God, when is it?!!!

Hang in there fellas. Hopefully won't be long.

get both !!

Yep......

However, they didnt have to announce an unfinished product back in November did they hehe. Its self inflicted pressure. There is a Summer NAMM they could have announced at......in my view that would have been better (hindsight of course lol).

But its all academic now.......its important for Access to just keep plodding on and finish the Ti range and get it outthere as and when they can. The last thing anyone wants is a seriously buggy VA. Im confident Access will do a good job in the end. There are some lessons to be learned here......and im sure the guys at Access will take onboard the constructive criticms positively.

SO with that said....someone plz wake me when its shipping....DOH!

The V-Synth is actually quite a competent VA IMO, and with the new JP8000 supersaw and feedback oscillators it can only get better. Not quite as flexible as a Virus but it couldn't be easier to program and that counts for a lot. The arp is also kick ass and can be used to modulate sound params like filter cutoff and res etc, something that even the new arp on the TI can't do. Once you have created your VA patch it is then a cinch to resample and get seriously weird with the VariOS section.

However, I will still be getting a TI mainly for the Total Integration aspect. I recently sold my Virusb to fund it and I'm now having a great time exploring the VA section of the V-Synth.
There is also a rumour that OS2 for the VSynth will have streaming USB audio ... whatever that means (I doubt it will be anything like TI).

I'd so love to see this as a future feature of the TI. That'd be absolutely wicked. Along with the new 'programmability' of the arp', it would resemble a very powerful step-sequencer. Would be the icing on the cake if it was also possible to transmit this data on definable CC-Midi control channels externally, as well.

True, but it just isn't measuring up to some of the top VAs on the market just yet. Although who knows if they keep adding cool stuff. It may get there. The V-synth for me is the waveform mangling.

The arp on the V-synth is seriously amazing. I have read alot about that infact (still want to own one so I can try it out though). Having the arp to trigger one note in each keyboard split, but having a different filter on each split, so you get a rythmical filter changing. Cool, cool stuff. The arp is amazing for sure - just wish it transmitted out as normal midi controller data, so you could control the filters and the like on the other synths in the studio.

I'm not sure if that works on the V-synth actually, it may be an XT only thing. Not enough has been written about it yet (that I could find anyways)

Fuck I really wanna a V-synth. Serious GAS, but no money to burn.....
