pretty common problems...
The unbearably loud, monitor-killing sound has been dubbed "Satan's Saw" on the Amphea Virus mailing list. There's an entire thread there on it. Unfortunately, it's very common even on 1.0.9 and with or without VC.
I was a loyal Virus Kb owner, and I am now a very discouraged (now becoming angry) TI owner. Basically, no one should consider buying this synth yet; it's just not ready for real use. Perhaps 1.1 will change this, but I am not optimistic at this point -- along with most of the Virus community from what I can tell. 1.1 is late, but then that was a promise for the NAMM trade show (possibly made by the same marketing folks that announced the Virus almost year before it even shipped).
I expect that there will be a large number of owners that that will begin demanding to return their units for a refund if things don't improve drastically with another two months or so. It's probably the end of Access as a company if they don't pull it together before the summer.
