VIRUS TI OS 1.1 OVERVIEW
- Sort By Category in VIRUSControl
- Search By Name in VIRUSControl
- MIDI Remote Mode
VIRUS TI OS 1.1 DETAILS
Version 1.1 features an array of enhancements and new functionalities and will be available during February, 2006. Besides improved stability, there are two new browser functions ("Sort By Category" and "Search by Name") and the new Remote Mode to turn the Virus TI into a univeral midi control surface.
VIRUSControl can now automatically build banks based on sound categories. Every Virus TI patch is stored with one or two categories. This information can now be used to easily search for specific sounds regardless of the patch name.
"Search by Name" allows you to enter a string of text and search for patches by name (including partial match) among all onboard sounds and in sound banks stored on your computer's hard drive. It is lightning fast and can literally search ten thousand patches in a couple of milliseconds.
New remote mode turns the Virus TI into a fully programmable universal MIDI control surface with 32 knobs. Up to 32 preset scenes can be stored in the hardware, each storing up to 32 midi knob assignments and names. Remote Mode does not interfere with the sound engine and can operate as standalone hardware or in your sequencer with VirusControl. Access will provide a library of remote templates which can also be edited using VirusControl, and users can also create and share their own templates.
OS 1.1. will be available in February 2006.
OUTLOOK
Access is also happy to announce three exciting software developments, expected before April of 2006. First, together with MOTU, we expect to release a version of VirusControl that is fully supported in Digital Performer. Simultaneously, we are developing an RTAS version which will be fully compatible with Digidesign Protools. Finally, we will also release a Universal Binary version of all Virus TI software components to be compatible with the new Intel Macs.
