All I know that the Virus powercore sounds great, 100% Virus sound. I don't understand why people buy TI for it's sound altough the synth cannot be used normally? The reported bootup problems and crashes really keep me away from buying one. The software updates may fix some of the major problems for some people at some point but anybody who has worked with dsp cards (powercore firewire for example) know that it's impossible to make the synth work in usb mode with every possible computer. In theory, the total integration is a very good idea but it's nearly impossible to make it work with every computer setup.
I guess Access would be selling as many new Viruses altough they had left the TI features away and the synth might even work as well as Virus B and C do. When I still had a Virus KC, I never had a thought that it would suddenly crash or not power up properly. I hope Access will get things fixed soon, at least that the synth could be used bug free without the usb.
