I'm returning my TI...I'm afriad of the issues..any thoughts

[Khazul]

If I wasnt a techie - theres quite alot of 'not-quite-there-yet' bleeding edge gear I would have ditched very soon after I bought it, simpy because there comes a point when you spend so much time being f****d around with its issues that you never get much out of it.

The TI despite its issues is the only item in that category that I will tolerate - because when its working (which to be fair is most of the time) there simply is no other synth that comes close to it except perhaps for a Virus C.

Each to his own - I fully sampathise with you - there comes a point where you just need to get stuff done without something distracting you all the time. If you really like the Virus sound, then maybe a Virus C might be a good intermediate step until the TI stabilises.
