Digidesign ACCESS-VIRUS-INDIGO

Based on the Access Virus Indigo hardware synthesizer, the Virus plug-in transforms your ProTools system into a luscious 20-voice synthesizer with up to eight different sounds per DSP chip (a maximum of 160 voices total at 48 kHz, or 80 voices at 96 kHz on a single Pro Tools|HD Process card can be archieved). Not only does this Virtual Analog synthesizer offer incredible warmth and quality, it also goes far beyond known products with its perfect Pro Tools integration, extensive automation, and "total recall" capabilities.

MIDI and Audio connections are a breeze to set up, allowing you to start playing the Virus in seconds. It is also the first TDM Plug-in to offer several user interface pages for different sets of parameters, so every single control can receive a dedicated knob or switch.

The Indigo TDM features three main oscillators, two filters, three LFOs and two envelopes for every voice. It also provides built-in effects like chorus, phaser, ring modulators, multiple distortion, delay and reverbfor creating stunning pads, screaming leads, punchy bass sounds or whatever you might have in your mind.

But the creative options don't stop there: Use input mode to modify single tracks or entire mixes with powerful resonant filters. Enable the vocoder and add the robotic sound to your recording using other tracks or even your voice singing along with your tune. A built-in arpeggiator syncs to MIDI beat clock and follows your song tempo at any time.

Performance is top: our precision-crafted DSP algorithms ensure there is no audible latency, while parameter changes are silky smooth with no zipper noise or glitches!

The Access Virus Indigo TDM plug-in empowers musicians and producers to go beyond recording, editing and mixing with Pro Tools, and enables great-sounding synthesis power available completely within the Pro Tools application itself.

Specifications

• 4 oscillators per voice. Three main oscillators plusone sub oscillator [when using the third oscillator the virus b / kb needs upto 30% more power per voice. In full usage the virus' polyphony may thereforelose a maximum of 6 voices.]
• Sawtooth, variable pulse, sine, triangle waves + 62additional spectral waves FM [Frequency modulation] for the Oscillators withexternal Input signals
• 2 fully independent filters each user selectable aslowpass, highpass, bandpass or bandreject
