We're finally back to working on the Virus TI2!

We know, it’s been a hot minute since we last did anything for the TI series. But that is all changing this summer!

We have multiple new banks planned, and coming soon!

Some will be sequels, but most will be brand new, for new genres we haven’t yet touched!

So standby for some massive new sounds!

And check out the latest TI2 bank we’ve made, Misty Ambient Soundset for the Access Virus TI2 & OsTIrus!

Misty Ambient Soundset for Access Virus TI Series & OsTIrus

$29.00

95 lush Ambient presets for the legendary Access Virus TI virtual analog synthesizer series. This soundbank is 100% Ambient-oriented, which means no weird brass, Trance sounds, or Techno patches. Presets in Misty are based on famous sounds from songs by big artists of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. This soundset is designed to exploit the TI’s wavetables, HyperSaws, deep mod matrix, and multitimbral virtual analog sound engine to their fullest potential!

Patches in Misty are based on sounds from songs by the likes of Boards of Canada, Tycho, Bjork, Dawnchaser, Massive Attack, Amiranu, Nightmares On Wax, All India Radio, Tangerine Dream, The Orb, Shpongle, Trentemøller, Angelo Badalamenti, Brian Eno, Entheogenic, We Are All Astronauts, Hans Zimmer, and many many more!

And to cap off the bank some patches were set to Initial, so you have room to write and store your own patches without overwriting any existing sounds!

No 3rd party FX were used in these sounds.

Sounds in this preset pack are suitable for the Ambient, Chillout, Downtempo, Psybient, and Cinematic Soundscape genres, and are organized by category into Leads, Plucks, Pads, and Basses, for quick reference

All patches are royalty-free and delivered instantly via email as a 24-hour download link

Requirements: Access Virus TI, TI2, Snow, or Polar synthesizer

Also compatible with Adam Szabo Viper VSTi,* DiscoDSP Retromulator, and the The Usual Suspects OsTIrus

*there will be some differences in some sounds due to differences in the architecture and features between the TI2 and Viper

Our adventures at Superbooth!

Hey all, we’re back from Superbooth 2026 in Berlin, and GASing super hard over a lot of really powerful instruments!

Had a blast meeting all the people behind the synths we make sounds for, and we went deeeep down a hole designing patches on the Iridium and Leviasynth and Fourm (and also discovered just how kickawesome the Teo-5 is)

You can see our video of the weekend, and our explorations of different synths here!

Kulshan Studios Will Be At Superbooth 2026!

Not as a vendor, obviously. But we WILL be roaming around the event all 3 days, checking out gear, talking with synth manufacturers, and getting into shenanigans!

If you see us wandering around, don’t hesitate to give us a shout! We’re always down to have a bier and talk shop about synths and sound design and music stuff!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

We’ve been keeping this under wraps for a couple months, but now we are proud to announce that we spent the last few weeks working with DiscoDSP to overhaul and expand the Factory I bank on their Discovery Pro VSTi, and it is part of the latest release of the 8.14 update!

So existing Discovery Pro users, you can grab your updated version, and discover a whole world of epic Trance, Hardstyle, Psytrance, House, Techno, Pop, Drum n Bass, and Dubstep sounds, all ready to use in your next big tune!

Most of the sounds we made for the new Factory I bank were designed using features totally unique to Discovery Pro, so if you like the sound of our banks for the original Nord Lead 2X, you can combine our banks with the new factory sounds, to make even more massive Trance, House, Ambient, DnB, and Industrial tunes!

Our Jupiter-X Banks Are Compatible With Zenology Pro!

You heard it right! Our Jupiter-X banks, the ones included with the JD-08 soundbanks, all load into the Zenology Pro VSTi!

So if you’re a Zenology Pro user in search of some new sounds for it, swing on by our JD-08 section and check out what we’ve got!

So if you’ve been wanting some fresh psychedelic sounds for your C, now you have some to work with!

Can You Use A Phone Charger To Power A Roland JD-08?

The answer, is yes, yes you can. We’re using a 25W Hoco phone charger on a 2 meter USB-C cable to power our JD-08. Pretty much any brand should suffice, although if Roland offers their own special charger for these things, go with that, if you want.

We’re using a regular DIN-to-USB interface cable to connect the JD for MIDI, because running the JD entirely over USB was throwing super crazy MIDI signals into the synth that were triggering random parameters whether we wanted it or not.

Windows 11 is funny about MIDI, and so rather than fight with it forever, and we didn’t want to spend a king’s ransom on batteries, we opted to run the synth in a more traditional way.

Since the user manual is vague on what kind of external power these can safely run on, we rolled the dice, and went with a regular wall wart phone charger.

And, it works!

So if you ended up here from a google search that had previously given you little more than an aging Reddit thread, this nugget in 2025 is direct and authoritative from us here at Kulshan Studios.

Good luck!

Can The Access Virus C Load Virus TI Patches?

The short answer: Sort of?

The long answer:

So, since the Virus C lacks wavetables, HyperSaws, and a bunch of the bonus FX, and even has fewer FX slots overall, forcing you to choose between Reverb and Delay on sounds, if you try to import a TI patch into the C, you could get chaos, unless the TI sound used the same parameters a C has in its menus.

As our sound designer associate has learned, pretty much all HyperSaw-based leads will default Oscs 1 and 2 to Pulse waves, with the PW thrown out to about 2:00 on the dials. Some Distortion FX get auto-ported to the Highpass distortion option. And the ratio delays get auto converted to Reverb (even though the C has 2:1, 4:3, etc, Delays available). The EQs mostly get reverted to their default positions, so expect to have to tweak those if you try to port over sounds.

