Welcome to Planet V
There are not many modern synthesizers which can claim to have shaped the sound of music -- from electronica to soundtrack -- as much as the Virus line of synthesizers has. The Virus is known as much for its flexibility and powerful sound as for Total Integration, our award winning way to interconnect a hardware synthesizer with your DAW.
The first Virus was released in 1997 and each new iteration has added more features more powerful hardware, and greater musical potential. That evolution explains why the Virus TI series is so sought after and why it receives such praise from owners, press, and fans all over the world.
Artists including Depeche Mode, Madonna, Linkin Park and The Prodigy tour
with a Virus-based setup. Producers such as Sasha, Pete Tong, Roger Sanchez and
Dr. Dre consider the Virus a core part of their studios. Composers such as Hans
Zimmer, James Newton Howard, John Powell and Mark Isham are enthusiastic Virus
users, utilising its signature sound for their Hollywood blockbuster
soundtracks.

One Sound, Four Different Packages
The Virus TI line of synthesizers includes 4 different variations: two
keyboard models and two desktop versions. The great news is that all of these
instruments produce the same award-winning sound. In this way, we offer you a
choice of formats without compromising the most important aspect of any
instrument: how well it performs musically.
Virus TI Desktop
This synthesizer will make any desktop proud! The TI Desktop
features an all-metal enclosure with a wooden strip on the front. Loads of knobs
and buttons give direct access to the most important sound shaping parameters.
This range of instant access hands-on control will delight those who don't like
menu diving. Like all other Virus TI synthesizers, a stereo analogue input
offers the power to process external signals through the Virus' sound engine. An
optional 19" rack mounting kit is available for purchase.
Virus TI Snow
Its compact form
factor makes the TI Snow an ideal choice for traveling musicians. It's footprint
is not larger than an issue of Mix Magazine. Nevertheless it features the exact
same sound engine of it's bigger brothers with about 50% of the voice count -- a
top performer at every jam session. The patch select buttons make searching for
the right sound a breeze and allow you to access any of the 1024 internal
patches with four or fewer button clicks.
Virus TI Keyboard
61 semi-weighted keys with great action and jacks for connecting
pedals make the Virus TI Keyboard a performer's dream. The wooden side panels
offer a great "grip" and make transportation a more enjoyable task. With over
3300 onboard sounds you will never run out of ideas while jamming.
Virus TI Polar
Designed as the ideal companion to any DJ or project studio, this
37-key model is not only compact but also stunningly beautiful. The side panels
are a mix of wood and pure aluminium, while the white LEDs add class and style.
The sound engine is exactly that used in the powerful and versatile TI Desktop
and Keyboard models.
