New fag here. Access Virus t1 or t2?

[Doc Jones]

yeah they definitely hold their value. In the case of the TI ver 1, it actually increased in value. When I bought mine new in late 2005, I paid $1,590.00 US for it! It's crazy how expensive the TI and its bigger brother have gotten.

yeah, I preordered it from NovaMusik in late 2004 for that price. By the time the TI finally became available in late 2005 the price had gone up but Nova honored their original price.

Its ironic that you bring up novamusik. The new one I was looking at is on ebay with their shop. They will throw in two moog pedals with the purchase and an expression pedal with purchase. Looks like you'd get your biggest bang for your buck with them.

I don't think TI1 is still in stores so your best bet to get a used TI1 desktop is in eBay which sells from $1200 to 1450. A brand new TI2 you can get for $1625 depending on your bargaining power. I got mine @$1700 with international shipping included. I would rather get a TI2 now that major issues are already resolved. Anyway the price difference isn't that much.

Having the keys is a necessity. I'd rather have a used t1 with 61 keys then a new t2 desktop at the same price. I need to be fully capable of playing the songs live. If I can get this used one for $1850 I will. If not I think I might have to save up for a new t2.

I think Novamusilk sells B-stock TI2 keyboard for $1999.This is a very good bargain. IMHO opinion though, I think the TI1 keyboard and Polar have more appeal than the TI2.Anyway, happy TI hunting.

Admittedly got on the the Virus Band wagon when TI 1 went end of line so a bargain for £1099(Approx $1600) for desktop. However with monetary exchange rates fluctuating the prices vary outside usa.

I'm guessing with the processor power there will be features that the Ti1 wont be able to handle however for me...the 1 is more than fine.

You can get a good deal on TI mk1s if you know where. I wont say what I paid for my polar but if you your suprised by $1600....... And I think Blowby is jealouse he cant afford much more than a second rate casio.
