Yay! Downloading now. :D

[Cantankerous]

meh, doesn't seem to offer anything too exciting, but thanks anyways!

[telson]

Marc good news :)

previous major issue with Sonar crash (3.0.1.10) does not exist anymore
yeeaahhhh ;)
vsti plugin seems to work fine
let's see and listen the other guys what have to say

[plaid_emu]

Everything seems back to normal.

Live 7.0.15 / OSX 10.4.11 / TI desktop 3.0.1.12

No more crashing while selecting patches and MIDI sync appears to be working for now. :D

Hummm coool but I prefer to wait the feedback of the Snow users before to install it. :-P

[HUEY]

The Virus still crashes when changing sounds during play in VC!!
I did 2 attempts. 1st changing sounds with the mouse during play and 2nd changing sounds with the cusror keys. Both crashes on the first attempts.

First I got a synchronisation is lost, stop the sequencer etc error. When I stop the sequenser there is a loud squeezing noize coming out of the virus and it is dead after. I have to reboot again.

It happens during changing sounds from the "user library" and sounds in the virus itself, both selecting in VC

B.t.w. It's the Virus Ti itself that crashes, not VC or sequenser

On an expensive patch that has never had problems in all previous OS3 betas,
I got a very unpleasant static crash distortion sound as all the LEDS unanimously started failing, all of this while I was using brand new headphones. how lovely.

Computer type, computer OS version, DAW.......? Remember it's a beta so info like this doesn't help much unless Access gets your system details when there's an issue!

Do you remember which patch it was, and what you were doing when it happened (changing parameters, etc)? I am sure this would be helpful information for Access. Details baby, details!

Details baby? Ok. I use my TI2 Desktop only as a standalone unit. The point is not the patch itself, because it has been completely OK throughout the previous betas. I guess the point is these betas still aren't 100% stable - I mean, what the heck is sudden dimming of all LEDs and that a loud crash through the headphones? (But yes, it is a beta, I understand.)

Of course, after rebooting, I jammed on as many notes as possible on said patch, and could not reproduce the mishap. These are tiny minute 'malfunctions' I know - so small, I don't even wanna bother the help desk at this point. Please remember: I'm not just writing this stuff to pick on anyone. I'm writing because we all really did purchase these units, and we really ARE getting errors here and there. ...And that sharp pain in my ear really did hurt.

Let's have 53 more betas before 3.1 PLEEEEEEEASE. :rolleyes:

It was me Marc!!!I'm honored....hehehe:)


please don't use it


Why there's an easter egg feature inside?....Hahaha just kidding:)

Live 8 here all good for now...

[Prime NL]

Installed 3.0.1.12 without any problems at all on my TI Desktop.

Works like a charm also in combination with my Mac G4 and Ableton.

can you please send me the content of your user library in a private message? i have the suspicion that it is a combination of sounds which make your virus crash and i would like to have a look.

Do you have some downloaded patches for discounted virus models (a, b, c)? If yes, I need to try to remove them from patches directory too, because I have the same problem.

P.S. I like your nickname because this word is very funny verb in russian language . :D

Yes, I have!! Strange thing is then that the Virus also crashes when I select patches within the virus from the ROM-banks in VC. They are designed specifc for the Ti (I hope)

Hm... Maybe all patches was cached by VC...
marc? :)

[ctrlshft]

just loaded up the new beta, working way better now, not having issues w/ knobs in VC randomly not affecting the patch when you turn them now. Interestingly it loads up faster for me in Cubase Studio 5 now too. :)

[reflective]

Yep! 3.0.1.12 makes the discussion about ver. 3.0.1.10 become obsolete... Thank you, access music!

Interestingly it loads up faster for me in Cubase Studio 5 now too

Also for me in Live 8.0.1:p The Virus is "Talking to Virus..." in VCC much faster, too!

Hopefully these improvements will be saved into the upcoming versions and will not sacrificed for other fixes.

[HUEY]

Can someone test this please:

When I select a patch from the "DJ Android Virus C" bank in Virus Control. there is sound coming sound via the USB output and the analog output 1 at the same time ?

Maybe it has something to do with the new OS and the patch change/crash problem?

I have a small problem (http://www.infekted.org/virus/showthread.php?t=30880) with OS 3.0.1.12

[DiScO]

I thought at one point we were getting somewhere with this machine and the VC. I still see the same old problems however, terrible latency unless I use direct mode (which of course means arp pattern timings are out), stuttering upon playing back a sequenced arp pattern, like a glitch type effect, very fashionable but generally resulting in off timing again. I have turned off the BPM led's as they are a major distraction due to them being outatime, most probably because they follow the playback of the arp sound selected which drifts. The whole feel of this expensive device is throughly disappointing when using the VC. It's a damn shame. I suppose you could call this my first rant about the TImk1, as I love it so much, but something tells me it's technically flawed in order for it to exhibit this behavior consistently. It's such a relief to switch to an audio unit and feel no latency and rock solid timing. Even my powercore virus is a relief, but has it's fair share of problems.

Sorry about that, but it's been going on for too long!!!!

My previous comments were coming from a Snow. Works really great w/ the new OS so far, haven't really encountered any issues yet, albeit I've only used the new OS for maybe a good solid 3 hours total in the studio, but usually if something is wrong I encounter it well before then.

too much tragedy my friend , please think positive

[Auditory Canvas]

Had the same issue with all 3. betas. Clicking on the save patch button, or patch bank dropdown box in VC causes Cubase to crash and disappear.

Cubase 4.5.2
OSX 10.5.6
Ti mk 1

Have tried emptying the patch cache in the application support folder, and also tried removing all but one patch bank from the patches folder, to no avail, still crashes.

