i know this is going to be unpopular but...

...i have to say it.

I LOVE MY VIRUS TI.

i know many many people are frustrated and at their wits end with this, but im sure access is going to come through soon enough. yes, they have been silent about 1.1, and the vst is not quite there yet, but...
dont get me wrong, i think that access should release 1.1 pretty quickly, and i feel sorry for people who are having lots of crashes, but being in support myself, i know that its difficult to be all things to all people. i wonder if my good experiences are an isolated case, or what?

heres my situation: i have the polar, 1.09, have usb hooked up and analog outputs. thats it. so far:

-its been extremely stable. i get no stuck notes. i dont use multimode. i only use seq mode.
-ive never had a dsp crash. hope i never do.
-vst doesnt really work. no big shocker there. im happy enough that everything works solidly through the usb, and that i can use i can kinda use VC as a patch manager.
-i cant wait for the remote control version, but for now, again im happy to program the moog and other stuff to LEARN knob cc's, so its no big thing.
-i love the sound. i love the sound. i love how hard it can be. i love how soft and thin it can sound. i love how im discovering new things all the time. i love how i can make a bass sound that inspires a bass line that inspires a whole song.

i remember back in the EARLY days of the nord modular, when there were similar kinds of complaints about the lack of response from clavia. there were all sorts of press releases about new exciting features coming out (that never came out). and i remember being mostly happy with version 2.xx, and doing the upgrade to 3.03 and actually having some features taken OUT that i liked. i was frustrated, but i put it all in perspective: its a f_cking synthesizer, people!

there are lots of frustrated people on this board, and i definitely feel sorry for you. but, for what its worth, THANKS access! i am a happy buyer.
