Why did access design and sell the ti with problems ?

[Timo]

Only problem I've had with my Indigo Virus was some of the pots were damaged slightly and wobbly (didn't affect usage), but this was due to the guy who sent it to me in the mail. The rest of it is built like a panzer. The OS has never locked up on me.

I remember Digital Screams had to repeatedly keep sending his Virus KC back for some problem or another, though.

Guess it's the same with other companies. With the Radias, for example, the older main jog dial they used was notorious for becoming glitchy and unusable (I believe they've since changed this component), and the volume pot on mine was also very crackly. But these are hardware.

The TI OS is extremely complex compared to earlier Viruses. I guess it's hard to find all functionality problems at first, but given time and feedback...

Gnome you should report the bug to Access so they can reproduce the bug and fix it.

This needs to be put in context - It was Turnkey (music shop) that caused the problem. They kept shipping me 'new' units which were clearly customer returns or gigged b-stock. They were once the UK main distributor and Access then revoked it...within 2 years the company went bust...

I've bought other Virus's from a variety of distributors and have never had a hardware problem. In my mind the Virus is incredibly well built - the best.
