Hi every one
I just wanted to get every ones opinion about this.
I my self have a TC Powercore Express PSI card MK2 with the Access Virus Multi powercore and it works great...I also have a Virus Ti 2 desktop that works great also...........( and i know allot of people had problems with both)
but dont they both run the on the same DSP Motorola chip set..?
If TC is leaving the the DSP card range is access going to develop a better Virus TI range also..?
I cant speak for Access's Future development about future products but as PC's and Mac's are getting more powerfull would that mean access might bring out a VIrus TI with a more powerfull chip set..? Like a INTEL or AMD
This is from SoundonSound web site "
Under the bonnet, Virus synths are powered by Motorola's 56k family of DSP chips, which is commonly used in pro audio products, including, for example, Digidesign's Pro Tools TDM. This architectural similarity is what allowed Access and Digidesign to announce a software Virus plug-in for Pro Tools 24 Mix systems as long ago as 2000.
After this, Access released a version of the Virus for TC's Powercore DSP engine platform in 2002. This made sense, because Powercore is also based around Motorola 56k DSP chips.
Unlike the Pro Tools version, Virus Powercore was (and still is) sold in two versions: a 'base' licence, allowing you to run just one instance of the Virus plug-in on one DSP chip, offering 16 voices, and an 'unlimited' licence that allows you to run multiple instances of the plug-in on as many chips as you have available in your Powercore system."
Dont get me wrong i know Access is a great company and i am so happy with my Virus TI2 and i know Access wont be letting go of the TI line soon but i do worry.
