The Usual Suspects has released OsTIrus, a plugin that supports emulation of the Access Virus TI line of synthesizers.
OsTIrus runs inside your DAW and can be controlled like any normal softsynth. OsTIrus supports loading multiple instances, multitimbrality, enhanced voice allocation, and can be used as an FX plugin for other tracks in your DAW.
OsTIrus is capable of producing bit-accurate output of the original by emulating the digital processors at the heart of the Virus TI.
We have not seen an official announcement on this yet, but some retailer now have listings for the new Elektron Digitakt II, a new version of the company’s drum machine and sampler.
Digitakt II is a digital drum computer and stereo sampler offering many times the power – and sonic possibilities – of its predecessor. It may be a familiar shape, and the same recognizable playfulness, but there is so much more power under the hood.
The Digitakt II boasts expanded capabilities, including 16 audio tracks, an ‘updated modular workflow’, expanded memory and more.
Features:
Digital drum computer & stereo sampler
16 audio tracks – for stereo or mono samples, or MIDI
Swappable filters: 1 Base-width filter and then 1 from Multi-mode, Low pass 4, Comb, EQ, or Legacy LP/HP
3 assignable LFOs per track
Delay, reverb, chorus, bit reduction, sample reduction, and overdrive per track
