at the music store. i sat down, and just got amazing sounds straight out of the presets and tweaked a little as i played. it practically GAVE me the ideas that i came up with as i played with it. amazing tools, easy interface. Quality: It looks like a well constructed piece of equipment. i've heard good things about access, and i would trust the piece of equipment. it's expensive, but the controls feel solid and not like they're gonna crap out. cosmetically it looks amazing, and if i had the cash, I don't think there's a analog modelling digital synth that can touch it. Value: If I had the money to spend, I'd either buy the KC or the sound module simply for the sounds alone.Manufacturer Support: I've heard good things. they're good about software updates, etc. The Wow Factor: Amazing sounds. wish they could be mine. Swami Digital Reviews: I would take the Virus C over the Snow any day, just for the controls. The Snow has been a pain to use the one time I tried it. And I dunno about the snow being way better the virus c is a ti without 3 wave forms, and a couple mod destinations and less voices, oh yeah ti also has 2 dsp chips while the c has 1 but imo they are both great and anyone at the right price would be a steal
