Key Features:
Virus TI Snow
Portable, table-top synthesizer based on the Virus TI
series of synthesizers. An ideal companion for live musicians and for those who
want to take a powerful but compact synth to a jam session.
With 3 programmable hardware knobs per patch and
additional ones for filter and envelope control, performers can control the core
of the sound without having to dive into an edit menu. In fact, over 1000 sounds
can be accessed with a maximum of 4 button pushes. The TI Snow is 100%
compatible with all patches for the TI series and plays back a maximum of 50
voices with 4 multi-timbral parts (64 multi performances, 512 RAM and 512 ROM
patches). The oscillator models include virtual analog, hypersaw, wavetable and
graintable types. The filter section features a Moog cascade filter emulation
with 1-4 poles and self-oscillation among others. The FX section includes
simultaneous reverb, delay, eq, distortion, lo-fi effects, bass boost, phaser
and chorus/flanger - even in multi mode.
Sounds can also be edited and stored using Virus Control,
Access’ VST/AU/RTAS compatible plug-in. 16 patch select buttons can be used for
fast access to edit menus and navigation. “Easy edit mode” allows for fast and
dramatic changes providing a selection of context-sensitive parameters which
adapt by analysis of the underlying sound patch. Nevertheless, pretty much all
parameters can be edited on the hardware when switched into “expert edit
mode.”
USB can be used for Total Integration, which offers
another three stereo outputs into the Virus Control plug-in and sample-accurate
MIDI timing. The audio inputs can be utilised to mangle any type of sound using
the filters and effects. The sturdy metal enclosure of Virus TI Snow houses a
pair of stereo inputs and outputs (output level @ +4dB), MIDI in- and outputs.
The Snow comes in a messenger bag which offers enough space for the power supply
and additional cables.
