Intro.... - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

If you like trance, then the TI is your instrument. The trance presets are rather ridiculous (in a good way). The first time I turned the TI on, I was absolutely blown away by what I heard in terms of filter quality. It really is an incredible synth (despite its many, many flaws).

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure I won't be disappointed. From all my research (reading, listening to other's music using Virus, youtube vids etc), this is no doubt exactly the piece of gear I need. The only thing that could disappoint me is for them to come out with a TI-Quad or something in the next year for only slightly more money that has twice the processing power of the TI2 and full speed USB 2.0 support..

Unlikely I'm sure, ultimately a risk I'm willing to take.

The biggest question in my mind at this point is whether one Virus will really be enough for me, especially with USB limitations. I went with the TI2, because although I really liked the price point of the Snow, I wanted the extra DSP. I would love to put as much of a track as I can on this single box, I'm just not sure how realistic that is until I actually try it. And, assuming I do add another piece of gear in the next year or two, I'm not sure what it would be? Another Virus? Can I use two at once without issues in the DAW (can I have to instances of Virus control)?

Not expecting anyone to really answer those unless they are able and willing, but those are the kinds of things I'm considering. I will spend a lot of time mastering the first one to learn the quirks and limitations before figuring out what's next.

I'm just looking forward to getting my hands on this one at this point. Just got the e-mail that it's been shipped, which I was a little worried about, because the price dropped recently by about $130 US and a lot of places were saying they were backordered. Hopefully this one doesn't arrive borked!

Does anyone know if it will have OS4 on it out of the box (I'm guessing no)?
