I have now been using the TI Desktop for about 5 years.
I love it, and find it very useful in my mainly software setup. I basically just use Ableton and my Virus now, with a few VST's.
In my projects, I will use all channels I possibly can with the Virus, which always stuns me how well it handles the task.
The issue I have regularly tho, is when I changed from one virus channel to the next, the hardware rotary encoders are all out of sync.
If the hardware had endless rotary encoders, this issue would not occur.
I would think for a hardware synth that has multiple simultaneous instrument channels as on of its major attractions,
endless rotary encoders would be a good choice.
There would be no need to have endless encoders with flashy lights either, as we some on some controllers. They just look tacky.
I love my Virus, and this is my only suggestion.
It is not a complaint as it is not really that big a deal...
It is just something that would make it even better for me....
