As much as I love the V-synth, it will never replace a good VA. The V-synth is a sound engineering tool which needs great sounds to put in it before you can get great things out of it (IMO).

The V-Synth is actually quite a competent VA IMO, and with the new JP8000 supersaw and feedback oscillators it can only get better. Not quite as flexible as a Virus but it couldn't be easier to program and that counts for a lot. The arp is also kick ass and can be used to modulate sound params like filter cutoff and res etc, something that even the new arp on the TI can't do. Once you have created your VA patch it is then a cinch to resample and get seriously weird with the VariOS section.

However, I will still be getting a TI mainly for the Total Integration aspect. I recently sold my Virusb to fund it and I'm now having a great time exploring the VA section of the V-Synth.
There is also a rumour that OS2 for the VSynth will have streaming USB audio ... whatever that means (I doubt it will be anything like TI).
