Virus TI2 pricing....

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Digital village have them listed for £2324.00

Thats £700 more than the original TI.

Access used to bring new products to the market for roughly £50-100 more than the previous model. So whats the extra £700 all about.....

I'd like to buy the TI2.....but the price increase is too much for me (I think)

Comments?

which extra GBP700? we didn't increase the price.

I am guessing it's because of a huge secret ram chip on-board that Access is going to tell us about in 6 months...

It's the Access way. They release and then stretch out the goodness by unveiling the potential along the way. This new TI MKII is SURE to have tons of features that the original TI does not have. I cannot concieve of why they would go through all the trouble of this release without holding back some super secrets goodies under the hood.

I'd pay the extra for user sample memory on-board/ or some other ingenious "not yet told about" feature...

Or maybe I'm wrong... but I suspect otherwise.

Access Virus TI2 Desktop Synthesizer £1,774.28
Access Virus TI2 Keyboard Synthesizer £2,324.63
Access Virus TI2 Polar Synthesizer £2,324.63

= £703.87 difference between TI-kb and Polar and the new TI2 variants. They haven't dropped the prices of their TI mk1 range yet.

DV247 (Digital Village) is the UK distributor for Access Music.

I guess they're price-fixing the pre-order aspect.

If those are anywhere near the real prices, I'm out of the bidding.

i need to follow this one up once i'm back in the office. let me just add that DV is not our distributor (we distribute directly to various dealers) and we did not increase the price worldwide but adjusted exchange rates (which in effect does result in a _cheaper_ price in the US for instance).

best, marc

Marc, if there are any secret features on the new TI2, now is the time to tell or secretly PM me before I blow some extra money off on a Blofeld.

Hi!
This is me second Ti! I had to send first one because of money need but I've missed it sooo much.

Whatever,
I ordered a ti|2 desktop from thomann , 1599 euros.

I hope it doesn't take to much to arrive!

greetings

I think the TI mk1 looks better. Bigger logo and wood that covers the entire sides... The mk1 Polar looked good with the wood under the keys... I figured the mk2 would at least have firewire instead of USB.

[Cantankerous]

I don't see a way to rackmount the Ti2 desktop either which is how I have, and need my current Ti to be.

Why would firewire be better? Firewire transmits at 400mbps but USB2.0 can go at 480MBPS..
