Primarily, it will be used as a performance instrument playing live.
However, I was also looking at getting the most out of the recording side of it.
Reading all of these utter horror stories recently, I'm shocked and appalled by what I hear, as to my ears, there is simply nothing out there with the richness in sound that the TI has. It is simply beautiful for everything, including the polyphonic Moog emulation that I so desire.
What would people advise? Is it worth waiting til the elusive 1.1 arrives, or start trying out close alternatives?
Any comments, much appreciated. Regards.

I was a long time reason user, and then came into POWERCORE VIRUS the soft synth aspect (similar to virus b I understand), yet same rich sounds.....
From a recording point of view, you'll have the tc/works plugins as well.....
powercore virus, midi wise works great, I automate with an oxegen 8, and it's seemless.....draw back is I'm running a titanium powerbook 800, the "bare minimum" suggested to run virus powercore, and it shows!!!
I bought the ti keyboard, and the bugginess made me insecure to own it until the os is resolved, so I returned it. But it is the most fantastic sounding synth that all other's are to be compared to....
my humble opinion.......
