Is the TI 2 Imminent?

[Timo]

Currently I have seen no signs suggesting a TI mk2 is imminent, other than the length of time the TI mk1 has been the 'flagship', which as you say is since 2005 (actually the Virus C was discontinued in 2004, but the roll-out of the TI was a long period). That said, Access have tended to release synths every 4 years, but the TI has had (and will continue to have) great longevity as it's a much more complex synth than the former Viruses.

However in two weeks we'll know one way or another. (Winter NAMM show 2009, 15-18th January).

Access tend to also release OS updates (mainly bugfixes and small feature updates) for their previous synths long after a new flagship range has been released.

However I doubt they'll discontinue the Snow any time soon (they only released it this time last year, and it seems very popular), and the Snow has the same OS to the TI... So the TI is still in good stead.
