Im not going to be popular around here with my opinion on this issue....but I'll reiterate myself (I'm not in any way dissing what HC's saying....but I'd just like to share my thoughts).

I dont think it would be a wise move for Access to start dropping in USP's of the TI range just to keep existing C owners happy. For one, Virus C owners should already be happy with what they've got (Now, I appreciate this is a little hypocritical...as I did have a few issues with the KC myself lol).

Secondly, I believe Access need to try and maintain the distinction between the Ti and all others that have gone before. In my opinion the TI 61 keyboard looks a little like a beefed up Virus KC as it is (Im not absolutely comfortable with this...but hey what do I know lol ). To then give the Virus C new oscilators....would, for me, really confirm my worst fears......Virus D anyone? Virus E? Virus F?......

Thirdly, people who splash out ?1500 are going to want a synth that is the dogs bollox......why deny new customers that privilage? They may as well buy-up all those 'cheap' Virus C's on Ebay!

Im not too bothered about simultaneous delay/reverb (its nice its got it....but by no means the end of the world if existing virus' dont). If Access do stick the new oscilators on the C....then I'll do myself a favour and save ?600 and buy a used Virus KC......but thats a trend I dotn think Access will want to see.

The SynthWizard has some advice - Back in the 1980's music was better, TV was better, films were better. Not to mention fashion.... Let me help you relive the past with some classic 80's sounds from my vintage synth collection....
