Maybe it's time for one of the big Japanese companies to buy Access, or at least some of their technologies and perhaps hire some of their people. Although I am unaware of them doing anything similar, I imagine Yamaha could fix/finish the TI and bring some quality control to the equation. The TI is a great idea and certainly sounds better (to me) than any Japanese synth I've played lately.
It just appears as though Access bit off more than they could chew with the TI. Heck, a 16-part multitimbral synth with dedicated effects hasn't been done, even without the whole VC angle. These are really smart people to have gotten as far as they have with this project - it'll be interesting to whether or not they can finish it.
A TI that worked as advertised would completely blow the doors off of everything else on the market. I wish them well.
