I was lucky to sell my KC about 1 week before the TI was introduced. So I got a good price of it because it still was the flagship model.
Yes, the sound of the TI will remain the same which is a good thing because the sound of the virus is very good. The extra oscillators are welcome but not necessary. I see many people (mostly beginners or simply software users) think that "Oh my... there comes the hypersaw! Who needs the JP8000 anymore!". It seems that people expect the TI to be like the god of all synths (it will be maybe the best but not a god) and a synth which replaces all the other synths and something supernatural. I guess the hypersaw oscillator was designed just for those people who are grazy about JP8000 and Access have done a really great job introducing it because over 50% of people have gone nuts if you take a look at these forums (trance.nu for example).
Well, like AcideDigital said, the TI will be just another Virus altough it has the extra features. I love the virus sound.
In fact I am going to purchase a Virus TI, because the virus powercore-plugin somehow doesn't work well in my system. However the TI will NOT replace any of my existing synths (JP8080 + several analog) because it doesn't sound the same. TI sounds like virus and that's it.
btw, where does these descriptions come from: "F5D
Analog Synth Dsp Lover" ? I guess the moderators change these...
Oh, and I don't have the usual "blue/white leds showing the forum activity. I have 5 beautiful and super powerful DSP chips! WOW! Thanks Juho!
