VIRSU TI - Worst Synth Ever?

[TOTAL]

namshub, don't worry about those idiotic responses. This is something typical to this forum.

whenever someone gets p|$$ed with this faulty device, what follows is spam - first by "hooligans", then by "country idiots".

Then eventually another one ressurects the f****** thread 5 weeks later....

one more thing.

It actually is possible to use TI without serious problems.

My current workaround is:

using factory presets and modifying them on the fly (e.g. in warm-up part at the beginning of the project) with CC's, rather than sysex


midiOX or some other midi librarian if you need sysex messages (dump singles rather than the whole arrangements, though)

short-note arpeggios (long ones get outta sync)

carefulness about the output loudness of TI - make it rather too quiet than too loud - I know of three incidents of burnt equipment (my amplifier twice, plus sb at ampfea reported burning the speakers); not a word of help from Access; ppl say buy hardware limiter, buy mixer, buy dedicated synth amp; got no opinion here

not too many arps at a time

not expecting all that is written about TI - f.e. better use midi mode rather than VC

patience - if they repair the TI system it will be a very good device; if not - you still have the time to warranty-return it, because it is sold incomplete (f.e. no remote function)

PM if you need some more info

Definitely the worst synth ever!
I have just opened it and started to play with the DSP chips...
2 tracks with some unison, bang! You're out.

Do you mean you have actually opened the unit in an attempt to mod the dsps - or did you just receive shipment of your unit?

Hi Peter

Out of curiosity...are you the guy who Blay banned over on the TI foums. The Sick of Access dude?

I have a 6th sense that you are!

Yep I reckon you are on to it DS.

All will be revealed when we resolve registration IPs and emails.

For Pete's sake

cheers

You can make r&b, but not EDM.

Strange that the old supernova 2 from 2000 can run 8 parts at the same time tweaked to max! And i've heard some very well tweaked patches that sounds just like a virus made on supernova 2.

Case closed.
