Actual Entry (non editable)
Virus Rack XL (c) 2002 Access Music GmbH. The Virus Rack XL is a dense, high-performance 1U rack-mountable virtual analog (VA) synthesizer. It was designed to pack the complete, aggressive sonic power of the critically acclaimed Virus C desktop hardware into a streamlined, space-saving format tailored for professional touring rigs and crowded recording studios. The internal architecture of the Rack XL is fully digital, driven by powerful Motorola DSP microchips running advanced Virtual Analog modeling algorithms. It features an impressive 32-voice polyphony engine and a 16-part multi-timbral layout, allowing it to act as a complete multi-track synthesizer workstation when driven by an external MIDI sequencer. Each voice consists of three main oscillators, one sub-oscillator, and two completely independent multi-mode filters (including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject configurations) that can be routed in series or parallel. To bridge the gap between menu diving and live tweaking, the slim front panel is equipped with a distinct red backlit LCD screen, a matrix of selection buttons, and five dedicated, assignable rotary knobs. The back panel is heavily geared toward high-end studio integration, featuring six individual balanced analog audio outputs, two analog inputs for external audio processing, and a built-in 24-bit coaxial S/PDIF digital output port. - TRIVIA - The "Virus Rack" Confusion: Access Music previously released a standard module simply named the "Virus Rack" in 2000. That original unit was based on the weaker Virus B engine and featured only 16 voices of polyphony. The Virus Rack XL was a major hardware upgrade, completely replacing its predecessor by utilizing the much faster, expanded Virus C internal core architecture. Per-Channel Effects DSP: Uniquely for 1U rack modules of the early 2000s, the Virus Rack XL features enough DSP processing headroom to run its internal multi-effects processor simultaneously across all 16 multi-timbral parts. This includes independent delays, reverbs, distortions, and phasers for each individual channel without choking the master polyphony. The Trance Anthem Engine: The underlying Virus C synthesis engine inside the Rack XL is world-famous for its "Hypersaw" capability and aggressive, lush unison modes. It became the definitive, industry-standard hardware sound source for producing the massive lead lines and driving bass hooks of early-2000s electronic dance music, Eurodance, and uplifting trance. The Vocoder Matrix: Taking advantage of its stereo analog inputs on the back panel, the Virus Rack XL features an advanced built-in 32-band digital vocoder. This allowed sound designers to modulate complex internal synthesizer pads with external rhythmic loops, live drum feeds, or vocal inputs directly through the DSP engine. - SOURCES - Machine's bios.
