do u think its worth it?

Yeah, that NI Massive is probably one of the best souding softsynths ive heard. Deffinately sounding closer to a virus that other vst's ive come across before. The filter on it is just lush. As for the TI, im not sure the pricetag warrents a buy at the moment, if you price it up against the C, its only the hyper saw and extra polyphony that really swings the deal, so i would go and demo them somewhere. You have to make sure its something that you need in your setup, because if your already really competant using a softsynth that gets similar results, you will find yourself going back it for quick inspiration and leave the virus gaining dust.

Speaking from experience, NI massive is bloody good, the routing possiblities rock and are really transparent and intuitive. I have minimal experience with the TI but do like the sound, i also think it is over priced.

There are plenty of hardware synths out there that sound fantastic, why not get a second hand NORD and Massive for less money and have the best of both worlds?

IMO patch surfing and reputation are over-rated, learning how to program a synth is your best answer, not throwing money at it... it very rarely works, unless you actually want to sound like everybody else.

Amen.

Learn how to program a synth and you'll get interesting and original sounds out of everything.

You can buy choice, but you can't buy originality.

sound advice (no pun intended) :cheese:

Massive is an awesome synth but is very cpu hungry. Its one synth i generally always bounce down to audio. Obviously like any synth whether hardware or software it has a different character to the virus but if think its pretty much on a par with the virus although i havnt tried the ti version. For the price of a TI you could get hold of a second hand virus c of ebay, get massive aswell and still have plenty of change for somethin else.
