What's up Hatembr! No idea what the Snow will cost, but I might have to skip a mortgage payment to get one...

I think the price may be slightly high, but we'll see at Namm, it is just a ti with less knobs and physical outs so I'd Guess just under £1000, but can't wait to see/hear

The same sound engine, but half of the TI DSP power, maybe one istead of two DSPs ???
My guesss : Two Snows = One TI ????

All fine! thx! how about you all ? it's been hundred of years I didn't post anything, I've been very busy working, didn't tweak my Virus since months and months, it's a shame... I'll try to be here more often from now on!

Hatembr! Haven't seen that name for a while. Hope you're doing alright!

As for pricing, in the UK here Digital Village have got it up for pre-orders @ £829, which is £370 less than the £1199 desktop TI.

Supposed shipping: March.

I don't think a TI Mk2 will be around for quite some time now (grrr), given that Access released a 2008 catalogue along with the Snow, showcasing all the TI range. Actually that might be a good thing, no rushed release like they did with the original TI.
Mk2 should be quality.

Glad to see access didn't go and release a new beast of a synth. Just got the Ti a couple of months a go and I'd hate to have to get a new one any time soon.
However, this "toy" costs almost as much as a second hand Ti..

yeah, $1250us is definitely a little too expensive for this. I was expecting it to be in the $799 to $899 range.

Still streaming it, but the Snow appears larger than I initially thought it was!

Regards the price, I feel exactly the same. However, looking at it from another angle, I think the Snow will really come to its own and stand its ground when a TI mk2 arrives, and the Snow drops in price a touch. It'll be almost like a TI "classic", but portable, as well as being ideal for the soft-synth generation.

A very neat commercial move (future investment) on Access' behalf, I think. (And neatly clears the way for an Mk2. )

What Ti mk2?
Is there any official statement on that or is it just wishfull thinking?
Personally, I doubt that any kind of Ti successor (IF it's planned) will be coming out any time soon.
