No additional controllers (ribbon-controller/XY-pad/joystick), no high-speed USB2/firewire, no step/mod-seq, no customisable waveforms, no new oscillators, no additional filters...

If the DSP alone had followed Moore's Law, it'd be 4x the DSP [400% poly] of the original TI mk1).

Bit disappointing after five years. =/

It's not a Ti V2 though , it's just a hardware revision/update...

they've sorted bascially everything they said they would with the Ti so far and added more shit than I know what to do with.

the 25% extra may not actually be extra DSP . it may be down to just better coding of the OS

Marc -- what's the score on the extra DSP power ?

Doesn't the SNOW already have USB 2.0? I was always under the assumption it already was - and if not: I have never hit a bottleneck where the USB speed was a problem.

I would presume that faster Freescale Dsp chips are in there which share the same instruction set etc, maybe higher clock speed etc. I'd like to know if it will sound "exactly" the same as the TI1, with the issues I've had with timing etc.

is the installer working under vista 64 bit?

All new effects were designed to allow everything from subtle
of change through to altering the sound beyond all recognition. The algorithms were created with both sonic
quality and a low CPU footprint in mind.
A tremendous amount of research went into the new additions ensuring a totally different level of quality in
comparison to the legacy algorithms. But even the legacy algorithms have been improved by additional parameters
which makes them more flexible and powerful.

so it may just be claiming back resources to make it more powerful ?

also it seems that the new version has a slightly different way of effects operation ...

Virus TI2
Press EFFECTS SELECT (Lower Row) until the OTHERS
LED is brightly illuminated. If necessary, locate the
Frequency Shifter page of the EDIT FX menu by using the
PARAMETERS buttons.

Virus TI
Press EFFECTS EDIT (Lower Row) twice. If necessary,
locate the Frequency Shifter page of the EDIT FX menu by
using the PARAMETERS < > buttons.

Virus TI Snow
EDIT/SHIFT+EFFECTS, then locate the Frequency
Shifter page of the EDIT EFFECTS menu by using the
PARAMETERS < > buttons. It is listed after the Phaser
pages.

Mine installed just fine. :-)

Been playing around with OS3. There are a few bugs and hiccups.
But, w00t for new OS.

The confusion with USB v2.0 is that there are three types of USB v2.0 chipsets (for different speeds). Low Speed (1.5Mbps), Full Speed (12Mbps), and High Speed (480Mbps).

All the TIs have the mid-range "FullSpeed" USB v2.0 chipset @ 12Mbps, which is incidently the fastest that USB v1.1 can achieve. Hence the confusion.

TI Snow upto 110voices? Where where? :confused:

Interesting, am I reading it right - the TI 2 has 25% more power than the TI V1?

I saw that on the site, it may be a typo, or maybe not!!
