Access Virus TI2 Desktop Synthesizer £1,774.28
Access Virus TI2 Keyboard Synthesizer £2,324.63
Access Virus TI2 Polar Synthesizer £2,324.63

= £703.87 difference between TI-kb and Polar and the new TI2 variants. They haven't dropped the prices of their TI mk1 range yet.

DV247 (Digital Village) is the UK distributor for Access Music.

I guess they're price-fixing the pre-order aspect.

If those are anywhere near the real prices, I'm out of the bidding.

i need to follow this one up once i'm back in the office. let me just add that DV is not our distributor (we distribute directly to various dealers) and we did not increase the price worldwide but adjusted exchange rates (which in effect does result in a _cheaper_ price in the US for instance).

best, marc

Marc, if there are any secret features on the new TI2, now is the time to tell or secretly PM me before I blow some extra money off on a Blofeld.

Hi!
This is me second Ti! I had to send first one because of money need but I've missed it sooo much.

Whatever,
I ordered a ti|2 desktop from thomann , 1599 euros.

I hope it doesn't take to much to arrive!

greetings

I think the TI mk1 looks better. Bigger logo and wood that covers the entire sides... The mk1 Polar looked good with the wood under the keys... I figured the mk2 would at least have firewire instead of USB.

[Cantankerous]

I don't see a way to rackmount the Ti2 desktop either which is how I have, and need my current Ti to be.

Why would firewire be better? Firewire transmits at 400mbps but USB2.0 can go at 480MBPS..

firewire would be better than USB1... which is the speed the current TI's are operating at. either a full USB2 or a firewire implementation would open up a ton of tracks.

From what I've been told Firewire sends data in a constant stream while USB sends data in pulses, making it better for audio work. There's also Firewire 800 @800Mbps.

My almost complete electrical engineering diploma tells me that Firewire has a dedicated DSP chip for transfert, while USB require the main host CPU intervention more often. This result in Firewire being around ~20% faster compared to USB, mostly for large transfers (Hard drives, Sound interfaces).

The 400/480Mbps (mega BITS per second, not BYTES) rate are the theorical electrical max speeds the specification would handle.

Imho, Firewire is far greater than USB 2.0 for many reason, architecture, speed, convinience and more. The only thing is that since Apple made Firewire, Microsoft obviously used its ugly marketing machine to promote USB instead, because they like cheaper, less reliable solutions (just like Windows!)
