err it works.... just like the last OS update.

I wanted a new gizmo to play with - like 6 MONO outputs instead of 3 stereo pairs.

what? the side chain feature is still NOT available? :(

Not in this latest beta release. Marc states they are working on it, though.

[IamEvil]

coincidence ?

My virus just spluttered and farted , made some strange disolving sound (I should of sampled it :)) and fell silent.

I had to turn off by the mains to get it to come back on and when it did the left side of screen was blank - turn off again from wall , left for a minute and now it's back working once again.

Strangely it coincided with my antivirus which was auto updating.. ?

"-VC: Part mute no longer delayed in some cases "

Translation::

Part mute isn't delayed anymore, sometimes.... That's what I got out of it. ;)

cool, glad to hear. this is one feature that I can't wait to start utilizing.

I'm experimenting with this latest beta and it seems like my midi keyboard is telling logic to change screen sets - that is, the keys actually trigger screen changes - flipping between arrange, track mixer, matrix. Now, this could be because I'm a complete n00b, newbie, nube etc etc...the midi keyboard is midi'ed up to the Ti which is USB'd to my mac mini.

I usually use a Yamaha 01X/i88x combo as my interface/digital mixer/control surface but tonight I decided to try the Ti instead but I got lots of synch error messages from logic as well as the screen set changes.

I'm on Tiger 10.4.11, Logic 7.2.3 and 2.7.1.0 on the Ti...just thought I would mention these as I work through the possible causes and fixes....happy tweakin!

markoos

ps, also have Logic Studio still in the box waiting to be installed but that's not going to happen for a few weeks yet...anyone else on this latest combo?

mac os x 10.5.4 / Logic pro 8.02 /
Just installed latest beta version 5 and after the install the virus screen shows ' virus ti bios v1.03 -usb updated'ED - the screen stays like this.
computer says restart, i restart, Virus is still stuck on this screen. i pull out power cable and plug back in, wait a few seconds, power up virus. On boot up screen shows 2.5.1.02 (12-sep-07), seems to have updated fine? i play it and no sound comes out, i connect headphones and no sound, i boot up Logic, it runs thru au validation, it detects virus and asks if i'd like to use it as soundcard, i say no becuase i use a tc konnect 48, plugin window opens with a tutorial type screen, i run thru a bit of that then click next and see the usual screen, i go to browser choose a few patches, no sound, logic is playing sound from loops and/or other au's, virus plays no sound. i shut everything down, restart computer, uninstall virus software and then run new beta 5 updater again, reboot, go through everything again and still no sound, my virus makes no sound, what now? any advice please.

[marc]

when it says "2.5.1.02" it certainly didn't update fine. you want to install version 2.7.1.0 and only if it says that in the boot-up screen, the update was successful.
boot the virus while holding the EXIT key and use Virus Control Center (which can be found within the Access folder in applications) to update the firmware or get in touch with access support.

hth, marc

the nasty click in my tune has gone now. finaly, made my day.

[thelike5]

This new update has 100% solved my main problem with my Snow of getting stuck midi notes as well as only initializing ONCE per macbook bootup. If I deleted the track that the "virus ti snow" vsti was located in, I couldn't restart the Snow plug in until I rebooted my entire system, (not just Ableton Live... I had to restart my macbook or even in some cases shut down and re-boot). It would get stuck halfway through initializing. This new update cures this probem.

I even considered getting rid of my Snow due to this problem as it had the nasty potential to destroy a live set entirely. Witht his new update, my Snow isn't going anywhere.

Thanks Joerg and all at Access for listening. I told you I was patient and knew this was still a beta release!

Mac OS 10.5.4 / Logic Express 8.0.2

Installed the beta on the TI Snow. So far so good:) The update got rid of the note carry over when i would switch patches .

[Monobeat]

I am holding off on this one till this batch of tunes in done and over with. Has anyone with PPC G5 and Ableton 6.0 has any luck with the beta OS?
