Access Virus TI VS Access Virus B (DSP56300 Emulator)

video upload by Eyezer Productionz Sound Design

"For a long time, there has been a debate about the sound being different throughout the Access Virus series. Some say that the pre-TI versions sounds different or 'better' than the TI. Of course this makes sense to some extent because the TI has more features, while the older models have fewer features (although the Virus B/C have 16 voices of global unison, which the TI hasn't). So what I decided to do was to play mostly Virus B patches on both the B and TI, to hear if they sound different or not.

What I noticed during this test was some of the patches sounds identical on both models, while some patches sound notably different (I picked the ones that sound notably different for this video). I don't know exactly why that is. What I do know is that the reverb sounds brighter in the Virus B, but I don't know how much else is potentially different. Supposedly, the sound engine is the same throughout the Virus series, which probably is true but I suppose perhaps Access have done some slight changes whenever a new model was released. For example, the first patch in the video, AutoBend BC, sounds the same on the Virus C and the TI, but different on the Virus B.

Next time, I will start from scratch and do some of my own patch programming.

Soviet RITM-2 Synth and Loop Pedal

video upload by Slightly Nasty

"Noticed there weren't many videos of the Soviet/Russian RITM-2 monosynth on Youtube, so here's a little improv that I originally recorded for Insta.

This one I've modded with a suboctave circuit using Soviet-era germanium transistors, which definitely extends the versatility of what is otherwise a fairly limited single-oscillator Moog clone with... 'interesting' build quality.

Reverb is a custom LV2 plugin I've been playing around with with for a little while."
