well, i wont be purchasing a TI because i simply do not have the money and my virus b seems to get me a big chunk of that 'virus sound' so im sort of happy in the position im in. that said, the first post of this thread is really cynical.
first of all i like the sound of my virus b but by god are there some things about it that feck me off! multimode being one! the 24 note poly spread over 16 parts being another! the enforcement of global delay/reverb being the third! argh! the MIDI sync issues i get my fl studio which is undoubtedly the worst of the lot.
if the TI goes any way to fix all of those problems and theres every indication that it is going to, that alone would make my life soooo much easier i would consider getting one, when the price goes down a bit of course. money is always an issue in the WKid camp. the total integration aspect of it is what i was interested in. i dont really care about the hypersaw or the wavetables but hey - its extra functionality. stuff i could take advantage of later and which is always there should i have need for it. im too busy exploring the mind boggling variety of sounds capable on my virus b to be caught up in the extra technologies that come as extras. the asking price is a bit steep i feel but im a miser and since i already have a b model, if i had 1500 quid to spend on a synth id go for something that would broaden my sonic pallette - probably an alesis fusion. that said, if i didnt have a virus b already, the TI would be high on my list of gear to own.
