Access | Virus Classic

Description

Introducing the Virus Classic, a red synth advances the Virus A to the full specs of the Virus b, packed with power, polyphony, fx, output and of course, knobs!

The heart of the reborn Virus is a Virus b Desktop and it comes with a couple of additions. The mahogany side panels can be exchanged for the included 19" rack mounts and the user manual is redesigned and bilingual.

The screaming red color scheme was adopted from the Virus A. In addition the factory presets have been revamped. This is basically a Virus B with Virus A colour.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
