Virus TI Still Cool
I owned a Virus TI Polar for about 15 years, and sold it when I moved to another state, thinking I was done. I just bought a new TI2 Polar after 2 years without one, and I still love it. It hadn't worked well with Digital Performer for years, and of course Virus Control is basically broken, but it does seem to allow me to load and save all the sounds using my somewhat older Mac OS that preserved my old Photoshop app, and many music apps. So indeed, it's still great as a hardware synth with tons of sounds and history, and it looks better than anything in my opinion. I haven't yet bought the Aura plugins software, but it looks as though that will replace what's missing from Virus Control.
