its always been at least a couple of years between releases for access...

if you want to cancel your preorder and wait around for a couple of years for a firewire TI be my guest - in the meantime i'll send you some nice hypersaw mp3 to keep you occupied

It would be nice for us to make that decesion ourselves. But it is kind of hard since we haven't even heard the TI yet.

Korg didn't announce that it would be released a month ago either.

To be honest, I can wait on hearing the Korg. Just want to hear the TI's new osc's!

Don't be pissed off - you're going to love the TI

And I can promise you it'll be worth the wait.

Another thing to remember is - there will doubtless be feature enhancements in future upgrades, just as there have been with all previous Access products. I wonder how many free upgrades there'll be for the Korg AL board?..

Well, you only have to look at the specs - Wavetables and HyperSaws don't seem to be implemented in the same way at all. In fact, even if both synths featured the same kind of wavetable oscillator, they would doubtless contain completely different wavetables. On top of this, the filters will sound different for sure, as will the effects. The overall sonic signatures are bound to be different anyhow.

I agree with Ben, but since the market and music in general is flooded with the classic Virus sound, for quite a few people it might be more interresting to look @ what Korg is looking to achieve.

The wavetable feature of the Virus is AWESOME, BUT since we have so few details, it's almost fair to assume that there is a catch somewhere.

Hypersaw should be very interresting tho.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still in love with the Virus sound

Has anyone else been wondering why The USB2 spec is being picked up so slowly? It may cost extra money to put in a unit but I think people aren't going to mind paying for something that isn't already being outdatted.

It may be possible that the new AWSOME stuff on the TI doesn't measure up to everyone's expectations. I mean take the vocoder in earlier viruses for instance.
