Stories on what interested you to buy the VIRUS TI!

[jdmmade]

Hey guys, I wanted to buy my 4th synthesizer and I made sure to myself and promised myself that I am motivated to raise money to buy the Virus TI 2. So for a motivational kick... Please share a story with me about how you got your first Virus TI or Virus TI 2, and how it felt to finally grasp all that German engineered power.

Welcome here too !!
I have 6 synths, and from my all of them, I have 2 Access Viruses now.
The KC and the TI.
Absolutely love them and use them for 90% of my work.
And would again consider a TI2, if someone would give me the money.
Brilliant Pads, EFX and basses. Which is exactly what I like.
P.S. - VC is good, but I'm old school and run everything MIDI still. I find it more stable. Then again, the GUI is awesome for tweaks

My Indigo was my 4th synth, and compared to the others it just blows them out of the water. I suddenly realised what I had been missing, in that I had been trying so hard to make the other synths sound half decent when in fact you can't polish a turd.

If there happened to be a natural disaster and I lost all my gear, without a second thought the Virus would be the first one I'd buy.

My first synth was the virus snow. And I am really very happy.

I was intrigued by the warm, deep sound of the Virus series years ago whilst playing an Indigo. Had to listen past the techno presets (I despise techno) for the underlying character, which went MILES beyond what my VA's at the time could do. Finally bought a TI keyboard in 2006 because I could (those were the days ), before version 2 was released. V2 added all the crunchy wavetable stuff...essentially a whole new synth for free. Then 2.7, and 3.0...love it more every day.

And of course the wavetables he goes through.

After those I was hooked.
