IC. Thanks

Same here. Bad. Very Bad. Back to 1.0.9 for me.

Yeah thats what they told me too.
Now its basically OSX 10.4.6 or the highway...
Ahhhhh well...
D

clicks here too. and hung notes in exactly the same places of the project as before. at least in vc mode.

arp seems to play more precisely, but the virus sounds as if put through a cubase's grungelizer.

not getting back to hotfix until exporting a project. think I might try 1.08 too. never did that.

I'm really sorry to hear the bad news guys!

So many people were so hopeful for 1.1 as well. :cry:

If the amphea list and my experience is anything to go by - 1.1.1 seems to have sorted out nealy all issues for alot of people...

Wierd that some are getting major issues when its stand-alone though.

One thing they may help - pwer off and use arp-exit to power it on again. In theiry this shouldnt do much a reset does seem to be recommended after the OS update.

Personally I think it might be a good idea for Access to....

Concentrate on getting the Virus D up and running 100% in standalone mode and to make sure that all the powerful synth engine features can be accessed via the hardware. I know this might seem like a step backwards...but really, they need to make sure the Virus is 100% operational in 'basic mode'. I find it odd how people are having problems in standalone mode.....it suggests to me that its so fucking buggy that it might be fundementally flawed. A hardware fault you say....but surely digital components either work or they fail? If a component had failed you'd probably know about it....I cant see how these intermittent issues occur :(

Then.....

For those who wish to persevere with the TI aspect....then perhaps Access could just carry on releasing OS updates...and perhaps over time they will get things fixed. My only concern is that computers, configurations, hardware is always changing....and I sometimes feel (as the TI OS saga has alluded) that its a battle that can never be won.

I used to play a computer game called Populus 3.....billiant Windows 98 game! So you can imagine my disapointment when I tried to install it on XP......the fucker wouldnt work. This highlights my final point......the USP is the TI aspect....but christ....there will come a time when it wont be updated and hence you'll no longer be able to run it on your lastest DAW. Does anyone here feel weary of this? That alot of the TI's features may, at some point, no longer be accessed unless you have a compatitible computer?

Why doesnt Access design and build they're own hardware computing interface that 100% works with the TI?

DS

DS - Yes - and not just with the TI either - my console (mixer+audio interface) as well.

At least everything else with a USB interface on it is just needs a stanard USB midi or USB hard drive driver...

Yep, totally agree. In retrospect, this is what they should've done from the start.

I know nothing about Access as a company, and I've never been able to find out anything from their website. But the concern is that with all of these woes, this TI fiasco could bankrupt the company.

One thing I still dont get with many of the TI users - who the hell buys a synth purely on integration functionality?

Do people not choose a synth for the sounds they can create with it?

For me sound is by far #1, and yes convenience of editing/tweaking/patch management etc is important (hence my lack of vintage gear), but still unless I *really* like the sound, then an expensive synth is a no go...

Maybe thats why I have never been that upset about TI problems - a Virus D was all I wanted anyway. And actually, I wish the TI had carried over the lost C features - internal bus particularly and the slighly more flexible fx out routing.

Also I guess they way I tend to use synths in my studio is closer to the way many people use them live than the way many seem to use them in a studio, and so the TI aspect can actually be more of a hinderance than a help.

If Im honest - I prefer the Korg radias approach - excellent flexibility of control MIDI and USB and a good MIDI only editor.
