I guess only 10-20% of people who buy a TI even know about this forum and don't know anything about the bugs. The only thing these 80% know are maybe some magazine reviews (SOS, Future Music etc.) which don't tell how the synth is really working. So the demand may still be high due to the hype around TI which has existed from the day it was announced.

i dunno about you guys, but if i was access, i wouldn't admit to releasing higher quality and potentially more stable revisions of my hardware because i t would cost a fortune in equipment returns. that being said on the other forums, someone had mentioned it could be inconsequential things that would be changed, like the way it's wired, possibly the pcb arrangement etc.


the DSPs, metal and knobs and everything else will probably remain the same that make the TI what it is. that being said, the one i got ended up being a display model that i think spent some time in an employee's house for a bit, and was just returned. when i got it, it was preflashed with the beta 1.1.1 so thats the only explaination. and i've had about 1/10th of the problems people are finding. or mabye i'm just way more forgiving XD
