Virus C restarting

[autoflavour]

plaid emu.. when i say it works fine.. i wouldnt really consider not being able to use a simple midi controller to be able to play as fine..


namnibor - i will look into the power situation and see if it makes a difference..
its a strange one though, sometimes it happens just when i am just clicking thru patches.. and other times it when there its receiving data..

its kind of bumming me out a bit as i have only just recently picked up a Doepfer MCV4 and i have been using the Arpeggiator on the Virus to control my SH101.. which has been making the 101 squelch out sounds i have never heard from it before.

its delightful.. thus my concern over the Virus's intermittent restart issues.

Remember, if it happens again, take detective-like note of how any of midi cables are laying and whether they are laying across some OTHER not-so shielded electrical cable AND if say your virus is plugged in to say the same circuit your refrigerator is on or anything that may come on and off on its own. When I say 'circuit', am refering to how you know how if in some dwellings when you run vac and microwave at same time as say the A/C it will only trip the circuit breaker or fuse for that given 'circuit' or room?
Also, yet another cyclic troublemaker can be if you had a change in your set-up controls on your PC's antivirus, needing to just place it back into 'silent mode' or off all together if not on web while working ahyway. Admitedly my experience with my Virus KC is pretty recent, but these kinds of things can affect any of other alien contacting synths, regardless of age. Surely let all of us know when you get it sorted.
Happy Halloween!

I do not know anything about the proper use of the Doepfer MCV4 you mentioned but could it be you need to have settings in Virus C set to "play nice" with each other? Is your Doepfer MCV4 the only thing "different" in your set-up pre-this problem raising its ugly head? If so, you may have narrowed it down to where to focus on!

Were you ever able to fix this? I am having similar issues with my Virus A.
