:lol:
No man I dont! :D
But the problem is I need a synth asap!
Thats why I wondered if the sound, with out these new osc's sound any different from a Virus C?
I personally can work without hypersaw and wavetable osc's.
Offcourse..
But I would love to use them.
Why i really want the TI synth, is for the "easy way to use"
you just plug it in via the USB port.
And I really love the idea with a VST plugin.
thats why I personlly want the Virus TI.
But after a little thinking, I can work without the USB connection and VST support..
I just love the Virus Sound!!

And I got a great deal from a guy in my local store..
Everything is used btw:

Virus C Desktop
Nova 2
Cs6r
EX-5
For 13.000:- Swedish Krona.
I belive thats 1200 Dollars, and almost 1300 Euro..

Great deal! And they are all good looking instruments, and they work 110 perfect!

Whoa, great offer. I saw a Virus C Desktop on Ebay at around 800 Euro. EX5 depends on extras, maybe 600 Euros. This would be 1400 Euros alone in germany.

And that Nova 2 and Cs6r "for free"?

Thats why there are so many swedish synth-pop bands. :twisted:

haha :D
I dont know about the pop-synth bands thou ;)
but its a great deal indeed 8)
They wanted to get rid of them, thats why he sells them so cheep!
I think I'll go for that offer, I really need a synth asap!

The TI Keyboard have to wait :(
But I'll buy one in the future 8)

the access site is down - are they updating?

Nope...just your shitty connection mate ;) the site is working for me

bah.
:roll:

cheers

blay

a 56k user statement.......

lol

DS :wink:

Finally a new update from my distributor!

Access and Waldorf join forces in business management.
OS .00000004 is complete, but still with a few bugs.
TI's colour has changed, because they needed to respray the units as the dust buildup caused damage.
TI will now be a knobless rack unit, as the knobs were causing trouble with the OS programming.

Do not email Access about anything my distributor has said people. I think he may be taking the piss. :D

November !!!
 

I just called Misc Store Collogne.
Their newest update from Access is : November!!

Access told them, it would be the most belivable shipping date!

And the thing is : Only because of problems with Mac OSX.4.
The other OS is perfectly working - also OS X.3. They need to rewrite the USB-Config for X.4.

They also have problem within Access (info from different Stores!) and they on?t know if they should release the TI before finishing the OSX.4.

I think : They should release it now!!

Can?t we send them a letter with all our signatures below it?
Or an E-Mail...

Regards

MarcTale

November?!?!?!?
Well atleast its something..
But November?

Thats a long time to wait.
So the only problem they had was with the new os?
Shit they vould have fixed that in a coupld of days man.....
Is this info correct? Is it official?

No. "Information" from stores should never be considered official.

No, the information is not official.
It?s what different stores told me (with the OS Problems!)

The November relaese date is from Music Store Collogne only.

I just sent a very long E-Mail with opnions from us customers to Access and hope, they send back some useful information.

Otherwise I?ll have a visit at Access. Maybe the I have some "success at Access" but I more think there will be "no access at Access!!!".

Regards

MarcTale

why not shave your head, put on some dark sunglasses, practice your english accent, paying attention to words like "Is that Fat enough?"

Then they will think you are Ben Crosland and give you VIP all access@Access

;)

I think it is a good plan.....and maybe get yourself some beta units :)

I've been waiting for eight months now, observing the posts in here, especially concerning the expected shipping date of the Virus TI.

I just created an account to say:
Well, that was it for me. I'm going to buy another synth (maybe Roland V-Synth XT or Alesis Andromeda). The wait is just too long.

Cya

MarcTale...Hopefully this is a joke!

November would most definately be terrible.
One year without a virus is enough to get me killed lol
Especially if they are holding it up only for the mac users!

Anyway, it's all speculation. Nobody knows :)

Does an Ostrich use breathing apparatus when its head is in situ? :lol:

But more importantly...

ACCESS, MAKE A STATEMENT OR SOMETHING GODDAMMIT, SO PEOPLE CAN BE INFORMED AND GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES WITHOUT TEARING THEIR HAIR OUT.

WTF IS HAPPENING?

Well, this is still the most "official" info we can get regarding the TI these days, isnt it? at least untill access would be kind enough to let us know where things really stand. I`ve been very patiant for the past 7 monthes, but this is starting to get old real fast now.

sorry for the rant.


Best,
midi.

I am sorry but i dont trust in access; this big silence is more than suspicious...... no updates at the web ....no news about :Join us at RemixHotel NYC
Featuring the all new Virus TI line, Access Music will exhibit at Remix Hotel New York from 03 June to 06 June 2005.... NO NEWS FROM ACCESS AT ALL..................i think i will keep my virus C as i did with my waldorf....another clasic synth.....i asked this morning at a big musicstore here at Spain and they have no release date at all; they are not selling any Virus from 5 mounths ago-------------Who is selling Virus at Europe???
at Spain No one............

a wise decision. I could only wish I have kept mine.

Best,
midi.

I just don't understand why they don't release the units as standalone synths for the mean time so we can start using the sounds etc. Then just email us the software once it works properly! The whole TI concept was obviously biting off a little more than they could chew. Thats obvious to everyone now. Surely this would be a better compromise than losing dozens of customers :roll:

Its probably just the stubborn Germans' unwillingness to admit that they got anything wrong. They can blame it on this OS and that OS, but alot of us don't care. We just want the sounds!

