not sure what the cost in Aust would be.

Could be liquidation? Makes me really wonder whats coming at NAMM.

It's only for the Christmas Advent Sundays, not an everyday thing. I sincerely hope there's not a new product yet :p

Viruses have really shot up in price haven't they?

TI mk1 used to be £1500 full retail... Now it's £1900 with a coupon. And that's with a current strong £Pound and a weak €uro.

The Polar is getting further and further away from my reach.

I wasn't old enough to bother when the Virus earlier than TI were being sold but the prices for TI and TI2 have never gone up in my country - it's always the same 1780€ for the desktop, it's been at least for the last 3-4 years.

Now, the used market instead....

sure, we're getting liquidated, but only on weekends ;)

I wanted to upgrade and purchase the TI2 61 key version, but when I figured out how much total I decided not to and just stick with my TI1 :-(

At this point I would wait for NAMM and maybe even for Musikmesse. There are a lot of things that can make their way into the Virus:

- user interface (more knobs)
- sampling
- user wavetable
- different models of filter/oscillator
- no cackles

Let's see...

Just my opinion... do folks really want or need a sampler in the Virus? At that point it just becomes kind of an all-in-one workstation, and there are plenty of those out there. I always thought the allure of the Virus was that it had a signature sound profile, as a dedicated synth typically does. A certain character that makes it a Virus. Once they start trying to be a one stop production shop, you're almost better off just using a PC with a DAW.

+1. User wavetables, welcome; samples as oscillators, welcome. Sampling and other stuff...buy a Motif, a sampler or use the DAW.
