Hi Johnny, Quick question; let say use my Timeline delay pedal + ( cutoff / resonance / vco ) knobs of one of my synth ; I will obtain the same result ?
Will be a little bit different, as the filter is in different spots in the “chain”. Your example, the filter would be first in the chain and with just zen delay filter would be last.
Tune in.
boots n cats n boots n cats n boots n cats......
i was goign to buy one when i sold all me studio anmd had a few quid my problem was everyone had some kind of issue and not really up to spending a grand on what may well turn out to be duff and its costing a small fortune in a repair and the kind of repairs that never stop either and in end it does get to the point of where ya spent more on repairs than what you paid for it and when it starts getting like that time to let go so whats why i never bought one and instead i bought a korg wavestate and do i regret the wavestate over the access no cause the wavestate does everything i wanted a synth to do and i wasnt sure the access did twhat i wanted or not and it was just an acid synth and why take a chance
Just sell it
I'd love to try one ..Just hate that TI is so expensive (over 2 grand now) -- Hard for me to justify when Iridium Core is $600 less for a new one, and if I spend that much on a synth, I'd love to have the largest sound pallet possible. I've never had any experience with any Virus other than the plugin that emulates the Virus A/B using original DSP code, so maybe I'd feel differently if I got some hands on time with a real one.
The train defs has left the station on TI pricing unfortunately, for a while lots of good deals were to be had on one. Hope you get to try one out one day it is a fantastic unit!
I see you have up there Waldorf Blofeld which has Motorola DSP: DSPB56371AF180 (181 MHz, 192 kB memory, 84 kB RAM) and the Virus Ti has two older Motorola DSPs: DSPB56367PV150 (150 MHz, 120 kB memory, 69 kB RAM).
Motorola defs had a hand in everything back in the day didnt know they had these chips in there
Cool video. Thanks... Honestly I've got some plugins that do part of the analog thing well enough... But it just doesn't quite capture that 3D thing from actually physically going through transistors and transformers and capacitors and stuff.... So I'm planning on picking up one of these both for some tracking and mostly for mixed bus... As well as some other duties like virtual instruments.... There's just something about analog It's subtle but it's really organic. Even without running any compression
Great piece to start with, dosent break the bank and sounds really good! Enjoy the analog journey!
I'm currently putting together a modest but thoroughly decent project studio. I'm primarily a guitar/bass/drums/engineer guy but can get around on keys and want to have some toys for ppl to get inspired, write, have fun. Currently I have a Korg OpSix (I love fm synthesis/80's sounds), Korg MS20 mini, Korg Microsynth and Arturia Drum machine (drum brute?) and want to expand. I'm looking at units like the Prophet 08, Novation Peak, Korg Wavestate and Polysix. Any opinions? Other options? I also want a bass syntj and would appreciate opinions. Sub37/25, phatty, novation basstation, Minitaur? Thx, hreat video. Subbed.
I suggest getting different brands instead of sticking to one brand, ive found when playing around on same brands they all sound similar, not the same but similar if that makes sense. For a bass synth if you want in a sense a holy grail of possibly greatest mono synth I would suggest a sequential Pro 3. Moog is Moog, but heard lots of horrible build quality issues on the sub37/25 and its kind of in the realm of doing that one thing whereas the pro 3 does that one thing and more. Lots of options out there for poly synths these days, really just depends what your looking to achieve which sounds like inspiring machines so I would look at things that are simple with lots of knobs to be able to craft on the fly fast like anything sequential, or hydrasynth, could even look at an access virus. Hope that helps I know for certain the pro 3 is next on my list after much research!
The Blofeld is an anti hero synth. It makes no apologies for how it operates. And has the power to back up the attitude.
So true lol!
I had one of these for a half a year or so. I liked it - unison mode was nice!
Liking your channel dude. I reckon I could get one for £150 uk as they're still producing them. Asking prices on Reverb and eBay aren't sold for prices. 😉 Anyways awesome channel.
