Critic Reviews

Access Virus Indigo / Virus OS v4

soundonsound.com

The Access Virus Indigo boasts a robust build and excellent sound quality, courtesy of the OS v4 upgrade, offering improved reverbs and delay effects. However, its compact design results in a cramped three-octave keyboard that feels cheap and lacks aftertouch. The small LCD and awkward control layout limit its usability. While the synth shines as a compact sound generator, its limited keyboard and multitimbrality restrict its appeal for traditional players. Overall, it's a stylish but functionally constrained option, best suited for those valuing portability over playability.

Nice blue monster

My second and final synth the Access Indigo 2 version is a nice blue little monster with nice filters and a very warmth sound and has a nice retro-styled blue silver spacey look and thats how he sounds 'SPACE'. One detail the display is weak and flickers and I have to light it up with a external spotlight. To fix this problems is most expansive and besides of that, the synth must return to Germany which is also extra costs. I have a very little studio and because of his size he is ideal as second hardware synth beside my many software synths I use. I owned many synthesizers like the Roland VP330 - Roland Juno 106 - Roland JX3P - Formant modular - ARP Odyssey - Moog Rogue - DGS Scorpion Korg PE2000 - Korg 900PS - Korg DSS1 2x - Elka 505 chromatic - Suzuki SX500 - Firstman SQ10 - Yamaha SK50D - Yamaha AN1x 2x - Yamaha DS55 first synth - Yamaha TG500 - Waldorf Q + XT - Eminent Solina + midi - Ensoniq Fizmo - Emu Morpheus - Emu Planet E - Kawai K5000 - MAM MB33 - Novation Drumstation - Clavia Norlead 2 and Nord modular. There was only room for two synths and the Indigo which I used the most together with the Roland JD800 stayed in my studio. Instead for the most of my old synthesizers came software plugin versions. Nice note: the first owner of this Indigo was the keyboardplayer of the electropop band Hasselhoff from The Hague in Holland.

music nerd pride: choosing gear over cash

Nothing says you're a music nerd more than asking for an Access Virus for your 18th birthday, rather than money for going out. Music Nerd and PROUD!!!