Any ideas what to try, or is this just an issue related to the beta?

let's just say it doesn't happen here but i think you are not the only one who reported this problem. in order to find out what causes it, we need to know more about the specific circumstances. in case you're not already in touch with support, you should open a ticket with them.

I am ust the snow to. beta OS 3.0.1.12 make the same problems as OS 3.0.1.10...detecting a hub

OS 3.0.1.9 runs without a problem on the snow with live suite8. on a macbook and imac.

By beta versions are this problems normally. and it needs a little bit time to merge those problems out.

never change a running system

earlier versions didn't throw a root hub warning. the problem was there all the time. it is a problem with your setup, not the software.

I'm running the latest version of logic 8 on a powermac dual 2.7 g5 with an apogee duet as my default audio interface. My snow has had the same strange bug since I moved to 3.0.1 and now with 3.0.12:
Randomly while playing it will catch on what sounds like noise lfo'd by a fast squaretooth wave. It goes away only when I use the panic function. I unplug the usb and plug it back in and still the behavior reappears. I restart my computer and this seems to fix it until the next random instance of it returns.
I haven't seen any mention of this so far in this bug thread.

[Raphie]

3.12 works fine for me expect that USB3 locks up. (no sound) whichting outputs (3 > 3+1 > 3) sometimes brings it back, but often a full reboot is required. 3.09 and 3.06 did not have this problem (though they had the blank screens which now seems solved)

[markoos]

(Ti Desktop)

With 3.0.1.12, under atomiser, raising and lowering the atomiser count from 0 up to 16 (repeatedly) builds up a distortion with each increase/turn of the atomiser soft knob.

I'm not using the keyboard here - just running a signal into the inputs, choosing atomiser in an empty patch, making sure inputs L&R are chosen, and then I repeatedly increase and decrease the atomiser soft knob value. Nothing else is applied. Seems like a shut down/sleep is the only fix.

I've edited this post to state that this bug seems to be quite serious - at first I didn't think so but after messing around it looks like it's a pretty significant problem, ie, seriously distorting incoming audio. Also happens with programmed patches from existing banks.

Hi,

Update 3.01.12 has solved problems with using the vocoder and fx in TI with audio being sent from Cubase 4.5.2 via my audio interface, but when using Atomizer it seems to still be very buggy. I sometimes can get the Atomizer to work if I use it 1st thing after opening Cubase but as soon as I press play in Cubase (ie. stop then start again on transport) for the second time I totally lose the Atomizer features. I can still hear my audio going thru the Virus but Atomizer has left the building if I press any of the keys on my TI2.

Is anyone else having these issues when using Cubase and the Virus? Or does anyone have some suggestions? :confused:

TY.

Thanks Marc, I haven't yet, but will do so this week. Have another problem with Atomizer when sidechained in Albeton live too (stop on transport, and play again causes atomizer to stop working), so will cover both with a ticket.

i had this issue with 3.0.10. whatever combination i tried with USB connections, it thrived same warning. either it means that every USB connections on my computer are hubs (i doubt, dont know if it is possible, i have 4 connections on the back, and 4 on the front side), or something is wrong with virus software.
i have windows xp sp3

I can't get atomizer to do anything. Audio passes through OK, but when atomizer is activated, none of the midi note triggers do anything.

Interestingly, fx also do not work when atomizer is on, however i can get them to work just fine w/ incoming audio when atomizer is off.

running newest Virus OS and WinXP SP3.

Might have something to do with having 3USB outs selected - try setting it to 2.

So: Virus Control > Patch Utility (far right tab) > under 'USB Audio Mode' select "2 Outs" and see if it works now.

I had this issue pre Version 3 - having all USB outputs activated turns off an input or something. Have not tried Atomizer recently so not sure how it all works in Version 3.

i have windows xp sp3

the USB topology is reported by the OS (in this case windows). if what our software sees is not accurate is was reported in a wrong fashion. "hub" in this case refers to a root hub which is something different than an external hub as you might know. it essentially means that the USB port you connect to shares some resources with another USB port. only if the ports' demand in bandwidth exceeds what's to their disposal you will run into a problem. the trick with root hubs (if you cannot avoid going through one) is to balance the load. a USB mouse in combination with the TI is probably not a problem. a USB hard drive and a TI on the same root hub is potentially asking for trouble.

hope that explains things better

I'll definitely try that. I should mention I'm using Cubase Studio 5, and processing everything through the analog ins/outs.

oh, my mistake. i confound the usb ports after convert my equipment. :mrgreen:

[ctrlshft]

Just wanted to drop another note about Atomizer: Got it working last night... doing the exact same thing I was doing the night previous when it wasn't working. :rolleyes:

I did notice that sometimes I'd hit play on my DAW (Cubase Studio 5) and Atomizer wouldn't work... you had to stop it and jog back to where the audio was and hit play again. Snow would sync up or whatever and let the atomizer work. Beats me, I'm just glad I got to try it out, should be very fun for glitch-editing instrumental bridges/fills and stuff. wee!

[Jani K]

hey, i've started to experience snaps pops and crackles now after updated to 3.12.. vc says all the time that it's lost sync and i can't do anything to help it out. using 1024 buffer as i'm using virus powercore too.. tried all other buffers but it got worse..

i've got 4-7 instances of virus poco and ti polar but i can't use ti at all.. is it the powercore platform which fucks it up?

also uad-1's up on my system. running 10.5.6 on 2.7 dual ppc and logic 7

i bought logic 8 but on this ppc system the screen is just sooooo slow that i'm better off writing stuff at 7.

quite often the virus poco crashes if i'm using it with ti.. just click on anywhere at virus poco screen and off you go ..

i'll try it with external outputs to my mixer and will report if it gets any better..

cheers,
