Mesmorum | Spectralis sequencing the Prophet 10, Minimoog, SH-101, Virus TI IDM Jungle

video upload by MIDERA

"After my adventure with the MKS-80, I wanted to write something with my Spectralis. This is that track.

Further... I think this is where I may conclude my time with the Sequentix Cirklon 2... A lovely thing, but - I don't think it's for me. The Spectralis is too 'home' for me.

Recorded April 25, 2026

Radikal Technologies Spectralis 2: Drums, sequencing, strings
Access Virus TI: arps
Prophet 10: Bass (comes in later)
Roland SH-101: Bass (first)
Moog Minimoog: (Bass, second)

DiscoDSP Releases Retromulator Based on The Usual Suspects dsp56300 Engine

via DiscoDSP

[Note: although DiscoDSP gives credit to The Usual Suspects, it's my understanding TUS is not happy about it. From a forum:

"He basically took our source, put his own wrapper on it and is trying to sell it and use it to promote his own business. Can't prevent it, but frankly this is reprehensible IMHO.

Yes. He knows he cannot legally "sell" it due to the licensing model our code is published under. Therefore he sells "support" of "his development efforts" to include difficult things like "git clone" and other Arcane and extremely difficult stuff. sigh... I'd strongly advise anyone using it not to actually pay him for it, but that is just my opinion.]

What isn't clear is whether the UI is just the player above or includes the full editors by The Usual Suspects. I'm hearing it's just the player, which in effect might be an upsell for the full editors by The Usual Suspects.

That said:

"Retromulator brings legendary hardware cores back to life through authentic low-level emulation. The virtual analog synths are powered by a faithful recreation of the Motorola DSP 56300 processor, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its original chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler plays your SF2, SFZ, and Bliss sample banks with studio-quality interpolation. Each core runs its actual firmware or sample data — delivering the unmistakable character of hardware that defined electronic music from the early 80s through the 2000s.

Unlike traditional software emulations that recreate synthesizer behavior by approximation, Retromulator emulates the original integrated circuits at the hardware level. The virtual analog synths run on a cycle-accurate Motorola DSP 56300, the Yamaha DX7 runs a full emulation of its Hitachi HD6303R sub-CPU and Yamaha YM21280/YM21290 EGS/OPS chip set, and the Akai S1000 sampler runs on the SFZero v3.0.0 engine with 8-point sinc interpolation supporting SF2, SFZ, ZBP, and ZBB sample banks. Each core executes its authentic firmware or sample data exactly as intended.

Load the ROM firmware from your own hardware or sample banks from your library, place them in the designated folder, and Retromulator takes care of the rest. The result is not an approximation — it is the real hardware running inside your DAW.

Retromulator is built on Gearmulator, an open-source synthesizer emulation project by the dsp56300 team. We are grateful for their extraordinary work in bringing these classic instruments back to life."

FREE SYNTH: OsTIrus (Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW Emulator) - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing OsTIrus, a FREE software emulation of the Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW by 'The Usual Suspects', which brings back to life these iconic synthesizers!

'The Usual Suspects' is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the DSP chip from original historic hardware synthesizers, which, in this case, is the Motorola DSP56300.

As is usual with The Usual Suspects releases, you’ll need to provide the original ROM, legally acquired, of course.

The architecture, signal flow, and character closely follow the original hardware, making this an absolutely faithful Access Virus TI/TI2/SNOW recreation in software form.

More info here:

In this demo I will just let you hear what some amazing sound designers have made for this stunning plugin simply by scrolling and playing some beautiful sounds.

Bad Gear - Snow

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about TI Snow.

It is quite obvious why this menu-heavy, scaled-down and abandonware-reliant 2008 member of the otherwise revered Access Virus range made it onto this show but it also raises an unsettling question: has the market for electronic musical instruments become so irrelevant that this primordial Volca with a Napoleonic Complex is the final word in the history of one of the most successful synth families? Can it be that synths are over?

Last Kings | Spectralis 2 and Virus TI

video upload by MIDERA

"Five months into my wife not finding a job (anyone know any open software engineer positions?). What a wild time out there. Seems like things just get worse and worse. Found out our AC is leaking coolant too. Can't wait to figure out the bill on that. Sooner than later will have to sell off a bunch of my gear. Guess it was fun while it lasted.

Access Virus TI Soundscape | Sit and Rest

video upload by MIDERA

"I wish I could say what's been going on in my life, to complain about some of the stuff that has happened. It's not good, but not something I want to share publicly (nothing health related or anything). Just... huge letdowns.

Anyway - I'm here, still trying. I want to come back to something and say: I think the Virus TI is still my favorite synth in my studio... Coming back from the Moog Muse and thinking 'Huh, I didn't know I could do this on the TI.' The only thing I really wish the TI had was Filter FM, that's kind of a bummer - but I guess since it has oscillator FM, that can be maybe a more exact approach to a similar sound? And I know the LFOs can't go fast enough to simulate Filter FM (I tried, but after a certain frequency, pitch won't affect the rate like it should, so it won't work).

But... the Virus is something. After all these years it still impresses me. It STILL gets me feeling joy. Something not a lot of synths offer.

Like, the fact that it has those 'analog' filters (which are supposed to model the Moog filters?), they sound damn good. And something you might not think about is OSC VOLUME Saturation Type which can affect how the filter resonance sounds? I mean, this stuff can really change the sound in the most interesting way.

Don't know why I have half the crap I have to be honest... I've thought about selling the Prophet VS, Jupiter 6, and a whole lot of other things. They don't really bring me joy. But the Virus... it still does, and I've had this thing since 2012."

FREE SYNTH: NODAL RED 2X - No talking demo

video upload by ADL-MusicLab

"Hello, everyone!

Here's to you my 'No talking demo' of the amazing NODAL RED 2X, a FREE software emulation of the Nord Lead/Rack 2X by "The Usual Suspects", which brings back to life this iconic synthesizer in all its red glory!

"The Usual Suspects" is a group of people who are currently Reverse Engineering and Emulating the Motorola DSP563xx series of DSP processors.

This DSP has been used in plenty of virtual analogue synthesizers and other musical gear that was released after around the mid 90s, such as Access Virus A, B, C, TI / Clavia Nord Lead 2X, 3, Modular / Waldorf Q, Microwave II / Novation Supernova, Nova and many others.

And now they released a must have from the 2000'...a Nord Lead/Rack 2X perfect emulation. This synthesizer uses two Motorola DSP56362 and the synthesis engine of NODAL RED 2X is identical to the Nord Lead 2x and it can also load Nord Lead 1 presets.
