    what is it about the virus synthesizer that fans of it like the most? the filters? the envelopes? algorithms? legit question.

    It sounds just right. In general.

    I think the big thing is the grain & formant complex oscillator types. I haven't seen anything similar to them in the software realm.

    The good programmed presets (where there are tons of) or your own sounds (if you know how to create them) will instantly fit in a track and sound finished, without the need to add all kinds of stuff that you would use on software plugins. Also the way the hypersaw and unison works, make it kind of unique, phasing behaviour and what not.
    Another thing might be the filter behaviour. The 4 pole analog moog style filter does sound like someting really different for example! One can't deny that. Its sound changes depending how much signal/volume you feed into it.
    This effect will add up if you modulate the filter with envelopes.
    The waveforms/wavetables/basic oscillators however do absolutely not matter - any softsynth can produce any waveform now!

    Most people don't really know that Virus synth was created by the same person that created the famous Kemper Profiler Guitar Amp (that named after himself). It's like Rupert Neve, Roger Linn and Dave Smith, people like their work. These guys made cool stuff and cool stuff are made to be loved. :rofl:

    Open Behringer Synthesizer Projects & News

    Behind the source link you can find our estimation in percentages, how far the development status could be advanced in the opinion of the editorial staff (alphabetical order). With less than 25%, the information about the projects is still to be rated as very speculative.

    Behringer Access Virus (Video 7.2019) - 5%.

    Source: www.amazona.de/status-behringer-synthesizer-news-tests-uebersicht-2022/

    Behringer Access Virus

    The first leak of this video is a red synthesizer in the familiar desktop format, similar to Model D, Neutron ... No, this is not a pre-release version of the Neutron as initially thought, but a kind of Access Virus clone. This impression is reinforced mainly by a very similar red interface of the Virus A & B series, the same screen in the middle and the many inputs and outputs on the back.

    Would this move surprise me? No, it would even be a logical one, as it would open up a second synthesizer division, this one of digital sound generators. In the past few months, Uli has increasingly been on the lookout in synthesizer Facebook groups for developers who are familiar with digital technology (FPGA ...) and are looking for a new challenge.

    One of the most notable of these, joined the Behringer team a few months ago: Italian developer Luigi Scarano of FingerSonic, who has built digital synths in the past, has been working for Behringer for a few months now. Not to forget the demand for a new Access Virus from the synthesizer communities and the long silence from Access on this topic. Uli is probably responding to this demand with this synthesizer. I may be completely wrong and it will be a new storable analog or hybrid desktop synthesizer. Many things are possible, but the virus signs are too strong for me in this case. We will see in the near future how strong the virus infestation is.

    Here is the published "PR video" from MusicTribe, where you can recognize the mentioned synthesizers:

    I think the "technological leap" Access undertook to make the TI was too far for a smaller manufacturer. If Behringer were to make one, I'd like to see them dial it back a bit and continue where the C left off; with normal USB Midi and Patch Editor (like their electribe thing). They could shoot the gap between the C and the TI and sell a whole lot of them inexpensively/cheaper like usual. but like the article suggests, I think "someone" would need to strike while the iron is hot.

    since the Virus is DSP based, how come the sound it makes is preferred by so many compared to other software synths? are the algorithms just beyond the capacity to analyze and reverse engineer?

    That's another proof of that:
    - synths are for boys/pussies
    - metal&rock guitars for true men
    :rofl:
    Nah, not really. You know that when you reach about the 4th beer is time to quit social media...? I'm loong overdue

    I don't think it takes a genius to fix an AU plugin, or to hire someone who can.

    there is always that part. still.

    For me the "presets" button is dead and when I press "load", i can select a soundbank in a window but nothing happens after that. Instead I use the patch browser or everything, which works perfectly. Anybody else has this issue?

    Great work overall (seriously, 16 unison voices ?!:crazy:)

    The "Load" button is buggy in v1.2.5. Try using .mid files or your DAWs preset system for dealing with patches. I'm on Discord and watching the development closely. :) I think next version will be a bullseye. :wink: v1.2.5 was all about code optimisation and slapping the Virus-like GUI on the emulator.

    I like that GUI a lot, too. From what I gathered from Discord channel, it will be an alternative GUI for the Virus. They're still too busy debugging the emulator and the GUI as it is, but once that's done anything will be possible. :wink:

    I just can't wait for the MicroQ or Q! :mad:

    I rarely see anyone mention how versatile it is. It can do almost anything and it does it all so well. Of course the Virus is used in every trance project but I'm using it for my industrial/alternative metal band. I'm mostly using it for Moog sounds and just harsh stuff in general and I love it. The Rectifier distortion effect is amazing on the right source material.

    Also don't forget you can use it as a VST effect. Running my guitar into this and using the Rectifier distortion sounds great, then ofc you have the reverb/delay, chorus, phaser etc.

    Or even just using the analog boost/punch effect on a guitar or synth can spice things up a bit too. So many possibilities with this
