I am ust the snow to. beta OS 3.0.1.12 make the same problems as OS 3.0.1.10...detecting a hub

OS 3.0.1.9 runs without a problem on the snow with live suite8. on a macbook and imac.

By beta versions are this problems normally. and it needs a little bit time to merge those problems out.

never change a running system

earlier versions didn't throw a root hub warning. the problem was there all the time. it is a problem with your setup, not the software.

randomly recurring noise
 

I'm running the latest version of logic 8 on a powermac dual 2.7 g5 with an apogee duet as my default audio interface. My snow has had the same strange bug since I moved to 3.0.1 and now with 3.0.12:
Randomly while playing it will catch on what sounds like noise lfo'd by a fast squaretooth wave. It goes away only when I use the panic function. I unplug the usb and plug it back in and still the behavior reappears. I restart my computer and this seems to fix it until the next random instance of it returns.
I haven't seen any mention of this so far in this bug thread.

3.12 works fine for me expect that USB3 locks up. (no sound) whichting outputs (3 > 3+1 > 3) sometimes brings it back, but often a full reboot is required. 3.09 and 3.06 did not have this problem (though they had the blank screens which now seems solved)

Atomiser Bug!
 

(Ti Desktop)

With 3.0.1.12, under atomiser, raising and lowering the atomiser count from 0 up to 16 (repeatedly) builds up a distortion with each increase/turn of the atomiser soft knob.

I'm not using the keyboard here - just running a signal into the inputs, choosing atomiser in an empty patch, making sure inputs L&R are chosen, and then I repeatedly increase and decrease the atomiser soft knob value. Nothing else is applied. Seems like a shut down/sleep is the only fix.

I've edited this post to state that this bug seems to be quite serious - at first I didn't think so but after messing around it looks like it's a pretty significant problem, ie, seriously distorting incoming audio. Also happens with programmed patches from existing banks.

Atomizer Cubase bug
 

Hi,

Update 3.01.12 has solved problems with using the vocoder and fx in TI with audio being sent from Cubase 4.5.2 via my audio interface, but when using Atomizer it seems to still be very buggy. I sometimes can get the Atomizer to work if I use it 1st thing after opening Cubase but as soon as I press play in Cubase (ie. stop then start again on transport) for the second time I totally lose the Atomizer features. I can still hear my audio going thru the Virus but Atomizer has left the building if I press any of the keys on my TI2.

Is anyone else having these issues when using Cubase and the Virus? Or does anyone have some suggestions? :confused:

TY.

Thanks Marc, I haven't yet, but will do so this week. Have another problem with Atomizer when sidechained in Albeton live too (stop on transport, and play again causes atomizer to stop working), so will cover both with a ticket.

i had this issue with 3.0.10. whatever combination i tried with USB connections, it thrived same warning. either it means that every USB connections on my computer are hubs (i doubt, dont know if it is possible, i have 4 connections on the back, and 4 on the front side), or something is wrong with virus software.
i have windows xp sp3

I can't get atomizer to do anything. Audio passes through OK, but when atomizer is activated, none of the midi note triggers do anything.

Interestingly, fx also do not work when atomizer is on, however i can get them to work just fine w/ incoming audio when atomizer is off.

running newest Virus OS and WinXP SP3.

Might have something to do with having 3USB outs selected - try setting it to 2.

So: Virus Control > Patch Utility (far right tab) > under 'USB Audio Mode' select "2 Outs" and see if it works now.

I had this issue pre Version 3 - having all USB outputs activated turns off an input or something. Have not tried Atomizer recently so not sure how it all works in Version 3.

the USB topology is reported by the OS (in this case windows). if what our software sees is not accurate is was reported in a wrong fashion. "hub" in this case refers to a root hub which is something different than an external hub as you might know. it essentially means that the USB port you connect to shares some resources with another USB port. only if the ports' demand in bandwidth exceeds what's to their disposal you will run into a problem. the trick with root hubs (if you cannot avoid going through one) is to balance the load. a USB mouse in combination with the TI is probably not a problem. a USB hard drive and a TI on the same root hub is potentially asking for trouble.

hope that explains things better

best, marc

I'll definitely try that. I should mention I'm using Cubase Studio 5, and processing everything through the analog ins/outs.

oh, my mistake. i confound the usb ports after convert my equipment. :mrgreen:

Just wanted to drop another note about Atomizer: Got it working last night... doing the exact same thing I was doing the night previous when it wasn't working. :rolleyes:

I did notice that sometimes I'd hit play on my DAW (Cubase Studio 5) and Atomizer wouldn't work... you had to stop it and jog back to where the audio was and hit play again. Snow would sync up or whatever and let the atomizer work. Beats me, I'm just glad I got to try it out, should be very fun for glitch-editing instrumental bridges/fills and stuff. wee!

pops, crackles and snaps
 

hey, i've started to experience snaps pops and crackles now after updated to 3.12.. vc says all the time that it's lost sync and i can't do anything to help it out. using 1024 buffer as i'm using virus powercore too.. tried all other buffers but it got worse..

i've got 4-7 instances of virus poco and ti polar but i can't use ti at all.. is it the powercore platform which fucks it up?

also uad-1's up on my system. running 10.5.6 on 2.7 dual ppc and logic 7

i bought logic 8 but on this ppc system the screen is just sooooo slow that i'm better off writing stuff at 7.

quite often the virus poco crashes if i'm using it with ti.. just click on anywhere at virus poco screen and off you go ..

i'll try it with external outputs to my mixer and will report if it gets any better..

cheers,
- jani
