Virus TI2 pricing....

I don't know Psy, all the new oscillators from the TI mk1 are sure getting a workout.

And there's Atomizer that is being caned although, personally, I tend to think of the atomizer as being something separate to the Virus. Almost a foreign entity.

Unlike Atomizer, I think all the things Joey mentioned would be a natural extension to the Virus sound and architecture, adding more usability and depth to it. For example the Moog emulated filters of the Virus C are a mainstay, why not add to them, or add greater flexibility in the LFOs and envelopes, or add FM as a new oscillator type. These things certainly wouldn't damage what the Virus is. They'd enhance it, and carry it further.

That's one of the reasons I'm just surprised the TI|2 hardware hasn't taken a step forward. I thought Access had a prime opportunity not to rehash the same hardware interface, and add something like a step sequencer (like the Radias for example) to the user interface with 16 buttons/knobs or similar - just something to differentiate it from former Viruses yet enhance it at the same time.

If anyone wanted a simpler Virus then by all means they could grab a Virus B or C.

My 2¢.
