Actually Access Virus TI line is pretty ****ing "WOW"!!!
At least when compared to the Virus classic and the Virus C.

Clavia Nord modular and modular G2X are a hell of a lot more than just repackaged Nord Lead. Too bad Tek isn't here to give you a well deserved spanking.

Roland V-Synth is just amazing - period. I can't use one to it's full potential because of my visual disability. But if it had a less 'visual' interface I'd get one right now.

DSI Evolver is pretty impressive too. I was simply blown away with all the demos. Sounds bigger and more advanced than any mono synth I've ever used. THe Poly Evolver is indeed overpriced and not worth the money but the Evolver keyboard and desktop are definitely on my wanted list.

There are a lot of "wows". I'm just fed up with all the teasing and waiting.

Just got an e-mail from Access support. They claim that they are expecting TIs to ship at the end of the month. If it's not here on september 1st, I'm pulling the plug. They can tell their stories about TIs "coming soon" to someone else. I've had it.

Waldorf are indeed continuing with some of their product line. They have announced the release of some new synth for the NAMM 2007 but there are no details of any sort. Will just have to wait.

So here you go. There are some good synths. Expensive may be. In some cases even terribly overpriced but that's always been this way.

BTW, Is that Korg you're waiting for *just a controller(? Because if it is there isn't much to be amazed/disapointed about. The software M1 LE that it ships with isn't worth the big wait. For the price you can get a 61-key CME UF series controller and a Korg Legacy collection pack.

I like CME. BOught one for my setup in the office. Feels just like the DX7. Way way way better quality KB than M-Audio stuff. Great bang for the buck.

cheers,
