Hi everybody.
I'm a Win XP user, and when I'm in my DAW and the VirusControl 3.0 Beta plugin is in a separate window with the Browser pane currently showing, I've noticed that playing a note on the TI causes the computer display to redraw repeatedly- apparently in sync with the signal strength bar in the patch I'm playing. The program icons on the desktop go crazy, disappearing and reappearing, and the application windows refresh, until the signal strength from the note I played subsides to nothing. It's almost as if updating the signal strength bar in the patch browser causes the entire monitor display to be refreshed. When I switch from the Browser view to something else, say, "Easy," "Osc" or "Filter," I don't see the flickering any more. Also, I don't observe it when the VirusControl plugin is confined to the DAW window (as opposed to having its own title bar, etc.).
Has anyone else observed this behavior, and if so, is there a way around it? It amounts to little more than an annoyance, to be sure, especially in software like FL Studio, where the default is for the plugin to be managed by the parent application and so the problem doesn't occur. However, applications like Ableton Live display plugins as separate windows, where the behavior would occur and be quite apparent.
Regards,
T.
