the sounds of the famous Access Indigo2/VirusC synthesizer,
and gives you a wide collection of vivid and powerful
virus sounds.
Features:
•
354 Kontakt patches (in 7 categories)
•
3.36 GB of 44kHz/24 bit stereo samples
• 12 midi controllable knobs for realtime tweaking and for midi automation of the most important synth parameters
•
extensive editing techniques: multiple velocity layers
with xfades, round-robin triggering, alternate sample
starts to achieve fat, lively and vivid synth sounds
• exclusive IR sample
collection for the convolution reverb of Kontakt

about viruses
The Virus synthesizers are legendary
in the world of electronic music. The first Access Virus
was released in 1997 and it quickly became a very popular
and favorite synth with its aggressive analog sounds.
The Virus uses physical-modeling to digitally
re-create analog sounds. It has an incredibly punchy and
clean analog sound that can give you anything from vivid
pads, textures to overdriven 303-style lead lines and
other great bass/lead sounds!
In 1999 Access released the Virus B, with many new features
and it was followed by Virus C in 2002.
The Virus C is a real beast! Three oscillators
(with basic analog waveform with PWM + 62 spectral waveforms),
one sub oscillator, two independent multi-mode filters
(including moog type!), two ADSTR envelopes, three LFOs,
16 arpeggiators, 32-band vocoder, five FM synthesis modes:
you'll find yourself in a vintage synth heaven.
Viruses have been used by (among others) Astral Projection,
BT, Überzone, the Crystal Method, Cosmosis, and Nine
Inch Nails.
