access virus a/b/c editor

[dlb]

would love a au editor for Access Virus.

no way man… i am not touching this machine from hell, but crayolon said he will be doing a Ctrlr for the Virus, talk to him.

I started this tonight, but I’ve got a BIG job ahead of me; the routing matrix alone is a massive task and Juce lacks the interface components that would make it as efficient as it is on the hardware panel. I’ll keep working on it, but I do have a TI Snow as well as a Virus B, so my motivation isn’t exactly through the roof ” title=”Razz” /> However, if I can do a good editor for my B, perhaps I’ll sell the Snow…

Update – got a working editor with about 200 params. No stuff for editing Multis, but you can edit every element of a Single, right down to mod matrix assignments and so on. Also mapped a bunch of system params (even LCD contrast ” title=”Wink” />).

The hardest bit will be arranging the GUI nicely/efficiently, and I’m sure there’s a fair bit of bugtesting yet to do, but I think we’re still closer to having a FREE Virus B editor than anyone’s ever come before ” title=”Smile” />

When I’ve tidied it up, I’ll send the source to atom so he can upload an alpha for people to test.

Awesome news. Can’t wait. I don’t really use multi’s anyway. Thank you.

hi

will there be virus ti editor? ti editor still has latency & audio quality issue, which is the most important aspect of any musical instrument.

i’m just curious… why is a virus a "machine from hell"?

thanks

i don’t think i can implement anything in the terms of TI other then midi, and the latency issue is inside the AUDIO implementation of the TI.
A midi editor is possible but i don’t think it will be better then the original one.

why is it from hell ? it’s one of those overrated overpriced pieces of analog-wannabe hardware that has no character of it’s own but is good for emulating almost any other synth.

it doesn’t have to be better than the original. just midi editor with minimal gui (cooler i think) will actually be better, since it will solve the basic problems i mentioned.

the thing is… if ti is used with ti editor, there will be always midi latency and some sort of audio degradation, regardless of settings, even if it was directly outputted from ti bypassing any audio routing via usb.

easy to see the difference if compared the same ti in standalone mode.

even after many years of a thousand cries, it’s still there.

i am considering sending hearing aids to those folks at access, as my last try. ” title=”Wink” />

anyway, virus definitely sounds better than any softsynth, but it is still a lot weaker than any analog synth. seriously, my mks has more energy than virus. but there is something that makes me holding on to this machine. it maybe that less than powerful digital sound, which i use to compliment other analogs. maybe those knobs? vast mod possibility? not sure… (but definitely not that crippled "total integration")

so… yes, you are right! a machine from hell alright. no good but still attractive. a devil’s machine~

thanks and keep up your love for this wonderful project!!!

I’d love an AU or standalone editor for my virus C.
thanks!!

Did you try the OSX Virus B editor? It should work fine. I’ve tried to implement the four or five extra features that the C has over the B, but I don’t have a C to test on. No reason why they shouldn’t work, though.

atom – perhaps, when you get a moment, you could do some renaming in that project so it’s either ‘Access Virus ABC’ (or something similarly slashes-free) or just ‘Access Virus’? I think people see Virus B and assume it won’t work for A or C, despite the fact that there’s not a huge amount of difference between them. Of course it’s part of Access’ marketing strategy to keep selling what is basically the same synth but with added DSP chips for extra polyphony over and over for a decade ” title=”Razz” />

Sure thing i’ll just leave Virus.
