The notion that Access is somehow stretching out the release strikes me as extremely unlikely. They discontinued almost their entire line! They've been sitting there for months with no hardware to sell but the Virus Classic! For however much we're waiting for release, guaranteed they're dying for it.

zZounds has been useless as a source of release dates. For months, they simply moved it back one week every week. I did notice awhile ago they moved I think the desktop to end of april but kept the keyboard and polar at a march date, so it's remotely possible this date reflects the expected second batch because the initial shipment is sold out, but of course that's just idle speculation. I'm not claiming the TI is coming soon but I wouldn't place too much stock in what zZounds posts.

I'm in a dillema...
Might get a Vsynth XT instead and get a TI when it will have either usb2 or firewire!

All these delays don't make me feel too confident about the stability of the product. Buying a buggy 80$ product is a bit frustrating, so when spending more than 3000$ for a synth, it better be ROCK SOLID!

The v-synth is a mad mangler. By the time it comes out, the TI might be out. Pretty much a waiting game with both of those.

I am in the same type of situation. i am looking at the spectralis though instead. And will probably pick up TI later. Dont know what I am going to do though. I have store credit that is burning a hole in my pocket waiting for the damn TI.

Another problem is, I have no synth to fill the void. I had to send my V back for a power supply shortage. They had none to replace it at the time, so I am back to where I started. All vritual, with no hardwaRE.

Earlier in this thread, I posted an email response from ACCESS themselves. A soon as I saw various sites posting that late April date, I wrote them. They immediately responded that they are still shipping the Virus TI line within the first couple of weeks of March. This was great news because I prepaid for mine and have been assured of getting one out of their first shipment. woooo hoooo

Without backtracking through this thread - did they specify what year that would be?

Hehehe, horrible joke. Sorry guys.

Steve,
You Bastard. I am going nuts over what to do. I am waiting for reviews on the spectralis. By the time that happens, the TI will most likely be out. So, it prolly going to be the TI.
Considering the Nord 3 is being discontinued, which means a new version is coming hopefully at Musikmesse this year (April '05) <--this is just speculation BTW.

the 'glass half full' side of me believes this.
the 'glass half empty' side of me says "go take back your deposit and buy one of the cheap kc's going around at the moment".
