Yeah, I'm holding out for one since there is no other synth I really want on the market right now. I have to limit myself to only a few select synths. The sad thing is my prog metal band is writing material right now and I'm in on the writing a lot. That Virust TI would be getting A LOT of use right now since some of the stuff have an electronic edge. By the time it comes out the band will have written all it's music gone into the studio and recorded it most likely. Then it will be released and I will have no immediate use for it. The band was looking to expand in styles and the TI would've been perfect for it so I ordered it, now when I et it I'll plunk around on it and everything, but it'll be 2 years before I can even use the thing on the road and wrtie music with it for my band. It's a shame.
I could go on and onout the lack of communication....I mean have a section on the site updated once a week...even if it just says beta testing continued today, but some bugs have been resolved. Access may care some about their customers, but updating on progress will not make them look like fools. I think they more care about their reputation as a synth leader. If they truly cared about the customer they would have a weekly journal or something on the site, but what it seems they care about their reputation for releasing great synths to me. They're doing this testing and everything mostly for themselves. I cold be wrong, but that's how i feel.
By the way, what the hell was the point have exhibiting Virus TI's at the remix hotel. Why did they do this if it wouldn't be released for a while yet. You would assume if they have their very own exhibitation it would be released soon after. So, why did they have this? And the fact that no one there had any information about anything.......weird
It makes me sad every time an online store or somethign gets changed. The problem is when that month finally nears like June I get all excited at the possibility that it will be released and then it comes and goes with nothing and then a new month ETA is anounced from stores......that really is wear and tear. It's almost like being bipolar......
What needs to happen is every site needs to take the TI down and Access should stop making little announcements like Frankfurt and remix hotel and then out of sight out of mind until later.