Yea fair price! Just make sure the encoders are still good and you will be laughing. Thanks for watching!
@@johnnyposhI remember the Blofelds they sold well. As they're so many around I think I'd get one possibly for cheap though. I think Virus is more appealing though.
Seems very capable. I wonder if they're going to put out a new version.
Synth can do everything literally! I doubt he will make another one hes on to bigger and i guess better things hehe
@@johnnyposh I'd like to get one but I don't think I'd pay more than £500 lol.
Howdy. If I connect it to the uad apollo twin, can I record the voice through it? I saw that the compressor is stereo, and I record the voice in mono.. Or how could I record it in mono through it
Can use it as a mono compressor as well just plug in input/output 1
Thank you very much 😊❤
I still fcking love mine and I bought it in 2023.
I got an offer for 1100$, Is it worth to buy 08 for now a days or better pass it? I never use it before and there are not much reviews cause it old :(
Great unit! I'm thinking of buying one in the next few days... I've read a lot about this piece of gear and apparently the stereo image tightens up a bit because there is bleed from one channel to the other.
For the price point it is a good piece of gear, keep in mind you get what you pay for, but with a few mods can turn it into a solid piece of gear!
@@johnnyposh Good to know! What are those mods btw?
I went with jensen transformer mod and upgraded tubes.
Have you tried the dash berlin trance sounds with your virus... Dash berlin-going it alone Dash berlin-better half off me Dash berlin-When the world falls apart
I have not is that a preset pack somewhere?
Nice little thing you played at 18:23. Funny you follow it up with “not the greatest keys player” 😂
How do you record the octatrack screen for the video like that?
Seperate camera then just layered it over the main video cause the contrast is a pain to record on that screen.
its worth it, its a piece of fun, when someone knows how to use it, or give use to it !!
you talk so much, make it groove or zoom on pots to show us you manipulations. Thanks
Hello, how did you calibrate left/right channels when you switched the tubes?
if you want to synch your Virus TI, it's super easy. Create a MIDI track, with a note every on every beats. Send it to channel 16 of your TI and mute it. Et voila! Even in Ableton the Virus stay synched.
Does that keep the sequencer/arp from glitching out too?
I feel that you can stack a bunch of sound with the virus and you don’t get problems on the mix. It does sound incredible I also like the fx a lo because they create a lot of depth. It’s a masterpiece. The basses are not my favorite part but all the low mid, midrange sounds have a texture that I really love.
Well said ..i'm looking ,,T12 ,ya! Subbed!Cheers!;-)!
Hi! Can I connect synths the in the xlr inputs? Or its only for mic? Is needed a di box for connect them? Thank you mate
They are mic/line inputs so you can plug synths in no problem
.. Mooer Ocean Machine that's what I'm using (and I love it).
Thank you for this! I've been looking for a clear overview of the mk1 for forever! Glad I found yours...a second camera to expose the screen is so clutch!
still better than your DFAM right there ;)
I like the dfam alot!
Interesting review, thanks! I'm a Virus user since the first release in 1997. Unfortunately my A was stolen, but I'm still happy with my B for more than 22 years. The Virus is now obviously discontinued and only the desktop is available from the Kemper Store. A remarkable lifecycle for a digital device!
You could still buy the TI2 Keyboard version at Thomann until recently but looks like they've discontinued all of them now. May hike up the prices on the used market...
Unless you are used to the workflow, Virus is kind of irrelevant these days.
There is a Virus VST, exact the same sound, for free. The real Virus is a old problem synth, you not need. Novation have better gear and there are vst's. For a good workflow and inspiration, you just need hardware and a PC for Cubase or another simple daw. People who work without a PC are stuck in their habit.
@@antoniocalimero1173 Hardware only makes sense if it is 100% analog and high-end. We can argue that some hybrid synths, with modern DSPs and analog filters can produce a deeper sound than VSTs (if we still can support this premise these days).
