1.2.1 is OUT!!
 

It is here.

well vc went from being usable to not. for whatever reason there was a weird sound to the vc when i had it going as a vst, and when i did direct monitoring, it sounded fine again. timing wasn't terribly off but the effects for whatever reason couldn't be turned off and it sounded completely off.


edit : vc also drifts out of tune... and some times the timing will be completely off sometimes it wont. this doesn't happen with direct monitoring, only software monitoring, indicating an issue with vc itself and not he synth

have the version of vc itself ever been updated or its all part of the synth's os ?

I am assuming the VC has been updated also due to the direct monitoring feature added onto the VC.

still virus audio and midi drivers v2.6.2?

unfortunately you have to download again the 1,2,1revision 2 if you are a pc user. The previous 1.2.1 for pc was identical to the crappy 1.2 released early this morning. Access broke the record today. I wonder what they've been drinking. Anyway they ruined my day twice but now with revision 2 I'm satisfied.

so its running well now diy?

VC works great for me in Live, I actually don't have any issues to speak of other than the VC plugin crashed once earlier today.

Just downloaded and performed the update and it is Version 1.1.1 Beta again. The download file says it is 1.2.1 but after installing drivers it gets to software update and want's to update to 1.1.1 beta ?????? I think they have posted the wrong file up again.


Update- Just downloaded two more times and Firmware is still 1.1.1 Beta???? WTF

I'm sticking to the 1.2 (first posting) cause I like the PDC turned off, I can add delay to the analog outs easy peasy. I'll wait to see what people make of 1.2.1r2, ie. is it still good for analog out VC users.

For me, 1.2.1 is much worse than 1.1 beta. I've tried out VC in SX3 three times, in projects, that worked with 1.1 beta. The sound of the virus went awfully out of tune once (like it was synced to another sample-rate), the other two times the virus was playing before all other synths and vstis on my DAW.
The only plus of the Driver is so far the low latency over VC while playing live a few chords.

Try the 1.2.1r2 it sovled my problems. for the "live playing" it has the direct monitoring buttons.

Alright, downloaded the latest 1.2.1 tonight, instaled it, rebooted the Ti, went in to Live 5.2, started VC.

No satan saw like last time (1.1 beta) but arp still totaly out of sync! Like its got a sine wave lfo modulating the tempo, on all arp presets I tried.

Ti is of cource set to external sync, and the Ti is set to sync in Live prefs.

No other strange behavior so far, but its still useless in VC mode when using arps. I use arps a lot.. :?

Sleepwalker, have you contacted Access about this. I am having the same exact thing (though I haven't tried 1.2.1 yet) and have been working with them for the past couple of days via email. No resolution yet.

OK, ill do that!

From the Virus mailing list...

working great here with logic 7.2. On the project I am working on, I have about 6 virus parts, and at least 2 are arps. Not to mention the automation! :lol:

Sorry for all you other lads. Hopefully they will get it right for you guys soon! :D

How does the synth work in standalone mode now? Still hangs, crashes, bootup problems? Great to see access doing these updates more often. I might get a TI when the standalone mode also works well. :)

standalone is flawless for me

Do you have a desktop or keyboard? 1.21 os ?

desktop=yes, 1.21 also = yes


but it's been pretty perfect for me since 1.1.1


from what it seems, people who have the most problems have them with the keyboard or with the polar

Nice one Access! :D

I upgraded last week to 1.2.1 and VC no longer works with Sonar. It gets to the "loading patches, this may take a minute" part and then stops. Sonar will never finish this, and it eventually will crash.

It DID work before, and stand alone seems to be good and solid. Can anyone confirm 1.2.1 with sonar?


-----------shane

who still uses cakewalk products??!?!?!?


:P

djencode, have you seen the specs of the new producer 5 version of Sonar?

Nothing compares.

I use Cubase SX3 but am certainly going to try the Sonar 5 demo after seeing the specs a few days ago!

Ok, theyr helping me out now. If you use ableton Live, make shure plugin compensation in preferances is set to 256!! This removed VCs pops and clicks.

Arpeggiator is still mezzy. Presets with arpeggiators rarely give sound at all, or if they do, the tempo is wrong!

However I figured out leaving VC on for 10 minutes, everything worked fine! Reeboted live again, to see if that was the case, and it was!

i dunno man, logic pro 7 is a beast in it's own right, and the software it comes with, i don't really even need the TI :P j/k i love my ti and it sounds amazing song it is definitely an awesome addition to my studio
