BEEEEEEP High pitch beep happens durring crash...

[mrmizuno1]

Hi there all the Infekted,

So here's my latest...

When working on different projects, typically those with decent amounts of controller changes via the MIDI track (not directly to VC, which is just a bitch to manage when you can't re-arrange the individual channels to the track work flow), I get a high pitch BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP as the TI crashes and causes me to reboot the synth.

Luckily when I restart it doesn't crash my project and I can continue to work for 5-10-20 minutes at a time.

Curious to say the least. I've had so many problems with the TI over the various releases i've almost come to take it as a necessary evil to have problems.

I plan on updating to 3.0.112 ASAP but at this point i'm running 3.06, Cubase 3.11, G5 Dual 2G, 10.4.11.

I looked at the change log for the latest OS but didn't really see anything that really applied to this problem.

Any advice graciously requested.

Cheers,

let us know if you have the same problems with 3.0.1.12 - by the way, you really should update cubase at least to 3.1

best, marc

[superkangaroo]

Having the exact same problem with my TI2 desktop and Cubase 4.5.1. Havent updated to 3.0.1.12 yet because of it didnt say anything about it in the change log.

However, will try it later today

[mrmizuno1]

Don't remember what number exactly just know I'm on the latest SX version.

I'm having something similar happen in FL Studio. i'll be playing a pattern and when i hit pause, it starts to make a stuttering sound. After that the leds on the Virus turn off and back on again like if i were turning it on. From there the virus will work for about 10 seconds and then no sound will come out and I'm unable to change the patch via Virus Control.
A little similar, but just wanted to throw that out there.

how can i reproduce that? what do i need to do to make this happen?

thanks, marc

marc, i have been in contact with access support. i can send you the project files i have sent to them if you'd like.

[filiphdan]

I have had the same problem here, i tried contacting the access support and tried to solve the problem but after several weeks of mails we couldnt manage to solve it out so i have returned my access virus ti 2 to the store (i have just receved a new one today) so lets see if this unit does the same, i realy hope it dosn´t :)

Now what i'm experiencing is the same thing. Before mine was just similar, but now its exactly the same.
In my case its more of a distortion when the unit boots back up.

I would be changing patches while a pattern is playing in FL Studio causing the audio to freeze. After a few seconds of the audio stuttering, the unit seems to shut off. All the LEDs on the unit turn off, but the backlit display stays on. After a few seconds the LEDs come on, as normal and im able to play around some more. After a while though it locks up. Im not able to change the patch and i have to kill the sound with the panic button. After the sound is killed the only way to use the unit is to power off and back on.
Access support so far has only instructed me to do unit resets. This hasn't fixed the problem, i hope they are working on another solution.

[HUEY]

Same here.

By me it happens when switching sounds during play and stop the sequencer (Cubase SX3).
First I got a high very loud iieeeeep sound. then 2 or 3 distorted schratch sounds. The lights on the virus stop blinking and eventualy go out.(display stays on). When I'm lucky the virus come to live after 10 sec. and I can go on working, but I will have problems later (for example I can't select sounds anymore in VC).
In other cases I have to reboot immediately.

It happens on all soundbanks, even ROM banks.

I also went back to 2.7.5 to see what happens. I was not able to let the virus crash then. So I think it has something to do with the 3.X beta

Hopefully it can be solved

WinXPsp3, SX3, Ti Desktop, Focusrite saffire

[mrmizuno1]

Not that I am happy that you all are having problems as well but I am a little bit because that means it's not just my system having some obscure problem that Access will never address in any updates.

Shit, like I said in the original post, it's just something I've come to expect with the TI and new software updates. I had it super stable for a long time then when they throw in a couple new bells and whistles all hell breaks loose.

Be patient and just wait for an update. That's what I've come to terms with unfortunately.

Oh and I did update to 3.0.1.2 or whatever and same deal.....

Cheers all.

ive just got a new virus to replace the other unit and the problem whit the high pitch beep wen crashing for now it as desapeared but in the other side the synth is completly out of tune!I tried everthing and it stays the same...Ive contacted access support again and i just hope i can solve this out or this is useless this way :(

Tuning issues on a VA? This is beyond ridiculous. I was seriously considering a TI2 for a while, but the constant barrage of posts from people having bizarre problems with these synths has really put me off of the idea. It sucks, because the more I look at the TI (even without the total integration), the more I realize how few synths (basically none) provide anywhere near the virus' feature set. These days, though, stability is a major consideration when looking at a new piece of gear -- and should be a given when you're talking about a $2500 digital instrument. I understand a lot of issues are simply due to the existence of the public beta OS, but the hardware troubles people have mentioned are a bit too scary for me.

