Access is excited to announce the new Virus Total Integration (TI) line of synthesizers, leading the world in a completely new direction with musical instrument and pro-audio convergence.

"Virus TI - best purchase"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This is a synth that I expect to own for the next 10 years. It's capable of producing a myriad of sounds, is suitable for any genre, and has impeccable support. Bought this synth last year at $1660 and now it's worth more.
Sound
This is an underrated versatile instrument. It can produce everything from great standard elec piano sounds to FM to creamy synths to weird textures to more arpeggios than you care to use. The continued development of this line has seen even extras thrown in.
Features
stickers, power cords for euro and US, manual, standard stuff.
Ease of Use
plugged it in to usb in computer, installed virus control, opened up cubase, inserted virus like a vst. Now I'm using the virus like a vst but with 16 instances.
Quality
well made, this will never be sold, I'll be using this 10 years from now.
Value
I've spent more on drum kits, guitars, other synths, and this is the best value out all my purchases.
Manufacturer Support
never had to call, frequently visit website for product add ons (patches) and downloads of new OS
The Wow Factor
this is the virus, it's the ferrari of synths. not many musical instruments hold value like the virus.
