- Compatibility with latest Windows and macOS.
- New multimode mixer view with more focused control sets.
- Easier access to global parameters than the previous version.
- Librarian update can now handle unlimited patch banks with deeper sub-folder management.
- Librarian update to handle requests and patches with better way.
- Faster data transmission to hardware unit.
- Complete framework rewrite from previous version.
- User Manual in PDF and online format.

As you can see from the images above, there is a flavor for everyone to use! Even if you have a Virus TI 2 Desktop, you can use the Virus A skin if that is your thing.
Currently our schedule says that this version might be ready within few weeks. We don’t want to promise too much, as schedules changes quite rapidly during these times.

Please yes – I am waiting for this before upgrading to Catalina IOS operating system – this is the last plugin to be upgraded for this that I have on my system! Looks good Antz
Thanks!
Same here. The final piece in the jigsaw before I can upgrade to Catalina. Seeing as Access can’t be bothered anymore, despite still selling new Virus’s.
Well, they sell the synth mainly, not the plug-in. Plug-in in their books is just additional tool. We are almost there with the update though!
That´s great. I waited so long for this update. Thank you Jani!
Yeah we’ve been wanting to do the update for a long time as well! Most complex code to re-write, thats why it was the last one to do unfortunately.
Thank you Jani for this update !
You are welcome!
This Guy Is The Greatest Access Take Notes!!!!!!!
Huh! Thanks a lot!
Awesome! Can’t wait for this one. It is really looking great, Jani!
Thank you!
Awesome! Waiting for this update is my current excuse for procrastinating and not making music ;) Thanks for all the hard work!
Thank you sir!
Looking forward to the update.. Thank you for your efforts.
Krzysztof
Yes we are looking forward as well! :)
This looks fantastic Jani! Not too keen with the font choice, but that’s just super nitpicking. Thanks for streamlining the use of these old synths, I barely know how to use my Virus C efficiently without this. :)
Thanks, well, the font is what it is you know.. Simple to use a regular font than try to fit in something special :)
Super! Can’t wait :) By the way any ETA estimates on when ?
Looking forward to bring it online in few weeks time. Just have to polish off things and ended up doing better functions than what I originally planned.
I’m chomping at the virtual bit, waiting for this! Especially hope that the librarian improvements will let me manage my presets in a better way.
Oh yes it will be a lot better! :)
Ah! Great news! I’m really looking forward to this one!
Beautiful update for a great editor, Thank you!
Thanks!
Hey,
Super excited about this update, when can we expect this? :)
Great! well, we will publish the update once it’s ready to go. There are still things to fix so it might take week or two. Plus its super hot in here so I can not work very efficiently right now :(
Thanks for clarifying!
Best of luck and can’t wait :)
Bought it just to get a Catalina version :)
Hopefully you will fix remaining issues soon!
Will this work over USB Midi connection?
Yeah sure, but you will need audio cables to get the audio to your DAW / mixing console. USB Audio streaming is not supported.
EDIT: USB is ok to transmit MIDI data back and forth from Virus, but thats it :)
Great, so I don’t need to buy a new separate MIDI interface then…..Is there any timing or performance difference between using the Virus TI USB MIDI as opposed to a MIDI interface with MIDI cables?
Hi, there should not be need for another MIDI interface with TI if the macOS can detect the TI Synth “interface” in the Audio/MIDI Setup screen.
Timing… Hard to tell, I always prefer to handle all data via MIDI dins so that I don’t have too many devices talking to the machine at the same time.
Moro Jani,
The new scalable UI is really jees.
Will there be a change in the way the modified sound can be written to memory / your own library. Now it doesn’t seem to work very well.
Yes we will simplify the user patch request to librarian by a mile! Now when you do edits in patch, you have to go to patch librarian -> bank edit menu -> request patch -> temp from hardware to librarian slot and then save the bank after request. This is a bit tedious way of doing it, but as I said, there is a relief coming to it!
Thank You Jani !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best
Hi, any ETA on this? Looking forward to trying the new version.
Thanks
Expecting to roll out the BETA this week for existing customers
Hi Jani, thats great. Which versions of OSX will it be compatible with?
Cheers
Version 2 Beta seems to be working well with OSX Mojave. No issues so far. Looks great too. Thanks
