Hypersaw demos?

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

If there is to be a TI MKII in the next couple of years....then I think it will be rock solid. Sure, the new TI has a few teething problems....but when one considers the amount of programming involved it should come as no suprise. Unfortunately for me I cannot afford the TI now.....argh ive gone to hell and back figuring out ways I could afford it. My student loan just wont stretch that far. Im just going to set aside little bits of money here and there so that I CAN afford the MKII if when it materializes...

As it stands right now....the TI does represent an incredibly powerful and versatile standalone synth...I feel people sometimes loose sight of that issue especially when there are no other hardware synths on the market which can do anoywhere near as much as the TI can.

Its ironic...that despite my bitching of the virus (from time to time) its still the only VA synth id feel comfortable owning. Its high quality build, good UI and complexity still appeals to me. I think its important to own a number of synths...that way you can use the Virus on its strengths.

Ho ho, i second that.

Furthermore, the TI concept is great. Just hope they implement graphical user/customisable wavetables (a la Z3ta+), change the pitch-bend orientation to horizontal, and add more hands-on modulation controllers (XY-pad, or ribbon controller, or joystick, etc....)

The virus is a capable synth, but the lack of hands-on controllers thwarts it dreadfully, imo.

IMHO, the three assignable softknobs are enough

IMHO, a ribbon controller can do stuff that knobs never could. Tapping, gating, controlling two parameters in harmony if the controller was sensitive to pressure, like cut-off on the X-axis and resonance on the Z (pressure), etc..

Even 20 soft knobs couldn't do that. You still need at least one hand for playing, afterall, and the Virus is supposedly geared towards live use (hence the onboard knobbage).
Ribbon controllers are very expressive transducers. A bit like a mini Kaoss pad.

But, I digress, back to Hypersaws!.....
