Cool, I wonder if you really need this extra 25% of the ti2 to use these features properly?

Do you need a 25% faster PC to run windows?
No. But you can use the 25% to run more programs.

Same thing with the Ti. You get more voices/effects. But that's about it. The architecture of the synth is the same, only difference is the extra DSP power gathered through optimization.
I'm pretty sure the Ti2 still has 2 DSP Chips, same as the TI1.

If the difference was 100% (or 400% like the UAD-2 vs. UAD-1 for example) then Access would probably make some more DSP intense additions to the Ti2 which the Ti1 couldn't handle.
But that's not the case.

Not a great analogy since some plugins just would and could not run on an older pc. So what I was wondering was if there would be any new features that the ti couldn't handle.

I was counting on some common sense. My mistake.

Man can't wait to get stuck into new filters and see what stuff the virus can coax out now .... Well done Access!

[Alakhai]

[L.F.]

Vowel filter? EPIC!
This is gonna be an amazing update!
Thank you Access!

[Alakhai]

Hope they will release the patches used in the "demo" file, I love them.

Gotta hand it to Access... these OS updates are a superb addition. Love the vowel filter.

Is there a better overall synth than the Virus TI? I don't think so.
