The legendary Access Virus synthesizer is the pinnacle of Virtual Analog synthesizers, emulating analog at a precision unmatched by other VAs, and going further than any analog can with its 'Total Integration' series.

The Access Virus is used by artists such as Butch Vig, Hans Zimmer, Deadmau5, Deftones, Dr. Dre, Lou Reed, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Stevie Wonder, Tool, Depeche Mode, Dido, Gary Numan, Paul Oakenfold, Radiohead, and Pet Shop Boys, as well as many notable others.

Please post anything Virus-related, such as news, questions, tips and techniques, videos, interviews, etc.

"Still one of the best sounding synthesizers. Not best-sounding analog, digital, software, etc... just best sounding, period.

This track of mine is all Virus except for the drums."

Posted for posterity because this might be the best god-frakking-damn factory demo track a god-frakking-damn awesome piece of gear ever had. And it's hard to find the audio for it.

Soundcloud recording, from the DSP56000 emu using extracted OS2.8 ROM
