My message to Access is this: Dump the TI aspect for the time being....and get all standalone issues ironed out first. Only when the Virus is running 95% stable should you then introduce the other 101 confounding variables. Your driving your customer base insane. No one knows whats causing the problems...is it software? is it hardware? is it my soundcard? is it my computer? is it my sequencer? FFS there was a time when you switched a synth on, spent 2 mins making a kick ass fat fucking analog sound and laid some huge tracks. WTF is going wrong with music technology????????? Why the hell are we spending ever increasing amounts of time getting gear to work when that time should be spent on the creative process???
Totally Insane
Cheers

Couldn't have agreed more!
The reason why I got into this synthesizer was its unique effects section:
- 16 parts, each with its own dedicated reverb and delay section!
Thats it, and I paid ?1550 for this to work.
What did I get....
- 3 parts in standard midi operation, though working perfectly and flawlessly, but that's not what I paid for at all.
The really frustrating aspect is that the plugin is better on some features, and the standard midi with cables is better on something else....
This is just terrible, and with the new 1.1.1 things is only 3-4% better in my case...now what the hell is that all about, me being reporting exact problems to Access since December last year!!
This feels like a dead end street, nothing to gain at all.
I think I have to return this synthesizer, and get a NL3 instead for now.
I will most likely get the TI at a later stage, if those specific issues get straightened out all together!  |
im assuming neither of you have tried running KORE. now you want to talk about lemons, there is king lemon. out of the box the buttons were cheap, the job wheel was crooked, the only thing that was nice about its construction is the touch sensitive knobs. the display has streaks on it etc. i load the thing up, use it as an audio card (this device requires usb 2.0 so it's already got more bandwith than the TI) and with 2 synths i get crackles and pops, just having it plugged in with nothing else running it takes 30% of my cpu, i set assignments and they bugger up and glitch. and this is all in standalone mode. i don't dare try it in a sequencer.
now compared to that my TI has been great. standalone works without a hitch for me apart from mabye a arp drift that im not noticing or not to caring about since i usually turn off arp and program the rhythms myself. i've driven the piss outta this thing ( 2 fully stacked hypersaws, slave mode 3rd osc, 8 unison with full detune, delay, phaser, chorus, distortion, eq, and analog boost all driving, analog mode 4 pole filter and high pass filter going, pressing like every key i could put my fingers on all at once. ) no clicks , no pops, no crackling, no dropouts, no crashes. everything is perfect.
in VC depending on the sequencer they have their unique bugs. a non fully updated cubase sx 3 has some issues with switching patches and modifying sounds. a non fully updated ableton live 5 has issues with the occasional crackle and pop. if i try to make the latency higher to compensate, it goes crazy on me. kore is perfect just the lag is through the roof.
so all in all, i mostly use the virus standalone anyhow, and it works perfect for me in that regard since i basically haven't left it alone all week.
