Just a quick rundown of the differences between C and TI:
TI has Hypersaw, Wavetable (inc. Wavetable PWM), Formant and Graintable oscillators, programmable arp, Vowel and Comb filter effects, Arp-to-ModMatrix sequencing, stompbox distortion effects, rotary and cabinet speaker emulation, independent reverb and delay, 6 sources 18 destinations for mod matrix, new distortion, tape delay, freq-shifter, character, ring- & tremelo-mod effects, Virus Control, VST integration, extra poly (allegedly up to 80 for simple voices), Atomizer, larger bank storage and balanced analogue outputs.
Bit of a mouthful.
Wondering if Access will announce new hardware in Winter NAMM (end of January 2012). The TI was originally released in 2004, and the TI2 was a refresh in 2008/9.
The Virus has such a lot of competition sound-wise in terms of soft-synths which sound fantastic and offer mammoth flexibility now, especially as the Virus hardware costs thousands while soft-synths cost a tenth of that. I feel Access need to add extra value to the hardware, new functionality.
