VIRAL Synth 2: T2x | AUv3

Starting with a 4 star review. Likely will go to 5 stars after I dink around with more and put through the paces. I was really bummed when Kemper just up and left the Access Virus TI to rot when macOS dropped 32 bit support. I feel like after years of great support, the sudden quiet and frozen in time website was a real gut punch. Never buy the Kemper amps! They clearly don't care about being real and showing respect to loyal customers. A simple acknowledgment would have gone a long way. Sadly, this amazing app isn't an emulator. Would have been nice to import some of my old TI sounds in, but I get it. And I don't hold that against the developer at all. But this app does seem to capture the vibe of my favorite synth. Looking forward to playing around with it more!

The authors mention they were inspired by Access Music’s Virus TI2 synthesizer — which was selling unchanged from 2009 until early 2024 and therefore the longest selling synthesizer of all times. Now legendary after the production stopped, it’s save to say the Virus was and still is a fundamental instrument for electronic dance music production. Inspiration isn’t emulation. So, you are not exactly getting a Virus TI into your iPhone. But you are getting a soft synth running on your iPhone or iPad that has not only hundreds of presets to come along but also offers you Virus-like to tweak and create amazing new sounds. Check out some of the ARPed sounds and you will feel the power of the VIRAL Synth T2x synth. Virus TI lovers will be very happy and amazed about the sounds and music they can create with what the brillant brains of the AudioKit developer team have released to the public. All this from a device of the size of the palm of your hand. Hook it up to a MIDI keyboard controller and start composing from anywhere you are. If you don’t know which software synths to get to run on iOS and if you have to install or want to make selections, don’t hesitate to get this one. You will regret if you don’t.

So much fun for so little money. I would call myself a vst junky. So I would love to have these instruments available as a AU or VST 3 to use in my DAWS. I am a professional so I know that you can connect all of the instruments through IOS. However, when you’re creating a project, It would be easy to set them as you can do with other VST Synthesizers. Note, however, this steel of a deal could be raised to be above $10 dollars. That said, I have written reviews for all of your instruments, All, fun, unbelievable in quality, quantity of presets, creative to the max. A no brainer to buy!
