The TI snow wasn't so impressive in my opinion. But this looks like lots of fun for us current TI owners. Its getting released in the next OS release. Nice 1 Access!

Thats like saying "Why did they put keys on this keyboard when there are cheaper ones with keys on them already?"

Keys are required to play the instrument.
Turning a $2,000+ into an effects unit that can do what can already be done with FREE VST's (and more efficiently) seems a little redundant to me and totally unnecessary. I'd like to see more innovation on Access's part. The fact that you have to enter a separate mode which disables the normal synthesizer functions to use the Atomizer is also a set back in my opinion.
And honestly, I think the keys on the Virus could be improved... and some models DON'T have keys (Desktop, Snow)... you know why? Because it is in fact cheaper to hook up a cheap keyboard/midi controller and will save you money as opposed to the buying the full keyboard Ti. You fail. Try again.

Actually lots of people tend to mix in relatively small rooms and dont have space for hundreds of large keyboards which I think is actually another major reason we have modules but thats a bit off topic tbh.VanEck wrote:you know why?

But whats with your moaning attitude man... You seem to missing my point that this is total bonus stuff for TI owners. I probabbly will never do anything productive with this but I am happy that Access are going beyond the standard synth spec and giving us more stuff even if it aint as good as these amazing free vsts you speak off.

in that case making a $2,000+ synth that can do what can already be done with FREE VST's (and more efficiently) in the first place must seem utterly unfathomable to you.VanEck wrote:Turning a $2,000+ into an effects unit that can do what can already be done with FREE VST's (and more efficiently) seems a little redundant to me and totally unnecessary.
as it is, i think its about time some of the hardware manufacturers started to get freaky with FSU effects.
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

That is certainly unfathomable to me, because there is not a single Free VSTi out there that compares to the functionality, sound quality, and power of my Virus Ti. That machine is worth every penny I've paid for it.whyterabbyt wrote:in that case making a $2,000+ synth that can do what can already be done with FREE VST's (and more efficiently) in the first place must seem utterly unfathomable to you.
