For sale: Access Virus TI Rack (Desktop) digital synthesizer in excellent condition (perhaps even near-mint, this one is very nice). This is among the cleanest TI rack/desktops you'll find available for sale in 2026. As usual, we have given it a full inspection and upgraded a few things along the way.
Note: This unit ships with the rack ears and is configured for rack use with the I/O coming out the bottom of the unit when racked. We are happy to switch to desktop config at the buyer's request.
Ships with aftermarket power supply and your choice of a new high-quality, heavily shielded 1M (3.28 ft, photographed) or 1.5M (4.92 ft) USB cable optimized for audio streaming over USB. We recommend using the shortest cable possible for your setup if you intend to use the Total Integration plugin. Happy to swap in a standard 6-ft USB cable if you do not intend to use the TI plugin.
Details below:
All 43 tact switches have been replaced with high-quality, brand-name tact switches rated for 3 million clicks. They are soft-touch and very close in feel and sound to the original tact switches. See photos 23-25. All original pots are in perfect working order and function as intended. These have that classic tight Virus feel to them. We suspect this unit was used mostly via the TI app. The LCD display is nice and bright, with both backlights functioning as intended. The LCD bezel has been polished and looks nearly new. The rack ears are in great shape and are nearly blemish-free. Ships with a high-quality aftermarket power supply. The battery has been replaced with an Energizer CR2032 lithium cell. You should not need to replace the battery for ~10 years. Updated to the latest OS (5.1.7). We have cleaned the unit thoroughly inside and out. Even the knobs have been cleaned and look nearly new. No white or greasy buildup like you commonly see on Viruses from this era. The overall look of this synth is exceptionally clean, but it is not perfect. There is an odd blemish on the right side of the LCD bezel that is difficult to see, but we wanted to fully disclose it (see photo 26). Looks like something went wrong at the factory and an extra nanometer of plastic dripped down the right side. So minor, we would not care if it were ours. There are a handful of very minor imperfections in the finish (see photos 27-30). Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition. Note, close-ups are provided for full disclosure. The wider photos provide a far more representative view of how the synth looks in person. In real terms, this is one of the nicest TIs we've seen.
With all the restoration and maintenance work done, this TI rack (desktop) is well prepared for its next life.

Synthesis Type: Access Virus TI dual-DSP synthesizer engine with virtual analog, wavetable, HyperSaw, FM, ring modulation, grain table, and formant table synthesis
Polyphony: Up to 80 voices, depending on patch complexity, oscillator mode, unison, filter selection, modulation, and effects load
Multitimbrality: 16 independent parts in Multi Mode for layered sounds, splits, and multichannel sequencing from a single hardware synth
Oscillators: 3 main oscillators per voice plus sub oscillator and noise generator
Classic virtual analog waveforms including saw, pulse, sine, triangle, and variable wave shapes
HyperSaw oscillator for stacked supersaw leads, wide pads, aggressive trance textures, and dense modern electronic sounds
Wavetable oscillator with a large onboard table set for evolving digital tones, metallic motion, glassy pads, and complex harmonic movement
Grain table and formant table oscillator modes for more experimental digital textures, vocal-like tones, and animated spectral movement
Oscillator sync, ring modulation, FM, pulse width modulation, detune, spread, and sub oscillator support
Filters: Dual multimode filters per voice with flexible routing
Low pass, high pass, band pass, and band stop modes
Selectable 12 dB and 24 dB slopes
Serial, parallel, and split routing options for more complex patch architecture
Analog Filter mode modeled after a classic MiniMoog-style cascade filter with variable slope and self-oscillation
Filter saturation and drive options for extra weight, edge, and analog-style movement
Effects and Processing: Deep 16-part effects architecture designed for real multitimbral production
Independent effects processing across all 16 Multi Mode parts, allowing complete arrangements without flattening everything through one shared effects path
Delay and reverb available per part, not just as a single global send
Chorus, flanger, phaser, ring modulator, frequency shifter, rotary speaker, distortion, character processing, and additional tone-shaping effects depending on installed OS version
Multiple distortion and drive models for subtle saturation, aggressive digital edge, acid-style bite, and heavier industrial textures

32-band vocoder for vocals, robotic textures, synthetic choir effects, and external audio processing
Modulation: Deep modulation system for animated, performance-ready sound design
3 LFOs per voice with multiple waveforms, tempo sync, and extensive destination routing
Dedicated filter and amplifier envelopes
Flexible modulation matrix for routing LFOs, envelopes, velocity, aftertouch, MIDI controllers, and performance controls to multiple destinations
Excellent for evolving pads, synced sweeps, rhythmic gating, aggressive bass movement, and expressive live performance patches
Arpeggiator: Programmable arpeggiator per part with tempo sync, pattern control, gate, swing, and performance-friendly rhythmic options
Total Integration: USB connection supports Access Total Integration for plug-in style DAW control, patch editing, automation, MIDI, and compatible audio-over-USB workflow when used with a supported computer, operating system, DAW, and Access software version
Memory: Large onboard library with user banks, ROM banks, multi programs, and access to additional Virus sound libraries through computer-based management tools
