Comments on: FREE Access Virus C Synthesizer Emulation By DSP5630 (But There’s A Catch!) https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/02/15/free-access-virus/ Freeware for music producers! Sun, 28 Jan 2024 17:51:33 +0000 hourly 1 By: RobSt https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2023/02/15/free-access-virus/#comment-379847 Sun, 28 Jan 2024 17:51:33 +0000 https://bedroomproducersblog.com/?p=45815#comment-379847 I discovered this today (28 Jan 2024) and am blown away by how detailed and wonderful-sounding this emulation of the Access Virus B or C is! It may become my favourite VSTi — and it’s free (like the best things in life),
Why spend around, or even more than, €1000 for a used hardware unit, when you can run this on a laptop for absolutely nothing?

On the original skin, I never clicked on the presets button.
I would always select through the left side that listed huge banks, but no categories.
I just figured this out today. I’m such an idiot.
Everything is categorized beautifully now. Still learning.

Only the virus will work. It’s not an emulator for other synths.

Musicrow is still selling it, but changed the name (wisely) to “Cyrus”
It is on sale at the moment costing €14, but needs Reaktor (full) to run

For better performance use c rom 6.5, not 6.6….
6.6 was a beta, still discontinued, attempt to bugfix, but this not fixed, only more problems appeared. And according to tests, 6.5 is better (performance, faster calculations, less bugs). Also virus classic rom and b rom give more performance, but less features, polyphony and some difference in presets due to filters etc (try Bypass preset from vengeance packs).
All presets sounds same as my hardware.
It uses same native unusual sample rate as Virus hardware does (46875 as remember correctly), so plugin goes with built-in sample rate conversion to DAW project sample rate. It is not good, so 44100 sounds worse, dirtier at highs (noticeable on low sines), a lot of aliasing due to conversion. So 48000 and up are waaaay better.
Waldorf mQ is next as I understand. No modern synths because they are on market, only old discontinued.

OK.
1.2.29 is beta so you have to wait for this bug to be fixed unfortunately

It’s not a quarantine issue. I ran xattr -cr to clear any extended attributes from the component files (I’m using the FX version as well) but they still fail to validate.

Logic takes significantly longer to launch as it tries to scan the Osirus component files. Then it stalls again when adding a new track.

Everything works fine once I roll back to 1.2.25.

Maybe this information will help:

@Mac @Logic Pro For those of you having validation issues with the 1.2.29 builds and have run the commands to deal with the signing issues, did you modify those commands to reference your actual environment?

Please note that the name of the plugin files themselves have changed with 1.2.29 (from “DSP56300Emu” to “Osirus”) and you will need to modify those -xattr commands to reference the actual path and filename of the plugin files you want to “fix” and allow as unsigned plugins to validate. Use the examples below (filling in the blanks of the plugin names and correct paths if yours are different):

1.2.25 and prior:

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/DSP56300Emu.vst3

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/DSP56300Emu.vst

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/DSP56300Emu.component

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/DSP56300Emu.clap

1.2.29 and future:

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Osirus.vst3

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/Osirus.vst

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/Osirus.component

sudo xattr -cr /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/Osirus.clap

Using the update files instead of a ROM dump is a nice move.

Unfortunately this new version fails to validate in Logic Pro on Monterey (latest versions). Hopefully they can fix this soon.
