Watch the Virus TI Emulator in action

The two videos below have been recorded with an early alpha version of the TI emulator.

Further optimizations on the DSP emulation side made it possible that these videos were recorded in realtime on a rather old i7 4790k CPU (~2014, 4 cores, 8 threads), CPU usage per thread can be seen in the first video. As expected, while the TI runs in Single Mode, only the first DSP is used, that is why the thread load for the first DSP is higher than for the second one.

The second video showcases the TI as FX unit by routing a song to the inputs.

  1. I just upgraded to the KORG Collection 4 today and stumbled upon this out of the blue, but I’m definitely donating to this project before the end of the year. This is an amazing undertaking. No way I will not donate!

  3. Awesome work guys! You should make these controllers also available as a standalone VST/AU plugin for Virus Synths due to crappy support from Access Music. Access Virus Control software does not work with new MACOSX-versions.

  4. Iā€˜m wondering if Kemper would be even supporting this project, given the fact that the TI plug-in for recent Mac OS versions is not supported anymore with no comment by them for years.

  5. Fantastic work! I’d also be interested in using your front-end GUI as an editor for real-world Virus Tis on Mac. Any potential for someone picking that work up I wonder? Not ever-so impressed with the other alternatives.

  6. Ok. What you guys are doing is mindblowing milion times. I remember starting making music and my dream was to own at least plugin version of Virus either C or TI. Nowdays with free DAW we have the best synth emulation that was released to this day – and it’s all your work.
    This is game changer like inventing midi – yes and I’m 1000% shure about my words.
    Music history will never be the same – some of those talented but poor people just got uber weapon in their arsenal and combining with eager to pursue and learn sky isn’t a limit anymore. It’s way up highier.

  9. Damn I love this thing, Tried it out in earlier releases and couldn’t get it to work however this current one is stable on my system and is SO DOPE! I have all the Virus emu plugins and this wipes the ever living floor with them sonically other than maybe Dune although I would still use this over that one for half of everything bass and neuro reece-wise. Just curious is there a way to load another ROM once the plugin loads and has already loaded a Rom or is this fixed and you need to keep a duplicate renamed with the alternate rom in it? Also wondering how close the TI version is? Please keep up that god-mode work you are doing here.

  10. Amazing, AMAZING work!

    I have a Virus KB and will weep one day when it dies of old age. I wonder… can every original knob and button plus the display be brought out to real controls? As in, if one were to build or configure an external physical panel with all the same knobs and buttons, and a little LCD display in the same layout, and a 61-key MIDI controller board, could one fully rebuild a hardware Virus Synth?

    If Access is no longer making them… it would be wonderful if we could build our own (yes, yes, copyright concerns and one needs the ROMs, etc. — for hobby and preservation only, no sales!)
