Is buying a second hand Virus Ti a wise move?

[Arcvidean]

I heard that when they were first released there were not only problems with the software, now presumably fixed, but also with the hardware. Is this the case and could I run into problems buying S/H?

Can anyone compare a Korg Radias, haven't heard one yet, with a Virus C in terms of sonic versatility, as I would be spending nearly as much for a S/H Virus C as a new Radias if I didn't go for a Ti.

Thanks in advance

Both generally give you a very different sound. They sound different, they don't even sound similar, so there's not much to "compare". Virus TI has more synthesis features, it's more versatile as far as what kinds of sounds it can produce and there's no doubt about it. But that's not the main thing you should check. I like the Virus's sound, but I like the Radias's sound more. Now if only I could afford it.

A couple of Radias demos: filters, sweep, airy pads
