I'm thinking of buying a new Virus TI polar but would like to know, if I can expect any new revisions or new products within the next 2-4 months ?

I would hate to buy it now and then see it being replaced soon :)

It's been less than a year since the TI2 line of synths was released. This is purely my speculation, but I suppose we won't see any new hardware from Access for at least a couple of years.

Marc @ Access has recently stated that the TI2 wont be taken anywhere that the TI1 wont. So the only difference that will exist between them is polyphony. This may hint that the TI2 might only have ever been meant as a "refresh" of the TI, maybe to tide them over for one or two years, and that a real successor to the TI may become available at some point after that, but this is pure, absolute, wild speculation on my part.

Whole heartedly I'd say go for it now KLP. The TI will already do everything you need and will never become 'obsolete' in terms of sound quality due to its versatility and quality of the sound engine. The breadth of synthesis features on the TI is incredible. And a successor may take years to arrive.

Access is all about software (tied to hardware), and I feel they may have more in store for the TI/TI2 yet.

I have the same idea... There won't be coming any new synth very soon...

There are still lot of things that can be renewed on the virus TI1/2...
