However, you do have to provide a legally acquired Virus Ti firmware file to make the most of it. If you can swing that, you’re in for one of the best softsynths in recent memory.

As ex user of access virus A,B,C and TI 1 this sounds exatly same as original - on emulation of virus b i load rom and load my backup patches from oldie backup all works fine. Works great if you use only 1 patch no try multi very nice virus ti and for free ;)). I bought 1 year back midimix midi controler with custom knobs to control this vst and all works well.

Sounds the same ? not sure , isn't the Ti has analog filter also ? Being able to load the same patches doesn't warranty the same sound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound same, virus ti havent analog filter, it was all time vst in box.Sound exatly same 1:1 i have from my oldie rec my patches and its 1:1 emulation. Its real virus os emulator- use same rom from ti , b, c . Image it is like rom from nintendo console its same. try Viper vst - it can load some patches but never sound same as your hw + on vir ti emulator all knobs do same hell as original hw , really same. big plus you no need super modern cpu i run it on i7 from 2013 4 thread on base freqency 2,4 ( now hope they do in future Nord Modular ) Edited April 25 by Kreveta Puket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha.. ... it worked in fact! 🙂 THX! 1. unzip the V. TI Suite .msi file 2. unzip the cab file 3. rename the f..._bin / _bin64 with .bin at the end 4. place the file in the same directory as for your OSTIRUS VST, start it 5. Working like a charm (TI2 ROM loaded) Edited April 25 by Zoukiman 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean rename them for (for example) firmware.bin and firmware64.bin ? Or rename to firmware_bin.bin and firmware_bin64.bin? Both are needed? Sorry to ask but I am very interested in this and cannot test it right now. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 My first thought after playing these is... why has no developer thought of doing this before ? TheUsualSuspects are flippin awesome 🤩😍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of my favorite synths and the Clavia software editor is still compatible with Win10. IMO the most difficult part would be replicating this patch editor. The Nord Modular front panel does not help much without a dedicated editor for patching. And to create it as a VST plugin would be even harder I think. The native modular synths of today have surpassed the Nord in terms of sound quality and versatility though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreveta Puket Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Its superb that we now all have free access virus Esp C and TI for free. Guys who made these motorola chip emus had ti version about year, but they release it after ofico end of sale virus ti. Hope they will do more and try Supernova too.
