Yeh - I just cant enough 'attitude' out of the TI even with osc phase tweaked, punch maxed, the envelopes as blipy as they can be and using an lfo in one-shot to add a noise blip. This is the area where I find the V-Synth a bit more intense.
Needs a better compressor on the job as well - bog standard compressor that ships with Cubase SX - which I allways thought was crap - though TBH I didnt exactly pay alot of attension to compression - just cranked it
I would be interested to know what went into the original sample sound used - sounds like the kind of thing I could have got out of a D50 or DX7 quite easily.