Any sounds made using standard analog-style waveforms survive the upload though, and even most LFO and modulation settings make it through, although some that are routed to Destinations of FX that are not in the C’s memory get defaulted to random Destinations.

There ARE workarounds to the HyperSaw problem, vis a vis Unison, and running all 3 oscs at once, but it’s risky doing so for pads, because of voice stealing, which becomes more pronounced when Osc 3 is active.

However, our designer friend found that raw and gritty Trance leads, in the vibe of Raus by DuMonde, or Back by Airbase, or Symphonica by Timmus sound great. That classic Virus sound definitely does not disappoint, once you compensate for the functionality differences between the TI and C.

So there you have it. Virus TI sounds CAN be loaded into the Virus C, but some will require some work to sound similar.

News For Access Virus Users!

Hey Virus C, B, and A users! We have news!

One of our MIDI pack creators is partnering with us to work on an extensive project to port our current and future Virus TI Series soundsets over to the older Virus models! They’re focusing on the sounds the older synths are actually capable of, so some of the crazier wavetable and HyperSaw leads won’t survive the conversion, but a lot of other sounds will, and Ascension is mostly complete, for the Virus C!

After that they’ll start porting sounds over to the B and A, and sometime early next year, you’ll start seeing fresh banks for the entire Access Virus synth family up in our store!

So if you’ve been waiting for us to get off our keister and start making sounds for you, get ready! Because one of our vendors is making it happen! Stay tuned!

ATTENTION ADAM SZABO AIRWAVE VST USERS

Adam Szabo, the maker of the JP6K and Viper VSTs just released a JP-8080 VST clone, and it sounds awesome! It’s called Airwave, and from the demos, it sounds spectacular!

If you’re wondering if our JP banks will load into the new Airwave JP-modeling plugin, the answer, direct from the developer to us, is YES.

If you have been wanting a proper JP, and want a plugin that natively loads our banks, and sounds like the original, Airwave is IT!

Grab it, and our banks, and start making your classic-flavored trance anthems today!

📢 Important Update: Price Adjustment Incoming January 1st + Your Exclusive Loyalty Pre-Sale!

Hey everyone, all of us at Kulshan Studios wanted to announce an important update!

Effective January 1st, 2026, our sound bank prices will be adjusted across our entire catalog. This change reflects the increased effort involved in the growing complexity, cross-compatibility, and sheer volume of world-class patches we deliver every month. It’s a lot of work for us to maintain the high standards you’ve come to expect!

Most of our products, particularly the flagship synths like the Sequential Prophet Rev2 and Access Virus TI, and classics like the Nord Lead 3, JP-8080 and Nord Lead 2X, as well as multi-format banks for the boutique JD-08, will officially move to their new tiered pricing then. These changes reflect the synths’ pedigrees, the additional instruments that can load their presets, and the growing number of software plugins (like OsTIrus) that can run their patches.

The Loyalty Pre-Sale: Your Last Chance to Save Big!

As a thank you for your ongoing support, we are offering an exclusive opportunity to purchase any pack at the current, low price, with an added discount.

This Loyalty Pre-Sale runs from now through January 1st, 2026! And here is the best part: All current sales discounts still apply!

This is your absolute last chance to save before the new, permanent price structure takes effect.

So don't wait until the New Year! Secure your sound banks now and write your hits at the best possible price.

JD-800, JUNO-X AND JUPITER-X USERS!

BIG update from us here, for all you users of the JD-08, JD-800, Juno-X, Jupiter-X, and Jupiter-Xm!

ALL our JD-08 soundbanks now include bank files for the original JD-800, and for the JD-800 Model Expansion for the Jupiter-X and Juno-X synths!

And they’ve included files for the JD-800 Cloud VST for a while now, so you also have that available, if you use the plugin version!

So if you’ve been waiting for us to make sounds for those synths, your time has come!

New Product & Store News

Hey everyone, you may have noticed there’s been some changes happening here at the Kulshan Studios Store.

We’ve been undergoing a mix of restructuring in the backend, and undertaking a huge push to expand the usability of our existing soundsets, and make brand new banks for newer synths in our inventory. And we’ve also added several new freebies for you all, including presets for the Mininova, and some effect plugin presets that might be highly useful to any ValhallaRoom users out there.

So our homepage looks a bit different, and you’ll notice that our soundbanks, especially those for the JP-8080, JD-08, Blofeld, and Nord Lead 2X, have been gradually growing in terms of what other synths their banks are compatible with.

It’s been a mammoth undertaking, and we are happy to declare that our JP, Blofeld, and NL2X banks all work with multiple VST clones of the original hardware, and we have gotten 1 of our JD banks to be compatible with every other synth in its family, including the Jupiter-X series that can load the Zenology JD-800 software. We will begin work on making the other 4 JD-08 soundbanks compatible with all those other synths, and we will begin a huge project of making more new soundbanks for the JD, all of which will also be compatible with the JD-08 plugin, JD-800 keyboard, JD-990, Jupiter-X, and Jupiter-Xm.

Since more of our banks are becoming compatible with more software and hardware synths, and since making all that possible takes a lot of time and effort, you will see modest changes to the prices of some of our soundbanks after the New Year.

We will still work hard to keep prices affordable for everyone, but expect some increases to some banks after the New Year.

So now is a good time to snap up our soundbanks!

*But maybe wait a couple weeks on the JD-08 banks besides Glissade 1. We still need to convert the other 4 to the other data formats for the other Roland keyboards.
