Classic Synths for FREE???
The Usual Suspects OsTIrus

Be aware that the firmwares needed for these emulations might be protected by law so please educate yourself on the legal situation before you try it out.

This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. I have no intention to encourage any illegal activity.

In this meme video we are going to talk about how easy it has become to get access to classic synthesizers like the entire Virus range or Waldorf Micro Q. Keep in mind that these are not some half-baked imitations of the iconic virtual analog synths but almost 100% authentic recreations that are available free of charge to be run inside your DAW. We will take a look at whether all these claims are true, compare it to one of the more recent original instruments and try to find out if all this might even be illegal.

I thought that using the TI emulator would cure my craving to own a Virus TI, but it actually only increased it.

[brandonhabera]

As a Virus C owner, I couldn't be happier with having this emulation on my PC because now, I don't have to recall all of my multi single presets when reloading a track, and I don't have to spend time recording the audio into the daw, but I *can* still use the hardware as a control surface to design patches—as long as the track with the plugin is armed and the synth is connected to the track's midi input, any changes I make to the hardware patch will be made on the software one as well due to the 1:1 cc mapping (for the most part). If anything, it helps me use the hardware more often than I normally would.

[ErichIzdepski]

I provided a tiny help to the guys doing the real work on the Virus emulator and told them about a version of the DSP in the Virus B they didn't know about.

[cosmicdrone]

That vocoder sounds like you're saying "Autobahn" every time! Love all your videos and this one is no exception! Thank you!

[orincat]

if the original is discontinued there's really no money to be lost...

[austinmitchell]

I really appreciated this being a rather different episode that explored a different type of gear/tech and shook up the format

[ThePointingArrows]

The most unintelligible vocoder shoutout since channel inception. Great job moog!

[dykodesigns]

That Motorola 56000 family DSP chip was also used in a lot of audio related products. The Atari Falcon famously has one which 30 years ago made Cubase Audio possible. That chip family is a legend.

[BlaAh-vi]

their Microwave XT emulation is the most charming VST i've ever used. at last something that's not trying to do fake analog… very dirty and cold, but amazing with a real character.

[KattKirsch]

OSTirus is the backbone of most of my productions at this point. I love the many pieces of bad gear I've picked up over the years, but this VST has me back at the computer in the best way. Thanks for shining eyes on this project!

[secretelitemusic]

I use hardware and software versions/editors of Wave XT, Micro Q, Ti kb, Virus B, MKS7, and ATC-1. The ability to recreate my home studio synths on a laptop in a sleazy Euro-hotel is not to be sneezed at.
Being able to dump and tweak sounds in both directions is fine by me, although the sheer hands on wibbling joy of the hardware is hard to beat.
Ethically, I know where I stand, but I'm not going to preach to those of the skint persuasion. Most of us have been (or will be) skint musicians at some point in our lives.

[Mattyunder_ice]

Thanks for ticking all the boxes, Florian! Love you

[zeronyne]

I’ve been dreading the moment when you would start varying this show’s format, but this is perfect. Well done!

[Thremboman]

this is amazing for synth preservation, i installed the virus one and it sounds great

[Abruzzo]

Owner of an original Virus Indigo here, bought it new in 2002 at a slightly discounted price just as the Virus C was coming out. Spent last night comparing orignal presets to Osirus and it's pretty spot on. I'll still never sell the hardware though as it's one of the best synths I own for fast tweaking of sounds due to it's great interface.

[FeAr]

some of those vocoder shoutouts would wreak havoc in a dark room in berlin at 8am holy moly

[MerlinErdogmus]

I have waited for this 2 years.
Seeing this now is just beautiful!

[slipknotboy]

~1:58 Hey, good on Waldorf!!
~7:33 Haha, that's great.

Good work as always, and awesome idea for a video. I think stuff like this is really cool, and a fantastic way to get some good synths for free. Neat vocoder shoutout as per usual!

*CHRIS CEBELENSKI*

Haha, looking forward to what you'll be bringing us in the future!

[TheHorseValse]

Dream synth, for sure! (90s kid here) Nice one! 😃👍
