Het is officieel, vanaf vandaag zou os 2.0 te downloaden moeten zijn vanaf de access site. (hij staat er op dit moment nog niet, maar lang zal het niet meer duren).
Gezien het feit dat dit niet echt een simpele update is, en er echt MEGAVETTE features zijn toegevoegd aan het os leek me een nieuwe thread wel op zijn plaats waar we ervaringen met dit nieuwe os kunnen delen (en misschien wat soundsnippets).
Wat zijn nu de nieuwe features in het kort:
- nieuwe graintable oscillators
- nieuwe formant oscillators
- enhanded wavetable synthese
- 25 nieuwe wavetables
- section locking per patch (deze vind ik echt geweldig bedacht)
- zoeken op patch categorie
- patch complexiteit indicator
- nieuwe routing modulation mogelijkheden waaronder LFO steps
- nieuwe userinterface voor de virus ti editor (zilverkleurig)
- 256 nieuwe patches
Als je de release notes doorneemt van os 2.0 gaat het maar door pagina na pagina
. En zoals altijd bij Access is deze update (alhoewel je van een update niet meer kan spreken naar mijn mening, gezien de hoeveelheid extra mogelijkheden) voor alle virus ti bezitters gratis.

voor de volledigheid het volledige persbericht:
Version 2.0 for the Virus TI adds Graintable, Formant-based oscillators and enhanced Wavetable synthesis. The new operating system introduces Section Locking for the Virus Control plug-in, searchable patch categories, 25 additional Wavetables and 256 additional signature ROM sounds, an improved user interface, a patch complexity indicator as well as loads of other refinements.
Access Music, the company behind the multi award winning Virus TI synthesizer series is thrilled to announce the most comprehensive feature update in the company's history.

The Graintable oscillators applies techniques as those used in granular sampling and pitch-shifting algorithms to synthesizer Wavetables. It opens up a whole exciting world of new possibilities. Imagine bending any Wavetable far beyond what is sonically possible with common Wavetable synthesizers. It all happens in realtime and of course all parameters can be modulated in realtime as well.
The formant-based oscillators work in a similar fashion, only with one crucial difference: the formants remain fixed as you play. This effectively turns the oscillator into a filterbank on steroids comprising up to 256 resonant bandpass filter poles, whereby the cutoff of each virtual pole is determined by the harmonics in the current Wavetable index.
The existing Wavetable oscillators were also updated. OS2.0 allows PWM-style modulation and the degree of interpolation between the individual waves can be altered. As a result a Wavetable can morph from smooth to coarse to stepped (which makes it sound similar to a wave sequence). It's like turning a nice ambient patch into a dark, gritty sonic monster by only changing one continuously variable parameter.
Virus Control underwent major improvements. There is Section Locking, a new technology by Access Music GmbH, enabling the TI to lock specific aspects of a sound from changing. For instance locking everything but the arpeggiator. Now when browsing through the library the sound character will remain unchanged, but the arpeggiator pattern will alter depending on the settings of the selected new patch. Forget about random patch generators. This is so much more fun. It's practically like having a completely new and intuitive sound design tool to your disposal. All you need to do is to choose what you dislike about a patch and find something better within the huge TI library which counts thousands of onboard patches.
Speaking of patches, 2 banks of signature patches have been added to the TI's ROM. Brooklyn based breaks and electro wizard Matt Stolley spend most of 2006 working on "10 dirty years" - certainly the darkest collection of Virus sounds so far. On top, Matt Picone supplied an excellent performance bank which is also optimised for the TI.
The patch complexity indicator shows how much resources a certain sound requires.
OS2 is available as free download for all existing Virus TI user from http://www.virus.info - and it is available today.

De virus has infect me 
het loopt pas strak als ik mijn latency op 3 milisec laat lopen. maja dan hoor je weer tikjes en kraakjes en vallen er heel buffer overides... 
Zeer overtuigende sarcasme. Ik zou bijna denken dat je het meent.
