Why We Love This Product!

One Virus You'll be Happy to Catch!

So, you like your synths now, do you? Well, you're gonna love this one! Think of Access's Virus TI2 Desktop synth as a ship among boats, a gem among stones, a giant among... regular-sized people. While the original Virus TI was already breathtaking, the TI2 Desktop takes it several notches higher. You get a cooler effects section (complete with tape delay, frequency shifter, and distortion effects), 25% more calculating power, and even lighter weight. The Virus T12 Desktop even includes an awesome plug-in that puts this synth to work inside your DAW!

Want awesome? You get all kinds of awesome, with the TI2 Desktop. It's got three main oscillators and one sub-oscillator per voice. It gives you two independent filters plus a 2-dimensional modulation matrix (say it fast). Want more innard info? Each of the Virus TI2 Desktop's patches contains its own arpeggiator pattern. What does all this mean for you? Crazy-cool sounds and the kind of depth that tweakers live for!

You want effects, correct? Correct. Access built a whole bunch into the TI2 Desktop synth. You get phaser, ring mod/shifter, chorus/flanger, and global vocoder effects plus tape delay, frequency shifter, and distortions. Shape sounds further, via analog boost Vintage 1/2/3, pad opener, lead enhancer, bass enhancer, and stereo widener character effects. Phew!

This synth is lightweight enough to easily take to the stage, and it's also right at home in your studio setup. In fact, the "TI" in the "TI2 Desktop" name stands for "Total Integration." That extends to your DAW! The included Virus Control 3.0 plug-in puts this bad boy's performance right into your favorite recording application. Amazing stuff!

Cheryl... Around here, none of us wear power ties, and power lunches are few and far between. But when the Power Rangers are unavailable, and PowerBall just isn't bringing the money home like you hoped it would, it's great to remember that the powerful GearNuts.com store is here for all your power adapter needs!