That is all 8)

Re: Expected TI shipping
 

i wanted to quote this just for fun


i'm still gonna wait it out, while you guys use your d-beam and time transform doohicky synth, i'll be playing with massively pitched down hypersaws some day

some day

Why yes, it does. Contrary to popular belief the situ has a very tight air vacuum, thus the need for breathing apparatus presents itself.

I love this thread! :D

crikees if it is MAC ox 10.4 THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS.
that makes perfect sense to me.

APPLE MAC have simply lost their -------.

so what is happening with the access bank account?

november 2004 they presented the Ti - since then sales of the C are almost zero.

every month they can not sell the Ti, they're without cashflow.

but cost are high because of development and introduction of the Ti.

i hope i'm wrong with what i think will happen to access.

pray.

You are. No prayer necessary. :)

Ben C
do you work for Access? Have connections etc etc..
Doesnt you have any info that you can share with us :P

Ahhhh......Bens favorite question ;)

sorry 8O

i am never going to trust a pshycic again.

2 pshycics said 20th June.

thats a no show.

also if ACCESS cant work out what going on with OS 10.4. NOR CAN ANYONE ELSE/.

november couldnt be the date. please no.

if thats the case i will buy somethin else.

so what's the thing we cannot work out with 10.4?

marc

ben's not but i am. you can save your prayers for something else. we are not in financial difficulties.

best, marc

So, Marc, you're working for Access... can you help me out a bit? I got a powercore firewire because of the virus plugin and spent a lot of money for the powercore and the virus. But the virus isn't working. It works properly for about 3 minutes and then it gets out of sync, losing every arpeggio, delay and making pitchbend-like artifacs. And, other than that, many pots are getting kinda resetted after a while. I've already complained with an e-mail at tc and didn't get any answer. But I was wondering why is Access letting this happen? I searched the powercore forums and found out that EVERYONE has the same problems as I do. But isn't there Access' reputation on the line? What about customer care? It's a fine thing making money by selling products that don't work. Because I can't work with the virus for longer than 3 minutes and then I have to restart cubase. If I had chosen this kind of way of working, I would't be a composer, I would be a beta-tester.
Do you, in any way, know if there is going to be an update? Or maybe a Virus|Powercore TI upgrade? or find me one single excuse why I bought the Powercore other than a non-working, crappy plugin that promises loads of things and can't deliver even a stable playback? because I can't find one.

Sorry I might sound a bit rude or agressive, I just don't earn a lot of money and when I deside to buy something, it takes me 9-10 months of moneysaving. I can't afford throwing money out of the window.
Please answer my question.... Please.
Alexander Ragousis

hi alexander,

we are working most of the issues above. you have a couple of problems though which i haven't heart of before. mostly the parameter reset issues.

send a mail to support@access-music.de and we will try to help you with the problems that might be related to your system and not to virus powercore bugs.

best, marc

Marc, thank you.

You dont have to be so rude.
I never said you're in financial difficulties, at least not at this point.

Well I all ready bought other synths for my TI money.
I'm just curious when you'll release the synth



:wink:

Not yet, but if you go on handling customers like you do at the moment you soon will be!
And it seems you don?t need to answer E-Mails at the moment and you don?t give a s*** about us customers.
Don?t you see that people get angry at the moment?
One after another is buying other hardware instead your TI!
It seems that you think you?re unplacable with your gear!

What is the problem giving out some information?
Maybe if it weeks or months we have to wait?

So we could at least save money for later (if its months) and buy other gear now.
I already paid for my TI and could?ve used the money for other gear when I have to wait very long for the TI.

It is no fun anymore!

I know I?m a bit harsh but your information policy is absolutely not customer friendly.
I think we deserve at least some answers while we?re waiting for more than6 months now and who surely have to wait for at least 4 months longer.

But I?m sure we don?t get useful information until it?s out and that?s totally dissapointing!
I?m sure I don?t evenget a useful answer to this post or my E-Mail I sent to you today.

Sorry for being harsh but that?s how I feel at the moment.

Regards

MarcTale

nord, before it'll get confusing here, my reply refers to the original statement:

"every month they can not sell the Ti, they're without cashflow. but cost are high because of development and introduction of the Ti. i hope i'm wrong with what i think will happen to access. pray."

and if i came across in a rude way, apologies, it wasn't my intention. the way quoting works here can be a little bit confusing.

marc

I heard there was some snickering about macintosh in corperate HQs bieng mocked as a pc now since moving from a ibm based cpu to a intel. some how a apple mysteriously got logded in the motherboard of all the software engineers halting further OS programming. :wink:

well i think as a Virus C owner that your company is not doing well their Job; tha Information is Very important in Bussines, iam sure that the long release of tI series is given problems ,but instead of being with your customers and make "something really special (advertising, special demos, not just MP3, letters or prhotos anyware or Something just Silence as best response..................as an example:

One easy question :
when will be the final Release?

What happen with people who give their money at the Pro music shops?
lots of people sold their Virus B or C to take the TI Series and many are reselling again last models.......any Shop at Spain is delivering Any Virus...............No Response..........................Why??

me too, it just gets funnier and funnier, especially when someone new comes along to demand info on the release date from marc.

I love not being able to afford a ti :) Of course that will change the day it is released :(
