The Virus Vuvuzela competition was launched during the 2010 world cup. Musicians around the globe were ask to compose a song using either a Vuvuzela sample generated with a Virus TI or a sound patch for the Virus TI. The winner will receive a Virus TI Snow.
Jim Jonsin, the Grammy Award winning producer of Beyonce, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Shakira and many others sat down with us and told us some interesting insides on how his Virus TI centric minimal setup works.
The Signature Electro Patch set by San Francisco based Electro Rock producer & performer, VTG. Here's what he has to say: "I really wanted a nasty sound bank for my Virus, something that made the woofers shake, something that had LOTS of great modulation and LFO usage... So I set forth to create a dirty, Electro (somewhat Industrial) patch set for the Virus... I did a lot of work w/ the Matrix and the LFOs so be sure to play excessively with the soft knobs on the virus when you use these patches! There’s dubstep-esque basses, nasty little arps, raunchy electro leads and ghostly ambient pads included in the bank". VTG has remixed XLover, the Deftones and many others. He is also a member of Electro House band, Dancefloor Executives.
The new signature set by the Atlanta based Glitchcore/IDM artist Richard Devine takes your Virus TI to extreme and new territories. Richard’s passion for noise, dirt and distortion can easily be recognised though all his sounds. Many sounds alter drastically with changing the MIDI note pitch although the actual pitch remains nearly the same. Also many sounds evolve over time and can be greatly modified with the preassigned soft knobs.
The new patch set can be downloaded free of charge in the download area.
