The Virus TI Polar is a "roadster" version of the ground breaking Virus TI Desktop. It has virtually the same sound engine as the TI Desktop, but adds 37 keys to make it a compact yet powerful performance synthesizer. It also has a striking design (no doubt a descendant of the Virus Indigo), with a white-out front panel and a mix of aluminum and wood siding. The LEDs are white as well as the LCD display panel. Simply put, the Polar puts all the power of the Virus TI into a keyboard meant to be taken on the road.
Under the hood, there are three oscillators with one sub oscillator per voice which give it the ability to create throbbing and full basses as well as soft and beautiful pads and screaming leads. Within each of the main oscillators, there is a wide collection of waveforms including the classic Virus virtual analog oscillator models (saw, variable pulse, sine, triangle, and 62 spectral waves with several FM modes), the awesome HyperSaw model (a multi sawtooth oscillator with up to 9 stacked oscillators, along with 9 sub oscillators and a sync oscillator), a Wavetable oscillator model (with 100 multi-index wavetables), a Graintable oscillator model (for granular synthesis that can warp waveforms into new twisted forms), and Formant waveforms.
There are two multi-mode filters (HP, LP, BP, BS) as well as a saturation module for adding distortion or lo-fi effects. There is also an Analog Filter modeled after the Moog cascade filter with 6 to 24 dB/oct slope options and is capable of self-oscillation and can be overdriven.
The Virus TI Polar includes a wide array of modulation capabilities including a two dimensional modulation matrix with 6 sources and 3 destinations each (18 routings total). With this you can modulate almost anything in the Virus in real time. There are also three LFOs that can also be used as ramp generators and two very fast ADSTR envelope generators.
A complete effects section is also on hand, with 129 parallel effects. There is independent delay and reverb for each patch, multiple distortion/lo-fi algorithms, phaser, chorus/flanger, character control, ring modulator/shifter, 3-band EQ, and a global vocoder. There is also the popular Virus Atomizer, a unique audio slicer which can turn your Virus into a powerful realtime FX unit perfect for DJ applications.
The Virus TI Polar's "Total Integration" comes from its sophisticated OS and USB port which connect it straight into the following certified hosts: Apple Logic, Steinberg Cubase, Ableton Live, Avid Pro Tools, Cakewalk Sonar and ImageLine FL Studio. The VIRUSControl plug-in automatically detects and connects the Polar to your host program, where it will appear as a VST/AU soft-synth. The Polar can even be turned into a dedicated remote MIDI controller, mapping each of its 33 knobs to a MIDI CC messages.
