Which Virus?

[tim-n]

There are just a few things that hold me back from buying a Ti.

1st: Money, I would buy a Ti new, this means quite some money, maybe too much, but I dont know if prices drop or not.
2nd: I really dont need that Virus Control Software thing, thats just the best part about hardware synths, you can do everything (except maybe sequencing) without having to look at that screen
3rd: on many fora I still read encounters with a bad Ti: malfunctions, impossible to upgrade, impossible to reset and stuff like that. Honestly, once a synth exceeds the 500 euro, I demand that it works properly and no bugz!!
4th: is the sonic difference between a C and Ti really that big and is the difference needed for what I want to do with it? I mean, the C will be my only synth for a very long time. The accent in what I make lies on rhythm/percussion, I will use the synth for basses/bleeps/screetches/screams/pads... more to give my tracks colour or a feeling, setting a mood is what it has to do. I dont think I need a supersaw or extreme preset editing (virus control) for that?
5th: the virus C has great reviews, prizes, owners,... the works and I already can get shitloads of extra sounds for it.

and as said before: going from a C to a Ti makes more sense than the other way around.
