Access Virus TI2 vs Access Virus C

I own an Access Virus C and it's my favorite synth BY FAR! My question is whether the Access Virus TI2 is much different. Will this synth open up a whole new world of sounds for me? You think it would be worth the purchase for me?
(I also own a Novation Nova, Korg 01/W, Emu Turbo XL rack.) |

It's different but not different enough. Invest in monitors, a sound card, or something else you probably need that isn't really that fun that you should have bought instead of all those synths. :p
Anyways, some will disagree but the virus c, and the ti2 sound more or less the same, and as a lot of people will tell you the thing that makes the virus is the effects which are on your computer anyways, and a bit more filter options.
You'll get $700 for your virus c, which is a generous estimate really, and then to buy a ti2 desktop you have to shell out $1,700 if you're buying it used, more if you're buying it new. Just don't do it.
If you're looking for a synth the korg Ms 2000 is pretty cool, just do some research there are many well forgotten synths that are excellent. |

| Is there a plug-in only version of the Access Virus TI, or do you need the hardware as well?. |

If you got the money, why not? :D
Check the logs, the TI models get updated everytime with new features for free, it's hard to keep track :)
There are sounds that you won't be able to do with a Virus C ofcourse.
I'm personally staying at the TI1, didn't decide to upgrade to the TI2. I think I'll buy a vintage analog synth like a Jupiter :p |

| Can the Virus TI2 import Virus C sounds? |

Hey that Korg Ms 2000 sounds pretty cool for trance! I checked out a few demos on YouTube including a sample and hold video. Seems pretty inexpensive too and there's a few for sale.
Any other recommendations? |

this is not the best advice imo. i had money and therefore bought everything i wanted. it totally killed my creativity. now that ive sold it all things start to come back. |

So I could sell my Virus C and get a TI2 then without losing my patches?
That's good to know.
I wish Guitar Center had a Virus TI2 demo. Maybe West LA Music has one. |

| I'd keep the C and get a Nord Rack 2X as well. The Ti won't really give you anything new apart from the VST integration aspect, which I found fiddly anyway. |

| I've checked out the Nord synths a few times and was not impressed. It just sounded straight-up-the-middle and basic. |

Well, the Virus TI has improved my creativity. No more need for 20+ VSTi's. :D The effects are also so good, they are actually useable in the mix, I don't have to search for a good FX, it's all there :) |
