Updates on Access web site
 

Featuring the all new Virus TI line, Access Music will exhibit at Remix Hotel New York from 03 June to 06 June 2005.


Anyone planning to attend?
From here it's a 6 hours ride, I think it might be worth it to see the synth in action!

My distributor has told me that the release will be 40 days after that demo! :D

Umm, where have I heard that before. :wink:

HC don't give us false hopes! :wink:

that's exactly what i though. where did you hear that from???

marc

damn it, every time I come on this forum, I see that signature photo above and think...

...I reaaallly need a girlfriend...

Which is no good... Music needs to be my focus at the moment, not beautiful, voluptuous women dancing around in bikini's.

How many others are finding their focus intercepted?

;)

omg<, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that, too. :lol:

Gotta keep telling myself "when i'm a self-made millionaire the chicks'll come running....... "

Hopefully this is a joke, otherwise this is very sad :D
heh

Ya daft tit, I meant it as in "if i keep focus and carry on making music now i'll hit stardom, then i can sit back and relax and let the good times roll".... ;) Double irony.

We could do with a few more women here, though. Or more appropriately, better weather. All the decent gals seem to hibernate for half the year in this country. :roll: However, spring is back!!!.........

I hear you Timo.

I've had a whopper dry spell. It's not so much when the money starts rolling, but more: when I have music I can happily play out to people, I can return to culture, and actually socialise, leading to knickers hitting the floor again.

Yeah.... Imagine a dominant, naked, finger licking bitchy style brunette, talking about oscilators, bit depth, quantization noise and vintage compression...

Yeahhh baby... I want you... ahhhhhh... insert your jack into my input ... cmon... do it..... stretch my.... waveform.... yessss... I want to swallow all your feedback.... don't stop... ahhhhhh...

That would be perfect... I would marry her immediately! :mrgreen:

"I met my wife at Sunesha 's!"


*POFF*

...Some things will never happen... :cry:

lol

Well, access should at least release some women untill the TI is done...

Best,
midi.

LMAO :lol:

:) Nice, but it may take some time to get them delivered :roll:

Sorry :? but I am sick of waiting now...

right...right...well, maybe some screenshots or even a "hotters on parade" demo to keep us satisfied while we wait then...
:wink:

best,
midi.

Thinking about going to SAE :D

hollocell,

who told you so?

marc

Hi Marc, about how long will it really be?

:lol:

prepare yourself for the usual "we are in the final stages of beta testing" reponse Timo... because I really dont think Access will be prepared to give us anything but an indirect, non-informative reply. :roll:

Obviously there is no way of telling just how many bugs/issues there are with the new OS and USB implementation - there really has to be a deadline at which Access ships - bugs or not... Im sure that Access would have this date in mind, but there is no way we will ever know about it until 'now shipping' appears on their website.

If the lockdown on info continues until the end of June I think we will start to see a greater percentage of preorder customers pulling out - well over six months wait is too much to ask, even from long-time loyal customers.

cheers

blay

Geez...I didnt realise that it had been nearly 6 months already! My how time flies......

:o

Yeah an update is long overdue!

I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever receive mine that I preordered back in december :(

well said.. 8) A sell is a sell. a company that loses out on $$$ by bad marketing are only hurting themselves by you not buying. power to the people! If I have lost money they should too. :wink:

Why would they? They have missed every date given so far. I say get other gear and wait to get your hands on the TI to see if it will actually live up to teh hype. My 2 cents.

You have got them figured out Blay! I would stick with hollowcells distributor's time and hope for better

Ahh, but the real question is; Which Demo?

Maybe I'm speaking about a Demo planned for the 2007 Frankfurt show, or maybe I'm just quoting something Ben said during his Sonicstate demo. :D

Marc...Any update regarding shipping time?

I've heard some horror stories and starting to get really fed up with waiting...Are we still looking months?

Well, what are we expected to think when the company has made no real official statement...the website not updated for months.....etc etc. Unfortunately this is exactly what happened to Waldorf for the 9 months leading upto its insolvency. Im not suggesting or hoping this is going to happen to Access.....but at the end of the day...fuck withthe customer base....you get fucked yourself.

I hope this gets sorted quickly......with all this secracy and delay....you'd have to be a mighty brave customer to invest ?1500 in a synth which sooo obviously had development problems. Hence the reason I opted for the safe tried and tested route of decent outboard, decent drum machine and and NL2x....

I definitely would have bought the Ti back in december/Jan....but after awhile....the novelty wears off a bit...and one does start to look more closely at 'what the synth still can't do' as opposed to 'what it can do'. Its a sad story...but im not the one spins sensational marketing slogans etc etc....its great if you can back it up with an available product to capitalise on peoples compulsiveness.....but when the product is not available its a case of.....'I hear what your saying....im just not feeling it'

DS

yep - 1st of June and *still* no update.
manuals/mp3s/animations do not count as an update...
I would like to know what is actually going on :roll:
Access have not said anyhting regarding shipping since they
missed the misleading March date...

cheers

blay

you mean the december date right? :roll: Its all a little vague.

access actually displayed march 2003 as release for some time - I think if you have a good look through the info available on their site you will still find March 2005 written amongst it - December 2004 in others...

cheers

blay

MARC:Will Access showcase the FINAL PRODUCT in NY this weekend?


thanks ;)

if the TI was practically ready for shipping....dont you guys think someone, somewhere over the rainbow would have told us by now?

The truth is.....it might be shipping next week or 6 months. Do you want to wait like a muppet?

DS

Damn, i think we scared him off, lads. =/

PS > Blimey DS, that's a full-on Jupter zoo in that avatar!

I think I would be scared off too bieng knee deep in shite with the consumers. :lol:

...I thought we were artists :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
