TI never worked for me!
 

I have had Virus TI for about 6 months now, but Virus Control mode has never worked for me. I get crackles, noises, distortion whenever i use the virus control. I tried every Update Access has released, none worked what so ever. I am beginning to think my virus is defect?

I have a macbook pro (2008)
and a Mac Pro (2009 Nehalem).

I tried all USB ports, switched usb-cables and so on.

Ive contacted access support, but always get the same answer "Unplug all cables, and press edit-arp button". I have done this million times already. And when i tell them this doesnt work, they seem to ignore my emails.

I really love my virus ti, it works great in standalone mode. But I bought virus ti so that i could integrate it with my Macs, for me Total Integration has been a Total Disaster.

Have you loaded 3.0.2.02?

I was using 2.7.5 and it worked fine just downloaded new OS3 yesterday and now it keeps getting the sync error in TI Control mode where you have to press stop and play to resync...

Yeah I've tried it with no luck. :(.

It seems like the are alot of people having the same problem, the TI OS is too unstable. Using USB v1.1 as a communication interface was a big mistake by Access. TI2 still use USB v1.1 it seems?

By the way guys what is the Bios Version of your TI ?

My TI Desktop has Bios version 1.03.

Can't speak for the latest beta code, but 2.7.5 is extremely stable for myself and a lot of other people.

Really? 3.0.2.02 that was released yesterday? I am also on a Mac Pro and it works flawlessly here so far.

What host are you using? And have you checked your buffer settings, and DAW prefs to make sure they are set proper?

My bios version is 1.03 as well. Is there even other versions?

Same here - 1.03.

2.7.5 just didn't show you when there was a sync error. do you know what this error means?

I do not...but its getting annoying its happening allot especially when switching patches

Did you try playing around with the Audio Buffer Size?

I did last night I increased it in Logic to 512 and still have same issue

I had a massive problem with mine, same as what you mentioned. i had to change the asio setting. the right sound card option wasnt selected. cant go to much into it. cos I don't really know.

sometimes when i first boot up i have to select the other sound card and apply then reselect the correct setting to reset it. this is cubase though, nothing to do with a fault with the virus.

I once had an indigo which was pretty cool at the time and did what it was supposed to do.
After a few years of live and plugins I thought it was time to get a proper synth again.I have just shelled out 1500 euro for a used polar thinking go big and proffessional and after the first innitial joy,I am starting to get slightly put off.
Firstly,but maybe thats my fault,I was expecting a lot more oomph soundwise.Was quite shocked to see the same old sounds from years ago,and effects are great but I want also good analog raw power sounds too,not a "woman smothered in perfume & makeup"
I will gladly dig arround and try the new waveforms and capabilities.
The real trouble is what nasty clicks and surprise noise burst and sudden darkness of all the leds are constantly happen when using vc in live.
Yesterday I tried logic and not even the demo song for the virus runs smoothly.
The timing and the arps are all over the place on my 2ghz macbook.
I had this feeling after using an mpc4000 for a few weeks,had to sell it, I dont like the feeling of spending a chunk of money for a product that buggy,I am starting to feel a slight sense of wasting money.
Especially if it doesnt justify its appearance production wise.
anyone dig my vibes?????
cheers

512 is high. I never go over 256, and am usually parked at 128.

Still running totally pop/crash free here with this OS. I think this one is a keeper for shizzzz.

Not really. The TI makes sounds that would make the Indigo's ass fall off... Wavetables, Grain tables, Formant tables, Hypersaw, distortions to die for, frequency shifter, ring shifter, tape delay..... Should I continue?

Presets are for wussies... Make some patches dude.

:)

In logic there's an option to change the process buffer range in the audio options (not on about buffer size in terms of samples), there should be three options small, medium and large. Try with all sizes including the small one, let us know if this works.

Process buffer range should be set to Small, always.

ok I will check that tonight thanks guys

Have you tried using a different DAW to see if its just a setting inside your own DAW, I think ableton has a full version 1 month trial. I feel for you because the VC is what skyrockets the virus into a league of its own.

I have been using the TI as my only audio interface for both audio and midi, and with VC, and it all works flawlessly. I have a unibody MacBook Pro running 10.5.6, Virus OS 2.7.5, and Ableton Live 7.15.

Mr. Ninja.

Give 3.0.2.02 a spin. It has much mojo.
