TI Order Poll
 

Just curious... :D

IM ordering one when they come out.

DS

I have no plans to buy one whatsoever

I.... spent the money I'd saved for the TI elsewhere in the meantime. The TI will have to wait. I think there must be something seriously wrong with it, given the delay and the blanket of complete "silence" from Access, so I'll be interested in reading the independant reviews (SOS, etc.) before thinking about parting with my hard earnt.

Yeah all this silence makes me wonder if something serious is wrong with the TI also; funny that they wouldn't say anything for so long.

Well they are testing it...

I'd rather have them testing it for 6 months than shipping with loads of bugs :)

+ I'm sure they know that if they do the mistake to release the synth with too many bugs and not all listed feature, they'll go under.

I won't be buying a new one either. I feel I blew too much cash on the VC and should have spent the money more wisely.

If I were to buy a TI, I'd wait until the next version comes out and pick up the outdated TI for cheap (wish I did this with the C). Also user waves for the WT section is a must for me too.

As far as the bugs go.....It is good they are testing it fully before getting it out. The real problem is that anounced a release before checking everything out fully. This either shows that they didn't put enough work in at the start, or they were playing some strange marketing game.

Basicly if the independant reviews come even close to the hype generated by the staff, it will be a great synth. Everyone will forget about this release date issue very quickly if this is the case.

I was ready to buy in December when I sold my b and would have done so without thinking about it.
Now, I'll be waiting for the SOS review before deciding.

I have a desktop on order when it was 16% discounted!
I want the Kbd or P?LAR now, don't think I can swap now and keep the discount or my place in the cue.

Hehe, nice one! :D

I have no intention of buying a Ti........I still havent reached full potential with my C (RackXL), so all those new features would probably be wasted on me

I had a pre-order that I cancelled. I think I made the right decision. In fact, I wish I had cancelled it even earlier. I'm happy with the stuff I bought instead (UAD StudioPak, Minimonsta, ARP2600, TriTone EQs, and other software) and I'm actually making music instead of checking this forum everyday waiting for some overly-hyped, untested machine.

I'm going to wait until the TI has had the bejesus tested out of it by both reviewers and users before buying one. That'll probably be like a year from now.

Me not buying either. I thought about the Polar when it was announced and I could tell my Sweetwater rep. wanted me to get on the list but I didn't. I'm sure glad I didn't too. I'm happy with my C and maybe in the future when I re-evaluate my sound needs I'll consider.

Keeping customers hanging on like this is an obvious marketting ploy.

It keeps the noise around the product release happening and the more people hear about it, the more people will begin to wonder what all the fuss is about on this 'newest big thing' thats about to hit the electro music stores. Suspense, imagination of how good its going to be, the glee of being amongst the first to get your hands on it before the many others, the delight of at last getting it after all this time etc.. etc..

Access know that the majority of you/we will buy the TI no matter what, even if pre-orders are cancelled just now out of frustration.

By the short and curlies

ps - Hi, i'm new here and cant wait to get my hands on this damn thing :lol:

welcome to virusforum invisibl :D

i have to agree with you here - and i appreciate that fact you call it as you see it - rather than the access ass-kissing i have seen of late on this forum.

i too look forward to getting my hands on the TI - one day :roll:

cheers

blay

I've got a Virus C - why should I spend another grand or whatever on a synth that will presumably sound near identical?

Lets see......for all the new features that wont make it sound identical?

I have a preorder I'm not cancelling. I was all but done with hardware synths until the TI popped up, offering me exactly what I want -- essentially just plugin DSP power for my computer. Unlike I guess most of you here, I'm not as sensitive to the nuances of modern VAs, frankly they pretty much all sound good enough for me. The TI sold me on features, not sound -- integration, polyphony, and complete FX per channel because I'm sick of hassling with routing channels to FX busses in synths.

I know the XStations offer fairly tight integration but it doesn't look like it's done as well, streaming in as ASIO. The VSynth OS 2.0 is close, also, but I don't buy keyboards and I'm not shelling out $2200 for the rack (I got my TI desktop for $1600).

If someone would have released a similar synth at Messe I would probably have cancelled, but to my amazement the only other thing with a VST interface I've seen is the Lexicon MX200. I really would have thought some other manufacturer would have at least ANNOUNCED something like this, even if they hadn't actually started designing it. The Roland Fantom line strikes me as an obvious candidate, it's already got the USB port, just do something useful with it.

Anyway, the wait is unfortunate but I'm not crippled without it so for me it's no big deal.

Dunno mate. I'd really rather spend that kind of money on new stuff that would be totally different, rather than a little bit different.

I really want to get Reaktor. Anyone here use that?
