Expected TI shipping

What could possibly delay the release for North America?

Oh boy if this is so my blood pressure is going to start to rise!

Patriot Act man ! They apparently found some tiny people hidding in the cases of the TI, trying to enter America.

Same here. I cancelled my pre-order and am going to wait for a couple of months also. Going to wait and see if the hype is worth it, or is just a C on steroids!
Will also give a chance to see what Clavia next product is at MusikMesse on April 2. You know if the production would have been on time, this probably wouldnt have happened. But, that is life. . . . . . . . .

DS,
How was the nord? Programming heaven b/c everything is laid out in front of you? What made you decide to get that?

My interest in the N2 started back in summer 2000. I went into a music shop and had a play around on some keyboards......well the N2 was the first synth I ever touched/heard in the flesh. Since then Ive always wanted to get one. The truth is...im a little sick of waiting for synths to be released....and right now i have very itchy fingers. The Virus TI will be a nice synth sure......but I feel uneasy buying into the first couple of batches.

The N2X is a very nice synth. I like it for a number of reasons. Firstly, in my opinion it has the most satisfying unprocessed sound of any VA....and second....its quite a simple synth. Dont get me wrong....its very powerful in a versatile sense......but the truth is....sometimes when a synth is bristling with 101 features it becomes a headfuck. With the N2 you can make very good, useable sounds within a minute or two. With the Virus it def takes longer.....partly because your always tweaking the 101 available paramters lol.

Right now, I just need a versatile, simple polyphonic synth. As I say...the Virus Ti will be an end of summer purchase (by which time any problems will hopefully have been identified). Best of both worlds.

When all you fockers get it, be sure to post some mp3's. can't wait to hear what i actually sounds like with some patch programming time put into it. <----- This better be done on the day it arrives at your doorstep too. Don't forget about us wanks who got tired of waiting.

well i am one of the few that choose to remain in TI purgatory....

the access marketing engine has consumed me and i am waiting patiently to pay my $$$ to keep the access snowball rolling.

regardless of all the downfalls many have already identified on this board, the TI will certainly be one beast of a VA. only problem is, i'm not sure i really care anymore.....

...DS will remember that when i first joined this board I had sold shares with the intention to purchase a nord lead 3 - and that very night access posted the initial press releases for the TI range and basically RUINED MY LIFE. couldve had a lead 3 literally months ago - instead i continue to chase the carrot on a stick that is the TI....

i really have given up. i keep hearing all sorts of info regarding the release but i let it all go over my head. yes, these are the words of one defeated moderator.

cmon access - throw a dog a bone.... please, no later than april!!!!

Damn Blay, and you were one of the most positive at the beginning, telling me to stop giving access a hard time and let them sort it out How the mightly have fallen
