Note: you can improve the emulator plugin’s dynamic polyphony and increase the available voices of the synth by using an external reverb plugin like ValhallaRoom, ValhallaShimmer, Valhalla Supermassive, or Valhalla VintageVerb, or Eventide Blackhole. If you use ValhallaRoom, here are some free presets optimized for modern productions using the Virus that will add professional depth and space to your tracks

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.
