TI Snow or TI2 Desktop??

Hi everyone.

I would like to buy a Virus, but im not sure which one i should buy.
Theres a big difference between the price of TI Snow and TI2 Desktop, and im wondering what the difference between the 2 synthesizers are....?
I can see that the Snow has 512 RAM, and TI2 Desktop has 1024 RAM, so that tells alot of the core in it.
- But, how much does that mean for a producer? Does the snow contains the same "machine" as the Desktop??

Im just wondering if i would get sad by buying a Snow (because of the price), if the Desktop can do alot more powerful stuff...
Cuz then i would love to pay a little more, for a machine that can do alot more power ;)

- Can anyone tell me the exact differences between these 2 machines, so i can decide what to buy??

PS. Im an FL Studio user, mayby there's something you guys can tell me about that, like delay, etc...

Thanks in advance!

Same sound, but less of everything else

The Snow has the same sound engine as the Desktop but is limited in the following ways:

-- Maximum polyphony for the Snow is only half that of the Desktop (50 vs. 100)

-- Four parts in a multi for the Snow vs. 16 for the Desktop

-- Single stereo output for the Snow vs. 3 stereo outs for the Desktop

-- Desktop has more knobs for faster programming and more real time control when playing.

-- Snow has no MIDI THRU

It's up to you to decide how important those limitations are to YOU.

Desktop definitely, having all those knobs at hand makes all the difference for me.

If you can get the CASH, then definitely get the Desktop.....

I encountered the same problem when i was first deciding but what really made me choose the Desktop model was that i know if i didn't spend a little bit more to get the desktop i was never going to be happy...

I had my eye on that thing from day one.

Plus you can rack mount it also so when the day comes that you need a Studio, you will know that it will fit nicely.

I own the Snow, but agree 100% with Ray.

The only reason to get a Snow over a desktop is the price.

Ti Snow or TI 2 Desktop / TI 2 61Key Keyboard

I have the TI 2 61Key Keyboard
The SNOW is a very good choice, but the TI 2 Desktop has alot more versatility for the xtra $
Like everyone says, if it's just simple patches, adjustments, there's not a better synth out there than the SNOW
You will in time second guess yourself for not buying the TI 2 unit, believe me you will become dissatisfied with unhappiness to follow
I made the decision to buy the TI 2 61Key, i knew i had to have the TI 2 and i'm glad i made that choice because it's an awesome Synth!!!!
Even though i could'nt afford it,i financed it last Xmas 2010 & will be paid for in June 2010.
Just get the TI 2 unit.............you'll be happy you did! 8)

The desire will never end ...

I got a Ti2 Keyboard as well ... but now I spend most of my days obessing about getting a Polar to put on the upper teir keyboard stand.

Why? Because it looks nice and 2 is better than 1 and I'm an ungrateful spoilt b*stard. :thumbsup:

Glad I got the 61 keys though ... I'm actually having 'piano lessons' again at the moment, so it is great to have the full octaves.

The keys on the 61 feel awesome too, best on any synth I've tried. It was a tough call going for the smaller Polar instead of the 61 this time....

RE: TI Snow or TI2 Desktop??

If you only work in a studio, you need no analog multi-outputs and you can freeze TI tracks when you use lots of them (i.e. polyphony and processor power not critical issues), definitely save the money and buy a Snow. The results in your music will be virtually identical to a TI/TI2. In any other case, the TI/TI2 is a better choice.
