For sale: Access Virus TI Rack (Desktop) digital synthesizer in perfect working order and very good cosmetic condition. This is a great chance to get into a restored Virus TI at a lower price point because of the cosmetics.
Note: this unit is currently in desktop configuration. We are happy to switch to rack configuration at the buyer's request.
Details below:
All tact switches have been replaced with high-quality, brand-name tact switches rated for 1 million clicks.
The battery has been replaced with an Energizer CR2032 lithium cell. You should not need to replace the battery for ~10 years (see photo 20).
The LCD bezel has been polished to look its best (see photo 17).
We have cleaned the unit thoroughly inside and out. Even the knobs have been cleaned. No white or greasy buildup like you commonly see on Viruses from this era.
This unit has a number of small scratches and blemishes in the finish (see photos 21-25), and a small bend/warp in the lower-right corner of the rack ear (see photo 6). While this is a clean unit overall, it does show more signs of wear than most of the TIs we list. Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition.
The Virus TI is an iconic monster of a polyphonic, multitimbral synthesizer. With 64 waveforms, 72 wavetables, two filters, three LFOs, an advanced modulation matrix, a full suite of effects, and more, the sonic possibilities are virtually endless. The TI offers up to 80 voices of polyphony and is 16-part multitimbral, with three stereo outputs as well as audio streaming over USB via the Total Integration VST (VST, AU, AAX), which is an absolute thing of beauty on supported operating systems.
Mac users: please do your homework before purchasing. The Total Integration app is not compatible with the latest versions of macOS. The app works well on Windows 10. Users also report it works fine on Windows 11, though there may be some workarounds required with the new driver signing requirements. We encourage buyers to research compatibility if they plan to use the Total Integration app. There are many new exciting apps coming online, including Virux, but these are still in development and may not be fully compatible with your setup. Feel free to reach out to us with questions.
Sale includes the synth with rack ears, new high-quality 12V 3.0A power supply, high-quality shielded 1.5M (4.92 ft) USB cable, and free shipping to the continental US.

- Synthesis Type: Access Virus TI dual-DSP synthesizer engine with virtual analog, wavetable, HyperSaw, FM, ring modulation, grain table, and formant table synthesis
- Polyphony: Dynamically allocated across the dual DSPs, with the available voice count 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
- 3-band EQ per part for shaping individual sounds inside a multitimbral arrangement
- 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
- Controls:
- Hands-on front panel with dedicated sections for oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects, arpeggiator, and performance controls
- Rack/desktop format delivers the full Virus TI sound engine without taking up keyboard space
- Display, knobs, buttons, and status LEDs provide direct hardware control for editing, performance, and studio work
- Connectivity:
- MIDI In, Out, and Thru via 5-pin DIN
- USB for Total Integration, MIDI, editor/librarian workflow, and compatible audio-over-USB operation
- 6 analog outputs arranged as 3 stereo pairs
- 2 analog audio inputs for external signal processing
- S/PDIF digital I/O, headphone output, and standard studio connectivity
- Use Cases:
- Trance, techno, industrial, ambient, synthwave, electro, IDM, pop, scoring, and experimental sound design
- Supersaw leads, huge pads, tight basses, metallic digital textures, plucks, arps, vocoder parts, external audio processing, and full multitimbral arrangements
