What's the best Access Virus synth value? . . . 'The Snow'..... in depth review w/sounds 

Great presentation for great stuff ! Thank you , Will!

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks!🙏 The life cycle of the Virus range is amazing. When I got my first one in 1997 I would never have expected this.

Great product and playing! Merry Xmas...

such a powerful piece of gear - in such capable hands. A really valuable video full of insights (& a lot of mind blowing sounds)

Many thanks and respect for sharing this tutorial.

Thank you Will, excellent knowledge share, clearly communicated as always. 🙂

Hey Will I love your reviews. The Snow is amazing. The Polar always looked good to me. Ahhh man it all makes me miss my TI keyboard. Beautiful second half too with the Snow’s delightful sound.

I don't think I've ever said this, but bless the youtube algorithm for delivering me to your channel. Will, thank you for the awesome video. I can't wait to see what else is around the corner! 😄

I appreciate all the time you take to explain the topic of your videos. I love analog gear, but the nostalgia for analog overshadows discussions on what hardware we actually need.

Great to see. The recommended editor is a real gem. Works well with my Virus KB & Darkstar 👍. Currently I'm somehow addicted by the Waldorf Iridium Keyboard. But most the sounds I like for the Iridium can be created (with some time&effort) for the KB and/or for the Darkstar too. And to be honest, sound creation is fun 😉.

Thanks for the vid. Hmm..thinking about getting that white on blue display as well. Can't live without my TI Polar. 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for your great videos! Just a small note, the other models have three pairs of outputs (also usable as 6 individual outs), not two.

Cool. Presumably you can also map the knobs and faders of your MIDI keyboard to control the other parameters as well... So you could actually end up almost having a Virus TI Polar for like half the price!

Hi Will..thx for introducing me to the snow..it's indeed some 1000,- cheaper than the Virus desktop and as you show is capable of the same sounds..only less. But..always but..I got myself a new desktop a while ago for the full price and I'm still exploring the thing..apart from that I also bought an Iridium keyboard..a Summit and a Behringer Deepmind witch is around the same price as the Snow. So I'm quite busy with the presets alone..so far the Iridium and the Summit tops my list. Then ofcourse the Virus and the Deepmind for which I bought Arturia Beatstep pro to play them all together.. Anyway..thx for the vid and keep up the good work..and have a fine day.

I love my Virus TI2 Polar keyboard such an amazing box! Looking for a desktop one at good price. I dream of a collaboration between Chris Kemper and Elektron to develop the next Virus synthesizer with an awesome Elektron sequencer and user interface! That would be a dream come true especially if it also have CV controls to interact with modular gear.

love the WTF ? patch at 18:00 😂

The virus HC plugin works flawlessly in Windows 10 and on my Mac with my TI2 desktop. In many ways it's even superior to what access music put out in the stock VST that no longer works on the Mac. The virus HC plug in from Aura allows MIDI mapping of literally almost every parameter the virus TI2 has. On each of the 16 midi channels individually. That feature, used with an external MIDI controller (I use the push 2 and a few novation launchpads) transforms the virus into an amazing live performance instrument. Especially for ambient. Being able to have every single parameter on 16 different MIDI channels available at your fingertips through MIDI is really great.

Hi! Forgive me for asking this but I only got the TI Virus Snow for 3 days. So far loving it but I can’t seem to find in the machine where to set the global master tempo. It’s not in the Config menu. In the Common Menu I can set the tempo of the individual patch. I’m looking for the global one so I don’t have to change and set every time I switch arp patches. Tap tempo doesn’t help either. Appreciate your help…thank you!

Great demo as always mate, how would you say that a Virus C compares to the Snow?

I love your videos! I have both the Ti2 Desktop and the Snow. I'm putting together a rig for live performances and I like the Snow's smaller footprint. One question. Do you think it is reasonable to expect the Snow to be able to play all four channels simultaneously? I'm curious because I ran into issues with the Ti2 desktop after sequencing about six channels at the same time.

ngl I though when I bought Virus Snow I was gonna miss the luxury of having all of those knobs for tweaking sound design, but it turns out to be I wasnt really that much missing, the way you access those parameters was pretty much straight forward, so after all it was good enough for budget artist out there to have a virus

Hey Hey, Hoping you can help me on pullling the trigger - love the Virus sound and particulary want to make use of the Trance arps for ambient and synthwave music, but wanted to know how easy it was to program the ARP vs the desktop version? Also, how much tweakability do you feel you've lost when performing live ie. parameter changing during recording. I have a Rev 2 desktop and its great for bread and butter sounds, but despite all the buttons I don't tweak much when recording or performing - so just want to make sure i don't regret getting a Snow

Great video! How did you connect the Novation and Virus through USB or midi?

check out the roland sh-4d, reminds me a lot of the snow

Super Rad Dad!

hi can you do a deep video of the access virus snow ? :)

I cherish mine! It’s hard to find and still pricey!

if you use editor (and pc) the best and simpliest (and cheapest) is to use vst emulator of virus.

I have the Snow, and never gonna sell it.

I was looking at the specs for Spectrasonics Omnisphere and it said it can be programmed into the virus ti, a, b, c. I was wondering if anyone had done this and if it can be accepted on the ti2?

Snows are sadly still 1.5k here in leaf land :(

Sounds a bit Blofeld like, #notabadthing
