Hi All,
I've had my TI desktop for 2 months now and the biggest surprise to me was how *musical* it is. Its a real instrument, and I find the edit menus and select buttons don't turn it into an editing chore like say a V-Synth.
Some things I wasn't expecting to like:-
The envelopes are fast! Useful envelopes, not coarse like Roland and Korg synths. Mastering the attack, decay and release curves in the mod matrix gets the sounds just right. I can't imagine working on a synth without adjustable slopes now
The TI is much better than I thought. I wasn't expecting to ignore the VST gui and use the hardware knobs for everything. Very cool.
The filter is deep and complex. Overall quite dark, but I'd call that warm and rich compared to most VA keyboards.
The effects are extremely good, not some stock standard module stuck on the end. If anything, individual reverbs for all 16 parts is going overboard a bit
Modulating with single cycle LFOs or the complex waves is a brilliant idea.
So overall, it exceeds my expectations in most respects. How many keyboards achieve that?
Cheers,
B
