Main improvement is of course the USB interface. It works quite good these days and is supposedly epic.

I have the C myself.

The TI has 64 preset patterns and one user-programmable slot, which can be saved on a per-patch basis. It's much easier to program/edit an arp pattern using the Virus Control software than it is from the Virus' front panel IMO. My only complaint with the arp editor is that you can't copy an arp preset to the user slot for editing, nor can you see a graphical representation of the pattern in the GUI for the preset patterns - that's a big fail IMO.

You can send the arp to MIDI Out to control other synths, but I don't recall, does the Virus C had that option as well? Also, as of a few updates ago, you can use the arp as a modulation source to control any of the destination parameters in the mod matrix - that's a VERY cool feature. You randomizable step, velocity, and length parameter buttons for the user arp pattern.

So you can create multiple unique appegiator presets -- just 1 per patch? I guess if you had 2 presets for one patch then you'd just have to store the patch twice.

I'm looking to buy the TI, then import my Virus C patches, then sell my Virus C.

Not sure that I'm following you, so just to clarify, for each patch, you have the option to use one of 64 preset arp patterns OR to create your own pattern in the user slot. If you want to have two synth patches with different variations of the arp pattern, then, yes, you would have to save them as two separate patches.

FYI - you can download the Virus C banks right from the Access website. The cool thing about the TI is that it can read patches directly from your hard drive without having to actually import them into the Virus itself, as long as you are connected via USB and using the Virus Control software. I literally have 10s of thousands of patches in dozens of banks on my HD and I can call them up instantaneously using the software. If you plan on using the Virus without the software interface (e.g., for live use), then you'd want to import them to the Virus' onboard memory.

I have virus C and the Ti also. i love those synths. in the virus Ti you can just make you own arpeggiator patterns. thats cool. but If I have to choose between C vs Ti ill choose C. it sounds different, not so digital as the Ti synth.

Wow I thought the TI was the same basic "sound". I might have to audition a TI in a store before I buy.

no, it has different sound, especially in the mid tones.

My understanding is that the synth engine was changed in the C-series, but the TI-series' synth engine was based on the earlier B-series' engine. Well, that's what I've read repeatedly on many forums, but we all know how the misinformation wheel turns.

They have the same basic sound. But the TI-series have new converters.
