A bug that prevents pro music making on PC's. (on practically all TI OS)

You'd think if this was as big of an issue as the OP is trying to make it out to be, that you'd hear a lot more fuss about it by now.

Sorry mate, but this is just the moment when we can hear about this - since Virus TI has been full of timing bugs etc. that have taken the attention of the user. (..untill around OS 3.0..)

I am sure that you will find this also, if you just follow the steps given in the first post.

The thing about this is that it is totally random when it starts - and you might need to make music about 45 minutes before it will happen.

I get what you are saying, and I believe you that following the steps that you gave will result in the problem you are describing. I'm just saying that after a few years of using Cubase and the TI (and my sessions usually last a few hours at a time) I've never run into the problem during normal operation. I've had timing issues and have lost sync, but I've had that with several VSTs and it happens once in a blue moon...usually solved by a simple stop/start.

This may be be completely different for you. This may be a serious problem for your setup that makes it impossible for you to be productive, but my point is I think you are overestimating the problem's scale as there are many of us (I would go so far as to say most of us) that don't have any issues with normal operation. If it was a glitch that "prevents pro music making on PC's" for most users in normal operation, then you would see a heck of a lot more people complaining about it. I do hope that you find a resolution to the problem, but please don't misrepresent the impact of this particular problem outside of your own experiance.

Sorry dude but Ive been using my virus in stand alone mode and VC for 5 years and released hundreds of TV and radio ads with the virus splattered all over them and I haven't encountered a single time ever that had to retune my virus.

To do the test and find out that after 15 time of resetting my ASIO driver and playing a sine wave at a million khz and it actually drifts, doesn't seem like a moment that I would ever encounter while making music so its pointless.

I think the title is absurd and uncalled for but that's just me. The TI is a great machine and although not perfect, it gets the job done.

Maybe you should set your VC outs to be analog and get a real interface for you system. dont rely on a external synth's audio I/O for your main DAW. Maybe that's why I dont run into the issue. I remember a while back I had some sample rate convert issues.. maybe you need to play around with who's master and slave.

+1. That isn't at all fair to Access.

Totally is.

They are bind by law to give compensation to all VIRUS TI users who ask them to compensate, if my case is proven correct.

Synth not staying in tune, and normal sequencing habits triggering the synth to drift can be considered a bug that will prevent the usage of the synth and render it unusable in any pro studio.

Personally all I have wanted has been a working synth.

The response from ACCESS has been only unprovessional ignorance. They are happy when their MAC users customers are happy..

my synth was even sent to Germany to ACCESS factories where for some reason they could not spot the obvious error - that is actually present in perhaps every Virus TI.

After 10 monts of sending emails to Thomann & Access together (and after my synth being returned after being investigated by an unprofessional emplyee @ ACCESS), I made this video.

After that ACCESS responded that they had actually confirmed this bug exists.

Now they are not finding the fix they should - and are ignoring this thing totally.

Well - you see, if your Virus TI will drift after doing that - it will drift for example after opening VST plugins.

The title is totally fair - no one with an ear for pitch can produce tunes with a synth that does not stay in tune.

I am sorry if that offends some people who have not heard this by themselves, or seems abit egoic.

I don't care.
