The Access Virus TI 2 has been discontinued: is this the end of the line for one of the synths of the century?

We’d suspected it for a while, but it now seems that the Access Virus synth, once the gold standard for virtual analogue instruments, has been discontinued.

A report on Amazona.de cites an interview with Christoph Kemper of Kemper Amps fame (as well as being the mastermind behind the Virus). He confirmed that the Virus TI 2, the final model in the range, has been out of production for a few months.

The TI 2 was released back in 2009, the last in a long line of Viruses that included the likes of the Polar, Snow and Darkstar. There were both keyboard and desktop models, and for a long time after the release of the first version way back in 1997, the Virus seemed to be the synth that every producer wanted in their studio.
