Future Retro 777

The Access
Virus Rack is an Analog Modeling synthesizer with 2
oscillators and one sub-oscillator. This unit has 16
voices that are dynamically allocated to the 16
multi-timbral parts. The Virus Rack has 512 presets
divided into 4 banks: A & B (User Editable) and C & D
(these reside in the Flash-Ram). Software version 2.2
adds an additional 512 presets by replacing the demo
song included in the original software version. There is
also a noise generator, ring modulator, two multi-mode
filters, two envelopes, a stereo VCA, and a saturation
stage for cascade filtering, tube, and distortion
effects. Other effects include chorus, flange, analog
bass boost, reverb, and midi-synced digital delay. The
Virus Rack also includes a 32 band vocoder. Two external
inputs allow processing of external devices through the
filters, gates and lo-fi effects. External audio sources
can also be used to modulate frequency and ring
modulation. This unit was first released in 2001, two
years after the release of the Virus B, by
Access Music of
Germany.
