Potential Buyer Asking a Few Questions

[mutilatedlip]

Hi All

I've been reading this forum with much enthusiasm for a while now.

Basically, I play and compose in an alt.rock band, and synths are a big part of our set up.

I've tried out pretty much everything out there, considered a Minimoog, but after hearing the Virus TI, I just love it for leads, pads, and general dirty sounds that just come out of it beautifully.

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.
