Members Mook Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Radiospace>You have two buttons for the osc editing, select and edit. Select chooses which one of the 3 osc you want to edit, the press edit to edit that osc. Menu is only one layer - three parameters are shown in the LCD at a time and you then scroll left or right to show another three parameters. Five knobs are always available for osc - wave shape, wave select, semitone tune, detune and FM amount in addition to the three under the LCD that drive the memu system. Quick and easy.

Members Mook Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Speaking of which, there's supposed to be a 'complexity' indicator, showing how much a patch takes up, but I don't see it. They say it's on the 'playmode' page, but I don't have a page like that. Nothing on the other pages as well.

Members pighood Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 I bought it. Gleeeeeeeeee!! But now the waiting for delivery commences. It's worth a night or two in the puppy house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mook Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 There's simple and complex versions of the grain and formant wavetables. Both grain and formant 'complex' have similar parameters - formant shift, formant spread, detune and interpolation.When you pick the simple versions, formant spread and interpolation disappear. Yeah I've been playing with the formant shift, spread, detune and interpolation to work out how I can get them to work in a musical context. I have to say that even I'm beginning to think that this synth is in need of at least another EG (and LFO) now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poumtschak Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Please post some audio examples of the new oscs! From another forum:http://www.phelios.de/stuff/virus_os20.mp3http://www.phelios.de/virus_os20_arp.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members drxcm Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Lets say you choose a complex graintable osc, the vintage filter (or whatever its called) dial up a few effects etc.. what sort of polyphony are you getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mook Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Not too impressed by the new sound banks - seems to be alot of dnb type noises in there. Just wish you could overwrite those ROM patches like you could on the B & C (or am I overlooking something here!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmacintyre Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 Speaking of which, there's supposed to be a 'complexity' indicator, showing how much a patch takes up, but I don't see it. They say it's on the 'playmode' page, but I don't have a page like that. Nothing on the other pages as well. It's the LCD display on the hardware. Look on it and there is a thing like a power meter you get on digital cameras on the top right of the screen. The more "power" on the meter, the more "expensive" the patch is in terms of dsp. D.

Members mildbill Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 OK - I see it on the hardware. In the OS2 addendum, they made it sound like it was in Virus Control. About the mod thing. From what I've heard so far, any filtering at all just masks what's going on with the wavetable, so that'll leave the filter envelope open for me. I'm thinking in different terms with wavetables than I do with traditional subtractive. That still leaves a whole lot of mod sources. Mook - with 3 lfo's (with 64 shapes each) and 2 wavetables to mod, maybe you could look at using the lfo's instead of wanting more envelopes (although you can never have too many envelopes). I'm having absolutely no trouble getting fine sounds with the resources available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like an LFO's speed being controlled by another LFO, so I'm one down to start with! But don't get me wrong, I like working within a given set of parameters - I'd never get any music done if I had a G2 or Reaktor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 24, 2007 Members Share Posted January 24, 2007 ya - there's always workarounds. like control lfo speed from aftertouch, mod wheel, pedal, etc. at least with the TI there are workarounds. some synths don't give you much choice.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted January 25, 2007 Members Share Posted January 25, 2007 Spread out some newspaper; I'm so excited I'm 'bout to tinkle. I'm glad I sprung for the 2-day FedEx. C'mon, Friday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted January 26, 2007 Members Share Posted January 26, 2007 So when I get home tonight, there may or may not be a Virus TI waiting on my doorstep. I'm thinking probably not, but I can't help but get my hopes up. I ordered it kinda early Wednesday and sprung for 2-day freight, so, hey! Maybe! GLEEEE!!
