Very laggy UI on TI VST with x64
 

Hey there,

I have an Intel E6400 CPU + Intel D965 motherboard + 8gb RAM.

I just bought the Virus TI 61-key model yesterday and am beginning to play around. Really looking forward to getting the TI stuff up and running... but there's one BIG BIG BIG problem.

I understand I am running beta firmware and I will downgrade to a stable OS if needed.... but the TI VST is *incredibly* slow. It feels like the UI is updating at 2-3 FPS... tab changes generally occur in two frames of animation, spaced about a second apart. All my clicks take a noticeable amount of time to register.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, even with Direct Monitoring enabled, there is a very noticeable lag on key presses, both on the TI keyboard itself and through my other MIDI controller.

Also, when I quit my sequencer, I can't get any sound to come out of the Virus unless I reboot it. :-(

Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

EDIT: I should have mentioned that I am running Win7 x64 and was using the 32-bit builds of both FLStudio and Cubase. This problem does not seem to exist when using Cubase5 x64 with the Virus TI VST3 x64 plugin.

My apologies if this is posted elsewhere, but I did try searching and didn't see anything similar.

yeah, that's just how it is.

Good idea to always close the project down, then quit the sequencer. What DAW are you using? Also I really dont think you should be getting latency like that, mine runs fine. and I'm on a 2.3ghz quad core, 4gb ram, xp 32bit w/ Ultralite MK3 on 512 buffer and it feels fine usually. I do notice that if you tab in and out of Cubase 5 a few times, the Virus can start to bug out - pitching notes incorrectly, lagging a bit and generally stuffing up. When it does I just save the project and do a reboot of synth and OS, and its fine again.

The lag with x64 plugin is a common bug. VST3 version of it seems to run faster than VST2.4 on my computer.

Ok, hopefully it will be fixed on release. I don't recall seeing a VST3 plugin in Cubase but I will check again.

Also, with both Cubase5 (x32, VST2) and FLStudio, if I load up the TI plugin and then shut down the sequencer, my TI is not usable and I have to reboot it. What's up with that?

You are right the VST3 feels a bit smoother.

EDIT: Just tested Cubase5 x64 with Virus TI VST x64 and it is much, much smoother. I guess I know what I have to use now. Also, the synth now operates normally when I quit.

Try closing the project first before quitting, and see if it occurs.

Figured it out, I have to disable MIDI on the "Virus Synth" midi device in order to get control again
