Access Virus TI VS Access Virus B (DSP56300 Emulator)

For a long time, there has been a debate about the sound being different throughout the Access Virus series. Some say that the pre-TI versions sound different or ’better’ than the TI. Of course this makes sense to some extent because the TI has more features, while the older models have fewer features (although the Virus B/C have 16 voices of global unison, which the TI hasn’t). So what I decided to do was to play mostly Virus B patches on both the B and TI, to hear if they sound different or not. What I noticed during this test was some of the patches sounds identical on both models, while some patches sound notably different (I picked the ones that sound notably different for this video). I don’t know exactly why that is. What I do know is that the reverb sounds brighter in the Virus B, but I don’t know how much else is potentially different. Supposedly, the sound engine is the same throughout the Virus series, which probably is true but I suppose perhaps Access have done some slight changes whenever a new model was released. For example, the first patch in the video, AutoBend BC, sounds the same on the Virus C and the TI, but different on the Virus B. 0:00 Introduction 0:18 AutoBend BC 0:32 Devlish SV 1:04 Dyson BC 1:30 Majority JS 1:58 SmoothBs BC 2:18 Omnef RP 2:36 Boingy HS (Edited Patch) 3:02 DIS-BD RP 3:16 2 RP 3:28 Chord-U RP
