USB1 is not cheaper to do than USB2 (or maybe $5 cheaper per synth so it has no effect on anything but designing). We're talking about synth which will cost over 2000 euros and still no usb2 or firewire! Using the USB1 because of expenses is not a good excuse at this price level. Why doesn't motu and rme use usb1 in their audio interfaces? Those things are even cheaper than the Virus TI and they use firewire! Even the firewire wouldn't cost much more. We're talking about +/- $20 here (usb1 vs. usb2 vs. firewire).
