There is plenty of reason not to assume they will make this new release date. The main one that springs to mind is I have several emails from access saying things like 'The virus-TI range will be shipping worldwide from December' and 'We are expecting to ship the virus-TI in early January.' Which, of course have all gone to shit. And when you ask why you never get a straight answer.
The thing that worries me most is the lack of communication. It would be nice if they would just say 'ok, we are having problems with the software and its going to take a few more weeks' or whatever, but they just keep us in the fucking dark and have done pretty much since November. Only Ben has said anything who doesnt even work officially for access at the NAMM show, and even that looks like its going to fall through.
I will hold out for the TI because I want one badly. I love the virus sound, but I dont want a C and ive already had the limited virus powercore. I want the TI software, I want the extended amount of polyphony and I want the hypersaw. So no matter how long it takes I will wait (unless its a piss take wait) but Access's once prestine customer quality and service has been SERIOUSLY damaged by this shambles of a product launch, and the sad thing is they dont seem to give a flying fuck.
