OS 3.0 not working

hth, marc

I had this same problem last night. After pulling the power on the Virus, it came back on and the audio worked. Funny thing is... No matter what soundcard I routed my audio to, when VC was open prior to powering down the Virus, I could get no audio out of ANY of my interfaces. On g5 dual 2.0, Ableton 7, VC 0S.3.

Having very similar problems with not being able to get any sound when loading a project with a virus in Cubase 4.5.2. If I start a new project and then loads the virus, it usually works ok but not if I am trying to open an existing one.

Same problems: no sound getting out at all for any instrument (VSTi) and VC stating (at times) connection lost with audio driver.

Sometimes it's actually possible to play the project (start with spacebar), but no reactions to midi keyboard input is made.

Using PC with XP 32-bit, 3 Gb ram.

as I said before I have downgraded to 2.7.5 and this audio problem still persists .. so its clearly a serious problem. I have taken a week off work on holiday and was hoping to spend alot of time in my studio working on tracks .. now im spending the time trying to find the solution to this problem .. I'm pissed to say the least. Has anyone actually had this problem and reverted it on a mac using logic ... anyone !

Can I post troubles I'm having with my Yamaha Motif XS out here?
I spend half my time troubleshooting *sigh*

Just installed beta OS 3.0 to try it out and I have to say this release is SCARY.

Before anyone blows up at me, I have already reported these problems to Access support (via their webpage form).

So here's what I spent most of today doing:
After installing the new OS software and firmware I loaded up Cubase (SX 3.1.1), created a new project and inserted an instance of Virus TI under VST Instruments. Virus Control came up saying "Syncing", and hung at the 2nd bar (so about 2% through?). I closed the VC and Cubase, rebooted my PC and tried again. This time, VC loaded up (but didn't sync), and playing notes on my keyboard (set up properly in Cubase to send to the Virus TI plugin as usual) SEEMED to be working - the VST interface was receiving the notes, but no audio. Furthermore, changing patches in VC did not change the patch on the hardware display.

Hmm, "seems to not have a USB connection" I thought... Closed Cubase, unplugged the Virus (with power on), BOOM, Windows (Vista SP1) crashes (BSOD) and reboots within a few seconds -- I didn't even have time to read what the BSOD said.

After the reboot, I load up Cubase and again try to insert an instance of VC, but this time I get the picture of a stethoscope and "Cannot connect to Virus TI..." (or thereabouts) message.


Since then, I've spent 3 hours uninstalling, unplugging/replugging USB, pulling the power cord and replugging holding 'Exit', and trying all number of previous driver versions, completely unable to simply go back to a previous firmware! OS 2.7.5 installed fine, but even with the Virus in OS-update mode I could NOT get the 2.7.5 firmware installed.

FINALLY I have now (somehow?!) managed to get firmware 2.5.1 installing.

What a nightmare of a release!!

Oh, while we're on the topic of 'the OS3 experience'

I don't like the new "Welcome" screen, and ESPECIALLY how the LCD sloooowly fades in and out when turning the Virus on/off with OS3.
Bring back the old "VIRUS | TI" with status bar, loading screen of previous OS's, coupled with the instant LCD on/off behavior

Ok, here is my OS3 experience:

love the new interface and layout
love the abillity for 3out 1in over USB
BUT IT DOES NOT WORK

I have no sound issues, but my VSTi window does not show, or redraws the control plugin correctly. When i drag another window over it it redraws, or looks garbled. this behaviour starts when multipe plugs are loaded and starts happening after loading 3 or more instances of Tone2 Gladiator2 (at least unloading them sorted the issue

It seems that the plugin realtime updating window eats away CPU time and starts behaving weird in dense projects.

And nothing is more frustrating than working on a project coming at a stage where the control window suddenly does not work anymore.

Im having multiple problems with OS3 as well. Sometimes the volume turns down automaticly, I keep getting sync errors in the vc info window asking me to stop and replay and every now and then the pitch will move as if i were to toggle the pitch wheel. Im glad Im not doing live music at the moment.I know its beta but when do we get our bug fixes?
