Os 4 Is Out !

[Totty]

And I'm at work:twisted: Arhhhh!!!!

[Alakhai]

oh yeah! downloading it....

edit: f**k! I'm running Vista on this crappy PC and I need SP1

[sawtooth]

the vowel filter is a lot of fun - so far my favorite part of os4. I haven't messed with the arp stuff yet. I like the new distortions, too. It's not anything I couldn't do with additional distortion plug-ins, but it's nice to have it on the virus.

[///OSS]

I love this update, the arp to matrix is just ba fukin nanas!!!! so much fun, Distortions are finally nice and juicy and more musical and fuzzy when the resonance hits it, not messy and sloppy like the originals. the Comb filter is SICK! just tripped the hell out. love the vowel filter as well very airy and creamy, speaker cab is a nice added detail to dial it in in the spectrum nicely.

all in all it's a great OS upgrade :D very very happy

Has anyone tried messing around with the VST3 in Cubase and what benefits if any are there....vst input per chance?

Thanks

Not tried. In my case when it first came out TIOS 3.3.0.0 VST3 was less laggy on win 7 x64 than its VST2 counterpart (Sequencer: Presonus Studio One)


I love this os. The improved browser view sounds like a worthless detail but boy, does it look badass and very less tiring on your eyes. The VC seems less laggy as well (7 x64). The sounds are great and make make want to go programming more right now. Epic win.

A few bugs here...

The Virus Control window does not look the same as that in the new manual addendum - the left hand side (the 16 patch slots) still looks like the previous version - not dark with the different layout

When recalling the new patches for OS4 - I have noticed that many of the recalled soft knob positions do not reflect the patch settings http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/confused.png AND - the hardware soft knobs on my TI Keyboard do NOTHING now (with Virus Control) http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/angry.png

+ I cannot change patches from my TI Keyboard whilst Virus Control is running either!

Otherwise - so far, so good http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/biggrin.png

EDIT: Hmmm... back to v3.3.4.0 for me - BUGGER http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/thumbdown.png

[Roby31]

Just having a couple of visual bugs (no knob on vowel/comb filter and no label of new distortion knobs) - the left VC side looks like older versions.
But the sounds and feature all work for me.

Win 7 x64 - FL9 - VC VST2

[emdebee]

OK...

Just after going back to v3.3.4.0, I saw that there was another Mac Installer, located in Private Beta Versions - no idea if it's any different so grabbed it anyway - installed it - rebooted and now it all works as it should now!

Go Figure http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/biggrin.png

So my previous issues seem to be "null and void" now... apart from the discrepancy in the manual with the 16 Part slots layout and colouring

Time to play http://virusti.com/library/wcf/images/smilies/thumbsup.png

My left hand channels look same as older versions, but the text has gone to white with black background for the browser window... Is this normal?

I think so for this version. I have the same thing...reversed colors on the browser. Only other issues I'm having (and mind you this was only after having about an hour to play around with the new OS last night) was a few missing labels on some of the FX controls in VC, and for some reason my sustain pedal was not working at all last night. Aside from that I love the new changes. I almost always run everything through some type of speaker or amp model anyway so having this as an onboard effect rather than another processer eating plugin is beautiful. The new comb and vowel filters are incredible when combined with the arp>matrix and the distortion models all sound great. If I can find the source of the sustain pedal issue, I will be absolutely thrilled with the OS. Best update since the new osc modes imho.

It worked for me straight away, on Ti1 desktop ~ osx.10.4.6. No probs.

I am really enjoying the arp matrix, with arp pattern being modulated with a random input. It's making for some very dynamic and unpredictable modulations.

The rest of the fx go without saying ... but here it is anyhow ... brilliant. I kinda want an extra virus, maybe even a snow, just as an additional effects unit! Fix some of those other lame-ass synths i have, off to the side.

I set up a multi involving patches with different distortions and my virus started outputting chicken tikka masala with onion bhajia on the side. Has anyone else experienced this? ;)

I think this is "• VC: Visually improved browser view"

Having issues. I noticed almost immediately patches don't load. I can sit there double clicking for a few minutes and they won't load. Go to another patch it loads fine than I have to go back to the patch that wouldn't load. I'll try it for a few more days both it looks like I'm going back to 3.1.

Ahhh it's a beta, damn by now I should know better.;-)
