When buying hardware designed to be connected to a computer people usually seek hardware that is compatible with the OS and software that they are running. Most musicians prefer to use up to date hardware to run their studio software on; since it's unlikely that Access will still be providing software updates for the TI in 10 to 15 years time it?s unlikely that the TI will continue to function as a VST. This will make it far less appealing to most would be buyers.

Oh it will... just like in the way today we use Kentons to controll our 303's and analogues. There will be an interface with software made by someone. Reasons are that once people start to play with this synth using the TI functions and find the magic hidden inside the demand for it will be there. I'm sure lurking inside this synth is a sound that is going to start a whole new generation of music, in the same sort of way the 303 did. Don?t go on the presets with this baby.

I take my hat of to the guy at Access who had this dream.


PS:How many Polars did Kraftwerk buy i wonder?
