Marc Schlaile still works for Access Music but he stopped posting here in 2019: https://www.virus.info/forum/i…hp?user-post-list/6-marc/

Their Facebook and Twitter profiles are abandoned in virtually the same way. That is a very bad look for Access, sad to say. I wish it were different but it's obvious that the management decided to avoid their customers instead of being open and transparent. In that sense we can be grateful that they keep this forum up.

His last post is interesting... "we are waiting for the company who wrote the driver we use."

The company who wrote the driver actually released a CoreAudio version of the driver:

It looks like they were actually interested in updating the Virus back in 2019, but for some reason they couldn't update it.

Access/Kemper posted that they are looking for a DSP developer again. This company has become a bad joke at this point......

Most likely to update their Kemper profiling amps. There's a lot of better sounding digital amps on the market (like the AxeFX) and cheaper options so they probably need new devs to keep up with the competition. If they were looking to update the Access Virus software, they would let us know.

Wow! Great news. Did anyone here tested it?

Access really need to get off their asses and fix this. Especially in light of this new announcement from Steinberg: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/vst-2-discontinued/761383/2

Given the lack of communication from the company, it's becoming clear that things are not going well for Access Music/Kemper Amps. They most likely don't have the staff and budget to work on an update. I think their days are counted unfortunately.

Strange answer. They did update my forum name in May 2020:

"Thank you for your email. We changed the username now.

With best regards,

Access Music Support

"

Salut Maxime!

Veux-tu dire que tu veux une instru pour chanter dessus?

Hi,

Email support@access-music.de and they will update your username.

Great to see they've updated the site. I hope it means the Virus is not dead.

The video tutorials are also back on the site. The previous Flash videos couldn't be played on modern computers.

Thank you for your answers. I tried flash player alternatives. But it did not work for me.
I am going to check vimeo. Maybe I have luck finding some tutorial videos in

decent quality there.

Did you find a solution? If not let me know. I may be able to do something to help you.

Their website needs a major overhaul as it is functional, but obviously could use some TLC and refactoring/updating, which I'm sure they are aware of but just do not have the resources to dedicate to the task.

Not only their website, but their outdated plugin and software too! Given the lack of communication from Access, their whole company probably needs a major overhaul.

Hey all! I have an update! I'm currently running Mac OS Big Sur , with a windows 10 partition. And I just got my TI Snow through USB working on the windows side! No magic, or tricks. Just partitioned the drive, installed windows 10, installed FL Studio 20, and installed the 64-bit version of the virus software suite.

Sound works just fine, only set back is the plugin is REALLY small. I haven't been able to figure out how to resize it, but for now it'll do.

Thanks for sharing your experience, but this is nothing new. The plugin is still compatible with Windows 10, either on a Mac or on a PC. What we need is compatibility with macOS and M1 Mac computers. I need to use the plugin from Logic Pro on macOS.

And another Kemper update…….https://www.facebook.com/kemperamps/posts/5170714116278203?__cft__[0]=AZV2bdcfQY94gi88QpDKmAaeHg-LCXr37XLg4NnSpfOoZjVyz12SFuTArkF9yOHDmVwAODfrUay3p71A0fdzCtjmtfuJpgSquzfiAyO6oCooHira2ce6d_lFt_gmogFyqB9a66gNo8buMtJXadsFTUGWAA1n1lBptr4ajT5O1HGMCA&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Funny that half the comments on the Kemper update are about the Virus.

Why would they put all their development time on Kemper and ignore their Virus userbase? I just don’t get it. It’s been 2 years…

This is my go-to Virus editor for over a year now. Works perfectly.

Oh really! So what's the difference between this plugin and the original Virus TI plugin? No USB audio?

Quote from djantimatter

Heads up, I've gotten a report via the Facebook group I admin that the latest Windows updates break the drivers on PC making the Virus unfindable.

https://www.facebook.com/group…4163516337019600/?__cft__[0]=AZWIakD34iTX9Vzy22h4QjMh6_0zApSnaLeN2DpUAniYj1zXEXaV_yzD3-XUYAqWwONgPY1VRjufScUn1FO8iD7wPWeBYN6nm1v-q9QgKMbmxwdM2upHmLhEhWCipjZmLQZyfDnFAqBcwHgExsXNDx8-&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

That's interesting. Are there any other reports on that incompatibility issue with Windows?

Quote from djantimatter

They are, but they choose to ignore a significant portion of their user base.

Why would they do that? I just don't get it. If they don't plan to update it, they should just tell us so we can move on.

You're absolutely right. I understand that updating the plugin can be a complex task for them, but the lack of transparency is a very bad move from their part.

I was recently thinking of buy a Kemper amp but decided not to get one because of their bad attitude towards their customers. Who knows how long these products will be supported?

Hopefully another developper will eventually be able to build something that works.

That's a very sad situation for customers.

I wonder if Access employees are actually reading the forums. They are literally ignoring us, remaining silent about this whole issue, while still selling the synth like there is no problem.

I wouldn't say it's normal. In fact, new customers could probably file a class-action lawsuit agains Access about this and win.
