Wheeeey, was looking for Neutron patches, had no idea you did tutorials!

❤❤❤

WOW!!!!

OsTIrus is sounding great for me (emulation), and Adam Szabo Viper can import Virus patches and does a really good job at recreating those patches.

Mkii has much better encoder. Much better

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 ?

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.

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).

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

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.

The Blofeld is an anti hero synth. It makes no apologies for how it operates. And has the power to back up the attitude.

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.

Seems very capable. I wonder if they're going to put out a new version.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

.. 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 ;)

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!

Unless you are used to the workflow, Virus is kind of irrelevant these days.

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.

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!