I suppose I'll take another look when/if a stable OS with 64bit drivers is ever released.

Hope access is able to sort you out.

3.0.2.01 has not fixed this issue for me. the virus is still crashing when a patch is changed during playback, then stopping playback afterwards causes the TI to crash and emit a loud digital noise through the speakers. (the noise does not always happen, but the crash does.)

[Stimulatormusic]

3.0.2.01 has not fixed this issue for me too.
The virus is still crashing when a patch is changed during playback.
A lot of noise is coming out of the virus. I attached a mp3. Please fix this problem! :mad:

[DiScO]

I have probably just had the worst crash I have ever seen on my TI. I was in the middle of posting another topic when it happened so it spilt over to that I'm afraid. The circumstances for me when it happened were simply playing a patch called SuperWrmMS, I was experiencing intermittent crackling when moving any knob on the TI, like good old MIDI zipper noise. The noise was only present on the USB output, not analog. Occasionally throughout this, I noticed the led's flickering on and off (all of them), but the display staying on. Eventually it obviously became too much and it just freaked big time, emitting the loudest, nastiest noise to date. I don't monitor loud, but this certainly caused me some pain. As I said in my other topic, you should withdraw this as being an official release, unless of course my TI happens to be faulty. Prbb.

Exactly the same noizes I expierience!

Can you please post your systems details, DAW, Virus type etc and describe exactly how you can make it happen to help Access??

[Stimulatormusic]

Hey HUEY,

Check my profile for the details of my DAW.

The TI just crash after 1 or 2 min, when I browsing sounds during playback.
(by browsing on the Virus Control only , not on the hardware!)

[HUEY]

Hey Stimulatormusic (Je woont wel erg dichtbij)

I see you work with Cubase 4.5 So a new DAW (beside SX3 en FL7) with the same problem
Does it happen during just switching sounds during play, or do you have to stop/pause the sequencer to make it hapen? (Like me and fender2k1)

best r.

[7G]

The beeps are here too with the official 3.0.1.15 version
Hope nothing bad happens to my speakers

Fix...fix....fix....Please

[marc]

with a little luck we will have a new version later today which might cure the problem. the reason i'm so vague is that we are not entirely sure if everybody is talking about the same problem. we found two issues which we fixed. hopefully there are no other ones which lead to the crash.

best, marc

[Prime NL]

Great news...hopefully it will solve the crashing issue.

Tx for the update Marc... :)

[HUEY]

The new update did solve my crash problem

Thank you Marc and Access !! I'm realy happy !!

best regards

I'm still getting the crash and beep. I just left cubase opened for about 30 minutes on a project with nothing but the virus plugin running, and it randomly crashed and squealed at me. It wasn't even playing so no midi or anything was being sent to the virus. It's getting pretty irritating that a $2100 synthesizer is crashing on an almost daily basis. If the thing didn't sound so good and I didn't love the whole total integration thing so much I would have sent it back by now.

[Stimulatormusic]

The crash when a patch is changed during playback seems to be fixed, but I've got the same problem here that the virus is still crashing after 1hr or 2hr work. Also when it wasn't even playing so no midi or anything was being sent to the virus. I hear the same noise and beeps as the patch changing bug. After the crash i saw that USB 3 output wasn't working anymore??

I need to reset the virus again and start up my DAW, very annoying!

[DiScO]

Same here sadly enough. In the middle of mastering something so I have not even used let alone touched the TI since switching it on and it just crashed right in front of my very eyes, well, ears actually as I got a nice blast of shite through my speakers again. Thanks Access. Been on for about an hour, usual form, leds out, crash, display stays on, blast of noise.

I've got the same problem with it killing USB3 too. That one is particularly annoying. I noticed a couple times when it killed USB3 reloading the patch that I was using in that slot fixed the problem, no idea what's up with that.

Have you checked your energy prefs? Is your machine set to sleep?

Just wondering since my machine has been on for about a day, and it has not crashed at all. I take it your daw was open when this happened?

My daw was opened and I was actively using the computer so no way sleep or anything screwed it up for me.

ok. cool, I just wanted to check.

[Sonis]

Just had a slightly less random crash that might help marc/access figure things out faster. Had a song playing in Cubase, hit space to stop playback, heard a little noisey chirp from the virus like a really really short version of the crash sound, then as soon as started playback again it did a full on crash.

Is this with 3.0.2.02?

[Sonis]

Yep, latest version of Cubase 5 too.

[Sonis]

I've also just noticed that if I leave the virus on long enough it will randomly crash (all the LEDs go out and come back on), without even opening Cubase or VC. I would assume it'd make that nasty noise too if I had it hooked up via anything other than USB.
