[unsolved] weird midi problem
 

Hi guys

Please accept my apologies if this has been covered before, I just couldn't figure out what to even search for regarding this issue :)

Just to kick things off, I bought my TI desktop about 2 years ago and it has been working without a hitch once I got it configured. Running 3 usb outs and 3 analog outs and not a single issue.

However after one of the updates (not sure which one) a weird thing started happening.
Basically imagine you have 2 midi notes say 1/4 bar length each right next to each other. The sustain on the amp envelope is cranked up all the way with the attack all the way down.
The problem is that instead of the note transition going smoothly, it sounds like there is a pause between notes??
Usually the problem goes away after restarting cubase (v5.5.1), but here's the really weird thing: the problem comes back as soon as I display virus control or open the midi part in the piano roll.

Has anyone else encountered this before?

I have checked just about everything, updated all the drivers, even reformatted my pc (running windows7 x64) and reinstalled everything again, the problem is still there.

Please help cos this is driving me up the wall :(

you've probably tried it by now but just in case you haven't:
Try resetting the Virus (hold down Arp Edit while plugging in the power cable, or just hold Arp Edit while Virus in in Sleep mode). Its fixed a few weird glitches for me in the past.

Do you have midi cables plugged in as well as your usb cable? I generally program sound through usb then switch to midi playing my notes off. Having both plugged in makes the virus go crazy.
