They should sound the same. As I understand, the engine is pretty much backwards compatible with each Virus instance in the series (A, B, C and TI), but this is something that someone from Access-Music would have to confirm.

Well, obviously not all, since that would not show off the TI, but only the difference between it and previous Viruses in the series (A, B and C). To benefit new users (and Access-Music), patches of the past (series) is something that needs to be part of the TI, or at least SIMILAR patches.
Meaning one oscillator programs, one filter programs, vocoder programs or the programs created by (not to be terribly biased here
but...) Howard Scarr's which, accompanied by his "Virus programming tutorial" (which EVERY Virus user should read; on Access-Music support page for your Virus) is probably one of the most valuable resources to people who wants to learn how to program the Virus series synthesizers. Of course, I didn't mean to say that HS's programs are "better" than other programs on the TI, that were created by some very talented sound creators.
as far as I understand, the ROM sounds are freshly built for the TI (except for a few, explained above). Ben, Marc or someone else from Access-Music?
