For sale: Access Virus TI Polar in excellent condition. This unit is nice and clean overall. Functionally, there are no issues. We've documented a few cosmetic issues below and in the photos.

The Virus TI is an iconic monster of a polyphonic, multitimbral analog modeling synth. With 64 waveforms, 72 wavetables, 2 filters, 3 LFOs, an advanced mod matrix, a full suite of effects and more, the sonic possibilities are virtually endless. The TI has up to 80 voices of polyphony and is 16 parts multitimbral, with 3 stereo outs, as well as audio streaming over USB via the Total Integration VST, which is an absolute thing of beauty in supported operating systems (the audio streams act like soft synths within your DAW, allowing you to EQ, send FX, or pile on plugins to create unique sounds during tracking). From our POV, this speeds production along and opens up more possibilities to create something truly unique.

Details:

Replaced the internal battery with a new Energizer Lithium 2032 (you shouldn't need to worry about the battery for at least 10-15 years).
Upgraded the operating system to the latest version (5.1.7).
Cleaned the unit thoroughly.
Keys are nice and white. No yellowing.
Everything has been tested. All functionality is confirmed good to go (except the SPIDF in/outs, as we don't have a way to test those at the moment).
The screen works flawlessly and has good contrast. These don't always photograph well, but in reality, the screen is in excellent condition.
There is a dent on the bottom front corner of the left side panel. See photo 19.
There is a very minor, almost unnoticeable dent in the front wood piece. See photo 20.
There are 2 imperfections in the finish on the back near the "Virus" lettering. See photo 21.
There may be another very minor imperfection or two. We've done our best to document condition in the photos.

Mac users, do your homework before you purchase. The Total Integration VST is not compatible with the latest versions of the Mac OS. The app works well in Windows 10. Users report it also works fine in Windows 11, but we have not personally verified this. We encourage users to do their research if they're not sure.

Sale includes the synth, original power cable, and a new high-quality 6 ft USB cable.

Synthesis Type: Virtual analog with subtractive synthesis, frequency modulation (FM), and phase distortion for a versatile sonic range.
Polyphony: Up to 80-voice polyphony (depending on patch complexity); 16-part multitimbrality for sequencing and live performance.
Oscillators: 3 per voice (2 main + 1 sub-oscillator):
- Waveforms: Sawtooth, variable pulse (with PWM), sine, triangle, 64 spectral waveforms.
- Oscillator sync and FM for dynamic, evolving sounds.
- Sub-oscillator: Square or triangle for enhanced low-end.
- Oscillator 3: Can act as an independent oscillator with waveform, level, and tuning control, sharing modulation capabilities.
Filters: 2 independent resonant filters per voice, up to 24dB/octave (4-pole):
- Modes: Lowpass, highpass, bandpass, bandstop; serial or parallel routing.
- Analog-modeled saturation for gritty textures.
- Filter envelope: Modulates filters, Oscillator 2 pitch, or FM amount for expressive sound design.
Effects: Up to 129 simultaneous DSP effects (shared across parts):
- Reverb: MIDI-syncable with improved algorithms.
- Delay: MIDI-syncable with feedback control and preset patterns.
- Chorus/Flanger: For lush, modulated depth.
- Phaser: 6-stage stereo for vintage and modern tones.
- Distortion: Multiple types (light, hard, digital, and many more) for aggressive sounds.
- Vocoder: 32-band, uses oscillators/noise as carrier.
- EQ: 3-band for precise tonal shaping.
- Analog Boost: Enhances warmth and bass for analog character.
Modulation:
- Modulation Matrix: 6 sources, 18 destinations (e.g., mod wheel to filter cutoff, resonance, FM).
- 3 LFOs per voice: 68 waveforms (triangle, saw, square, S&H, 64 digital).
- LFO 1/2: Modulate pitch, pulse width, filter parameters.
- LFO 3: Dedicated to oscillator pitch for vibrato or drift.
- 2 ADSTR Envelopes: Filter (modulates filters, pitch, FM) and amplifier (snappy to ambient).
- Velocity Control: Modulates oscillator shape, FM, filter envelope, amplitude.
Memory (OS 5.1.7): 512 RAM programs (4 banks, A-D, 128 patches each); 3328 ROM programs (26 banks, A-Z, 128 patches each); 128 multi patches; expandable via soundsets.
Arpeggiator: 16 independent arpeggiators (one per part) with 64 preset patterns, adjustable modes (Up, Down, Random, Chord), 1-4 octave range, swing, and hold function.
Total Integration (TI): USB-based DAW integration for audio/MIDI streaming, plugin control, and patch management via Virus Control software (VST/AU/RTAS compatible).
Control & Interface: 37-key semi-weighted keyboard with velocity and aftertouch; 32 knobs, 43 buttons, 73 LEDs; backlit LCD; smooth parameter transitions.
Connectivity:
- Audio Outputs: 6 balanced outputs (3 stereo pairs), soft limiting.
- Audio Inputs: 2 stereo for external processing or vocoder.
- MIDI: In, Out, Thru with full parameter control.
- USB 2.0: For Virus Control and MIDI/audio streaming.

- Converters: 24-bit D/A, 18-bit A/D.
Physical Design: White chassis with silver accents, wooden end cheeks, rack ears; 37-key semi-weighted keyboard; premium Polar design.
Additional Features:
- Unison Mode: Stacks voices for thick sounds (reduces polyphony).
- Twin Mode: 2 voices per note with detune/spread (up to 40-voice polyphony).
- OS 5.1.7: Improved Virus Control stability, enhanced MIDI timing, and additional soundsets.
- Sound Character: Warm analog emulation to sharp digital tones, ideal for electronic, trance, and film scoring (used by artists like Hans Zimmer, Sasha).
Limitations: Menu diving for some parameters; unison mode reduces polyphony; occasional Virus Control latency in OS 5.1.7; no TI2 features (e.g., Hypersaw, advanced wavetables).
