Access Virus Indigo With Gib Bag Case & Cables

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This Virus Indigo is in very good condition and working well. All controls have great feel and respond accurately. All lights and screen fully functional. All ports and jacks in great shape and connect without issue. Sound is strong and clear from all inputs and stereo outputs.

Two things of note:

1. The low F key (fourth from left) is sluggish. It wasn’t working at all, but we removed the keybed and cleaned the contacts until it worked perfectly. However, after reassembly, it still works but requires a harder press and can be a little inconsistent. All other keys works great.

2. The headphone output produces strong, clear sound but there is also a continuous white noise. This noise is much quieter than the actual musical sound produced by the synth, but is definitely noticeable. All other outputs sound great, no noise we could detect.

Sale includes the synth with a rare official Virus carry case, power cord, printed 3.0 software update manual, and a set of HOSA 10’ dual TRS cables."

KORG Introduces Limited Edition KRONOS Titanium

via KORG

Limited-edition model in a new stunningly eyecatching color combination

The “KRONOS Titanium” is a new special edition variant of Korg KRONOS, featuring a titanium color front panel with a brushed metal finish. For the first time on a KRONOS, it uses natural maple material for its side panels with a light finish that accentuates the wood grain, and also features an additional Italian-made grand piano well-known for its clarity, setting it apart from German-made and Japanese-made pianos. These are the leading quality piano sounds that you expect from the KRONOS, together with a new look unmistakably different even at a distance. The KRONOS Titanium is available in two models: 61-key or 88-key.

* Specifications other than the color of the chassis and side panels, and the Italian piano, are the same as the conventional KRONOS.

Akai Introduces MPC Jupiter Rising Synth Expansion by INHALT

Published on Mar 16, 2020 INHALTVIDEO

"I'm very pleased to announce the release of Jupiter Rising, the first INHALT Sample Library exclusively for the Akai MPC and Force range. This library is available directly through Akai Professional:

https://mpcsoftware.akaipro.com/#cbp=...

When I first got the MPC X I was taken aback by the sheer sound quality of the new audio engine. The filters, in particular, sounded warm and very analog like. After putting the machine through several productions, I quickly realized that the X is essentially a modern day Fairlight. It soon became my go to production center piece and my older MPCs (3000 and the ASQ10 sequencer) were quickly sold. Yes, it's that good. After some more time of working with the machine passed, I wanted to develop a comprehensive set of synthesizer oriented patches that could be quickly recalled for fast production access but with no compromise in sound quality. One of the most useful synths in a production context, to my ears and experience, is the Jupiter 8. While not a particularly showy synth, its tone and range of sounds makes it possible to slot into any production. As such, I thought this would be a great candidate for a deep sampling.

This library is the culmination of many months of work doing exactly that. Some patches are multi-sampled classic JP8 patches, and while those sound absolutely exceptional, the real stars are the short cycle samples. I employed the power of the MPC Engine to play back a different short-cycle sample per key press, per zone, randomly. This creates the feeling of playing the real JP8 as every key press is slightly different than the previous. When combined with the vast set of filters, an incredibly convincing analog-like sound is the end result. There are many patches of various combinations of samples included to cover every possible oscillator combination like on the real synth (i.e. 1 vco saw, 2 vco saw+saw, 2 vco saw+square ...) which leads to the most convincing sample based emulation of the classic synth. These raw patches serve as a starting point for your own sound design, however there are also many characteristic INHALT patches that are ready to go for your own music making.

In short, once the library was done, I was absolutely floored by how accurate and convincing this sample library really is at getting the mood, vibe, feel, and exact sound of the JP8. I think you will find the same. I had a really fantastic time working with all at Akai Professional on this and out of the many projects I've taken on, I'm probably the most pleased with how the end result came out on this one. All of the sounds (including drums) that you hear are 100 percent the Jupiter Rising Library recorded directly from the MPC X stereo output."

"Introducing Jupiter Rising, the latest expansion instrument offering from Akai Professional. Jupiter Rising re-creates the legendary sounds of one of the world's most iconic synthesizer. The highly sought after sonic palette is now available for your MPC X, MPC Live, MPC One and Force."
