Winter NAMM 2010 - TI OS 4 Announced - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

I think it might get released today in the next couple of hours. it says: "

OS4 will become available shorty and is a free update for all Virus TI users."

I'm hoping. Well anyway, I'm spoiled. I'll be expecting a new major os every year at namm. I think I like the arp feature the most. But the stomp boxes made me hungry (they're named after spices).

Given that the original TI was released in Nov 2005, do you reckon it's likely this will be the last of the big OS updates before a new hardware model comes out? It's hard to imagine that Access wouldn't be putting out a new (not updated) Virus within the next two years.

I don't know. I would think so, but they just put out the TI2 last year so the TI line has to have a few more years in it. This means nothing but the virus C went up to os 6.5 so maybe we'll get a couple more major updates. Who knows... I was happy with os3 and am ecstatic with os4...

Marc said in the official forums that TI2 is not a new line but a revision and I don't think there is a connection between their (marketing) plans and version numbers :P maybe they got to 6.5 with the previous line when they realised 'TI' is a good idea and I'm really sure that they'll come up with a new horde of beasts in 2-3 years...(WhiteOut Keyboard, please!) and that new line will balance all extremist opinions about the Virus (I hear from many people they're absolutely satisfied with their TIs polyphony/stability-wise and I hear the opposite from still many).

It's good to see a synth manufacturer indeed, that comes up with OS updates packed with newer and newer functions regularly.

and again, can't wait to see a loooooooong coverage video from NAMM