@@gabriels538I understand people who don’t understand certain setups but this is extremely narrow minded. Firstly, only in the last 10-15 years VST are at a level that can compete with VA synths. The virus, Nord leads, Waldorf, EMU, sounded 100 times better than any VST. Secondly if you play in a Band, or like me perform your music live, without a laptop for well over 20 years there is nothing like outboard gear. The only people who would complain are those who play “live” with an already made DAW set and feel “attacked” by more skilled performers… is like saying why would you play a real saxophone when you can use libraries… Nothing in the market still like a Nord Modular. Use the tools that work for your way of playing, composing or performing. “The only external gear that makes sense is analog or high end” is a lie and a narrow minded view… have you seen the “Chemical Brothers” live setup?
@@MULTIMAN-MUSIC I'm talking as a computer engineer, in particularly from the optics of FPGAs, modern DSP chipsets and high-end converters ONLY found in high-end gear, can compete with modern VSTs in terms of quality. If you see the original recording from Chemical Brothers, you vomit. There is a lot of processing that needs to go on top for that garbage to sound good.
@@gabriels538 I don’t know what you are talking about. I own and play chemical brothers records all the time… sure sounds is rough compared to clean modern standards but your statement is extreme to say I would vomit. I addressed many points since you mentioned outboard gear only makes sense if it’s analog and or high end which again is BS. If you are happy with a fully digital setup, great, enjoy it and make music, but to put down other methods just cause you don’t understand them or have a need for it, like a real musician with a real instrument, is naive and disingenuous. How could you be referring to software engineering when you said about outboard gear, analog stuff or the Virus itself? Anyway I don’t plan to start an argument, I’m just saying people have been making music with loads of different approaches and use what fits you.
i have zero experience with hardware, so what would you do with this say create a pad that you like or a beat loop then export the loop to your PC and then build a track OR do you have to build the whole track in Virus ?
I want the full size ARP 2600 yes it is expensive but massive.
Those sounds remind me of a lot of Hans Zimmer soundtracks from the Batman and Interstellar films.
Nord Lead and Waldorf for brighter wave table stuff but Virus great for that darker sound
he said cream soda
Such a great synth, just use it in standalone and all your troubles disappear
Doesn’t this synth have a constant pitch drift on one of the oscillators? I had a TI2 briefly a few years ago and couldn’t stand it…otherwise it’s a great synth.
The thing is that there is a detune by default in the init patch, you can manually set it to 0 and it should be fine.
Getting my H9 Max in a couple of days. I’ll be processing two Behringer Neutrons with it. If I like the pedal enough I’ll buy a second one to run one into the other.
I love it.
the Blofeld is the poor man Virus and bargain version of the Waldorf M.
Regarding using the Virus in a DAW, I had so many issues as well even using a Windows PC or older Mac. It would constantly drop out and was painful even using Aura software or the ipad Virus software tools. So like yourself, I gave up on that and use stand alone and much happier now. I send output to a mixer recorder to capture on USB drive then import the stems to my DAW. It solves the software snafu that plague the synth and lets me enjoy using it to make music.
Your audio drops out at 26:47…
Forgot to add the Virus has the best arpgeggiator of any synth ever made with so many types and options can work like a sequencer too!
A good MIDI sequencer is the only thing really needed with the almighty Virus! Such a powerhouse of. synth. I use a Squarp Hapax with mine. The huge number of voices, effects and multi-timbral parts let you run drums, bass, melody and stabs easily. Few synths in 2023 can touch it. Wish Kemper would come out with a new Virus.
Yes new virus is a must!
Nice demo, but did you intend to keep oscillators 2 & 3 in LF mode?
Honestly cant remember did this months ago and was just noodling around
Art sounds great till your ear hears beyond it.
Thanks for the vid & info on this unit. Good explanations on each knob function.
