Those using the virus TI with Cubase SX 3.1 please try this

just reposting this as a separate topic to save a lot of you the trouble of having to read through my other posts.

Essentially I am trying to find out if a specific sound doesn't get recalled right in cubase (as other sounds get recalled fine)
The sound is ROM-A 098 Syrys BC

1. Create a new song in cubase
2. Load the virus TI virus control in cubase
3. Create a midi track in cubase and assign the output port to the virus TI (virus control port)
4. Load up the sound Syrys BC - found under Rom A 098
5. Create a 4 bar loop (mine was at 120bpm) and just record a quick loop using the Syrys BC sound, no need to make tweaks to the sound.
6. Playback the song and make sure it sounds fine.
7. Save the song, close the song and then reopen the song in cubase.
8. Hit play - Does the Syrys BC patch sound the same as it did when you recorded it - on mine it sounds all detuned and distorted.

another sound that is giving me grief is ROM A-064 NewkLead BC. The other sound around those sounds are fine when I load them in cubase, save and then reload.

Does it with Chainer as host also.

[Doc Jones]

so you're getting the same issue with those sounds (roms 98 & 64) in both cubase and chainer hosts?

3 times I can repeat your error, 2 times the same fast scramble sound, one time a slow even sqaure octave LFO. The parameters are mostly the same BUT some are differnent like; one time Vocoder-SPREAD was different, Reverb and Delay were at 0 and sometimes at other values, LFO1 and 2 CLK rates were different once also, Key FLW was different two times.

Haven't tried in Cubase - no need, doesn't seem host specific.

[Doc Jones]

thanks for trying it out grs. Anyone else confirm the issue?

[ben crosland]

-thanks

Ben, it's also time for me to say thank you. Your help here and especially the reporting of bugs really help much (to me as well when I receive mine :-D).

Main Note *** This issue is Host Software Independent ***
It seems to happen with all daw software - cubase, logic, chainer etc.

Thanks to grs and ben for testing and confirming.

by that I meant specific to a certain host. Using Virus Control means you're are using 'A' host of course.
