timescale for OS 3.0 update ? (Marc Maybe)

[hdruxpin]

Let me start by saying im not demanding this should be done now, or kicking and screaming. I know Access have some support and free upgrading skillz that no other company can match.

I have just got me a snow last week, and im really looking forward to being able to route audio into it. I am planning not to buy a soundcard, but use the Snow as the main hub.

I believe 3.0 beta has worked better on normal TI's, and am just hoping the release another beta which works on the "Snow"

Marc if you have any insight that would be great.

If not its not the end of the world, as im sure it WILL come.

the next public beta is in the pipeline right now but it will take a couple of days to roll out. did you have any specific problems with the snow and 3.0? we didn't really fix anything snow exclusive so far.

Hi Marc,


This sounds promissing, would be great if we have something new to play with over the weekend. I REALLY like the 3.0, it's soo much beter than the 2.7x interface :-) and the FX are superb.

Sometimes there are gripes, having everything to get to work together (which is often not even an Access issue). But overall I've found tremendous value already in my OS3 upgrade. Can't wait for further updates.

Hi Marc,
It's encouraging that the update is in the pipeline.

I'm a Snow user who updated to BEta 3.0 and I was having audio dropouts, stuck notes, and general freezes when switching patterns in Virus Control within Ableton Live 7 (latest version) on my macbook (1.67 ghz 2 gigs ram.)

I also had the same problems when the beta vbersion of 2.7 (I think) was out. Whatever the beta version was that first included Atomizer. Once the updates came out all my problems were basically sorted.

Here's hoping the new update addresses those issues mentioned above. I had to go back to the last offical version of 2.7 in order for the Snow to work properly. No big deal but that new 3.0 GUI as well as the new effects are certainly missed!!

Thanks for the update on the update.

Hello there marc,
in fact i think there are some major issues with os 3.0.0 pb and the snow, i've installed it as soon as i received my brand new snow and i could not live with it, hanging notes, sync problems and patch loading freezes, this happened both on cubase sx3 and c4, i didnt had time to test ablelton live on another DAW.

Switching back to 2.7.3, which was factory installed on my snow, solved all problems, and i can work with it flawlessly for hours without a single glitch on both my laptop and my desktop daw.

There are people i know which runs os3 on regular ti's without any major problem (aside from random sync/pitch problems, very occasional as they said).

I could tell ya at least 2 or 3 factory patches that wont load at all, or loads but hangs the whole thing, if using OS3 with the snow, let me go back home and i'll let you know.


Cheers
Astuni

Hi Marc, as stated by other users above. The snow with 3.0 will crash and not output any audio unless it has a cold reboot. So pretty unusable.

THANK YOU for the prompt response Marc ! Access and YOU are bloody legendry.

[Splat!]

Marc-o-tron, the snow was barely useable with OS3.0
I'll give you a cookie, if you mail me the final release. :mrgreen:

:twisted: w00t new OS in a few days.

Great to hear of a new update. I will check the Access page daily in anticipation. I can't wait to read the changelog, here is to hoping some of our suggestions for new features made their way in to the upcoming release!

on the ti desktop i have sync problems with OS3. and some knobs don't work at all. i went back to 2.7.5 and everything works fine again.

maybe my question wasn't clear. i was asking for things that only happen to the snow. as i said, we found something that could be related to what you state but it is present for the snow and the rest of the TI range.

An example of a crashing patch with os3 is the RAM1 1-6 FunkTripMS, it simply doesn't sound with os3, crashes the whole thing and i need to panic the unit to get it working again..

Make sure you report any sort of reproducible bugs you find like this to Access support (email) guys so we can increase the speed of bug squashing! (message not targeted at you specifically astuni, just generally) :)

On my Ti Polar with OS 3.0 the machine will frequently not produce any sound randomly while idle. The only fix is to unplug and replug the Polar back in (power switch would have been nice).

Additionally at about 20+ minutes of inactivity the Polar will play internally and send out a sustained random note via midi. While I thoroughly enjoy the Virus sound and a panic button press will usually stop this, it has surprised myself and other household members repeatedly at unexpected times. This behaviour has existed now thru several OS updates and is very annoying.

Everything else is perfect.

Are you sure that's not a design feature to alert you to the fact you have left the little Polar to gorge on power? Try a test to see if it really is a random note, or if it is the same note of the patch currently loaded. (^_^)

sure you dont have a ghost.

No, that has happened to me several times with various Virus OSs. It is definately the Virus, I checked my whole system done and it happened both on my old Powerbook and my Mac Pro

[DiScO]

It's happened to me too, bunches of times!

I had the same problem once, even without usb link...the Virus, on its own, sent out a single note.
no big problem, but maybe you Access gods should know it ;)
