Should I buy a TI yet?

[ill]

I have put a deposit down and Digital Village, but am maybe keen to delay, due to all the grief everyone seems to be having?

What's an owners opinion?

PS: when's the next software update after 1.05 due also?

PPS: Does it need USB 2.0 (as I have that)

Delay, delay, delay.

I don't own one but you only get a certain amount of time to return a unit... so why buy something that doesn't work - the price ain't gonna go up, no need to rush it!

[nutekk]

i would!
it works.

My instincts tell me to delay,
But my heart tells me to buy after demoing one, and losing an hour.

Having said that all the Virus TI's are sold out in the UK and I'm on a waiting list so the decision is made for me!


I may wait a bit longer, until there are a few more software updates and positive feedback

If you don't own an access virus already, then I would dive right in. I got mine on the first day of release and I'm still lovin' it. This is an awesome synth. All the gripes and moans I read on this and other forums, pale into insignificance every time I dial up a new patch and start tweaking.

However, if you already own an access virus, and you are simply looking to upgrade, and / or are hoping the total integration aspect is the most important... well, you MIGHT (depending on hardware issues etc) find yourself in the position of being yet another Access public beta tester - which could be fun in itself, if you've got no deadlines to meet. Remember though, it's all working fine for a lot of happy people.

I am amazed at how responsive Access are to fixing bugs, and I would imagine there will be new updates on a fortnightly basis until they get this whole TI thing sorted out. This forum and the ampfea mailing list are an incredible resource that Access employees and their committed bunch of beta testers read (and respond to) on a regular basis. Don't wait for everyone on this forum to stop complaining though. There will always be issues with technology.

Just my two pence worth.

I don't own the TI, but will mostly buy it eventually. But, I will wait a month or two more, so most errors are fixed.

Please delay! It gives us TI owners time to get our hit singles out!

you guys sound very excited about the TI

how is the 1.05 update treating your logic 5.5.1 setup.

is everything in hunky dory good order?

by the way what are your specs computer wise, and do you use something like powercore to prevent computer cpu overload.
