WHAT?!?! Don't tell me you can't rack the thing! I have my TI in my live rack and I was going to list it on Ebay this Sunday and replace it with the TI2.

Have you checked the bottom of the unit for threaded screw holes? That MUST be where they are. If there's no way to rack it, forget it. And if there IS a way to rack it, this means Access is going to charge for the "optional" rack ears. BULLSHIT!

So let me get this straight..... They release a new TI without ever fixing the quantization/timing problems with Virus Control. Nobody is sure if the TI2 will "fix" this problem. The TI2 is nothing but a repackaged TI with a tad more DSP power. And finally to top it off, NO FUCKING RACK EARS with your $2,100 synth?

It's probably powered via USB and it doesn't come with the "optional" power supply either.

the rack ears are optional now and will be available in the foreseeable future. we found that most customers don't use them, why making everybody pay for it?

To me that's a good thing
From the pictures I've seen it's beautiful.
It seems a bit smaller without the side wood panels
which means easier transportation. I wonder, can you
get a good protected bag for the TI Desktop?

@ Celestry: What did you find out about the sync issue?

So sorry, Soarer, i went off to watch Watchmen last night, and it's EPIC, so didn't get back in time to test! However, i'm got hours alone this evening so i'm going to be testing and posting before i've had me tea! (^_^)

'What Button Does What?'

OK, so i've been going through a few Arps (aren't they just so cool!?) and i find that i have zero sync issues through Logic with the correct buffer configuration. However, I am only really trying the patches via the keyboard, so there is no midi control via Logic just yet. I'll give that a go in a bit and keep you posted. (^_^)

Just put the buffer way up again and the Arps broke! Time for some midi control....

OK, with the buffer configured properly, there is neither latency or sync issues for Arps! (^_^) That is to say, playing both via the Polar or via Logic Midi! (^_^)

Hi thanks for the initial testing and feedback. Realy need a known problem project to be opened with the new hardware. Because every new project with the TI 1 starts flawlessly, just when you go deeper into programming that the timing drifts away.

Send me a PM and we'll arrange to have you send me the Problem Project for examination! (^_^)
