Access Virus C Emulator

[Caterina Haggins]

Asex user of access virus A,B,C and TI 1 this sounds exatly same as original - on emulation of virus b i load rom and load my backup patches from oldie backup all works fine. Works great if you use only 1 patch no try multi very nice virus ti and for free ;)). I bought 1 year back midimix midi controler with custom knobs to control this vst and all works well.

Sound same, virus ti havent analog filter, it was all time vst in box.Sound exatly same 1:1 i have from my oldie rec my patches and its 1:1 emulation. Its real virus os emulator- use same rom from ti , b, c .

There are two files there: firmware_bin and firmware_bin64.

Do you mean rename them for (for example) firmware.bin and firmware64.bin ?

Or rename to firmware_bin.bin and firmware_bin64.bin?

Both are needed?

Sorry to ask but I am very interested in this and cannot test it right now.

Thanks in advance.

IMO the most difficult part would be replicating this patch editor. The Nord Modular front panel does not help much without a dedicated editor for patching. And to create it as a VST plugin would be even harder I think.

The native modular synths of today have surpassed the Nord in terms of sound quality and versatility though.

Im' pretty sure i 've read one filter is analog moogish modeled , can't recall the model .... anyway looks interesting , Sample rate and resolution could play also imho , watching as i type an A/B where o hear diffirences , but i will not say it sounds less good ....

Its superb that we now all have free access virus Esp C and TI for free. Guys who made these motorola chip emus had ti version about year, but they release it after ofico end of sale virus ti. Hope they will do more and try Supernova too. Waldorf q is decent but need more love.... :))

Thx Heh i have it ? ( must instal it again ) had k station desktop rack in past and nova desktop but no big rack supernova and now its coming time( hope will be in near future ) to try ;))) it as vst

The Access Virus is a music synthesizer that was first sold around 1997. It was one of the first "virtual analog" synths, which means that it uses computer code that simulates the behavior of analog circuits, rather than using computer code to play back samples. This approach brought more liveliness to its sounds compared with other synths of the time, and this appealed to a lot of different kinds of musicians. The Virus was a staple of many studios in the late 90s and through the 2010s, with people like Hans Zimmer, The Prodigy, Tool, Jean Michelle Jarre, Nine Inch Nails, Sasha, and Tycho being a handful of the notable musicians who have used it in their music.

I first heard about the Virus from a friend of a friend a few years after I started making music. I was working at Yahoo at the time, and my dear friend Mona (who also worked there) introduced me to her friend Aaron. He also worked at Yahoo and was an accomplished musician and had interviewed Autechre, which was like +100 charisma points in my world. We got to talking about music making, and he had all kinds of nice things to say about the Virus. So I looked it up and yep, it looked awesome, so I bought one for about $1200 from my local Guitar Center.

It fit well in my little setup, and allowed me to do things that I had never been able to do before. It was beautifully German-made, with a heavy gauge metal front panel, wooden end-panels, and a bunch of buttery smooth knobs and very nicely clicking buttons. It came with a slim and well-written manual, and so I was off and running with it.

One great thing about the Virus and the people that made it is that they would regularly add capabilities to it via firmware updates. This is like upgrading the OS on a computer and getting something new like video conferencing.

By this point, my music-making was tapering off. I was getting married, and there wasn't room in my life for music any more (bad decision, Zack). The Virus started collecting dust, so I decided to sell it. I ended up selling it to a young guy for $500. We met at the BART station in Fremont, and I said goodbye to my little red buddy.

That time came in 2016 when a coworker mentioned he had a newer Virus. WUT. That was too cool. He offered to bring it into the office so I could mess around with it. Sure enough, after I powered it up and navigated to preset bank H, there were my sounds. It was the Virus TI without a keyboard, so I couldn't really play my sounds, but there they were. Pretty cool to hear some of them again, even if it was just a middle-C note that the virus would play if you held two of its buttons down simultaneously. That was a fun afternoon.

Fast forward to January 2022. Through some random internet surfing, I came across a project whose intent was to have a Virus inside of the computer. The project I found was, at its heart, an emulation of the Motorola DSP chip that powers the Virus line of synthesizers. On my current music computer, this requires only about 3% of the computer's CPU to emulate one whole Virus. The project creators built an on-screen UI to provide access to the Virus' functions, but due to licensing reasons, do not provide the operating system code that turns the DSP chip into a Virus. That is easy enough to find on the internet, though.

The project runs flawlessly on my computer inside of Ableton Live. I can have several Virus instances running at the same time, and bonus: all of my sounds are there! It's like a time capsule for me. Being able to play those sounds takes me right back to the moments when I made them. Pure joy!

The Virus is still sold, but it's not being developed any more. Christoph Kemper shifted his focus around 2010 to making and releasing a revolutionary tool for guitarists. It's a box that can "learn" the nuances of a particular amp/cabinet/mic combo, and simulate it on its own. The Kemper Profiler has become its own big success in the guitar world.

So, if anyone from the Access team is reading this, thanks so much for the effort and love you put into those machines and to your community. It is a really special tool that has touched a lot of people in significant ways, and influenced music and other music-making machines.

It redirected me to this website: -config?utm_source=android-studio#antivirus-impact. I excluded Android Studio in my McAfee real-time scanning but after I run my emulator again it's very slow compared to before I had the warning.

In my case, for some reason, Avast Antivirus recognizes the tools/emulator-arm.exe as a threat and puts it in the virus chest!This started happening since I've updated the SDK manager and everything to latest (tools 23.0.5)

Avast Antivirus is sensing emulator-arm.exe as a thread and blocking from some reasons. When you add it exclusions in Virus Chest page with right-click -> "restore and add to exclusions" it's not solved in future runnings. To solve this permanently in Avast 2015 :

in my case,there was missing arm eabi v7a system image for api level 22. After downloading it started to work. so make sure that Your arm eabi v7a system image is installed for the particular API Level

There can be the bugs / updates happened in the OS. So, instead of updating in .profile, /etc/environment, or .bashrc file to point adb, emulator etc, put (copy and paste) all the emulator folder inside /usr/bin directory. Install adb tool from the terminal. This should solve everything.

If I am running a Windows 7 virtual machine on a Windows 7 host usingVMWare or VirtualBox (or anything else) and the virtual machine is completelyoverloaded with viruses and other malicious software, should I worry about my host machine?

What every answer has missed so far is that there are more attack vectors than just network connections and file sharing, but with all the other parts of a virtual machine - especially in regards to virtualizing hardware. A good example of this is shown below (ref. 2) where a guest OS can break out of the VMware container using the emulated virtual COM port.

Another attack vector, commonly included and sometimes enabled by default, on almost all modern processors, is x86 virtualization. While you can argue that having networking enabled on a VM is the biggest security risk (and indeed, it is a risk that must be considered), this only stops viruses from being transmitted how they are transmitted on every other computer - over a network. This is what your anti-virus and firewall software is used for. That being said...

There have been outbreaks of viruses which can actually "break out" of virtual machines, which has been documented in the past (see references 1 and 2 below for details/examples). While an arguable solution is to disable x86 virtualization (and take the performance hit running the virtual machine), any modern (decent) anti-virus software should be able to protect you from these viruses within limited reason. Even DEP will provide protection to a certain extent, but nothing more then when the virus would be executed on your actual OS (and not in a VM). Again, noting the references below, there are many other ways malware can break out of a virtual machine aside from network adapters or instruction virtualization/translation (e.g. virtual COM ports, or other emulated hardware drivers).
