Hi,
Recently I have got back into my Virus TI Polar again and updated to OS4. Often I use the knobs to control softsynths etc. I have found something I think is strange... When I assign a virus knob to filter cutoff or pitch sweep on something - if I sweep the knob very quickly I can discern parameter stepping. This is not as obvious as it could be on a very digital sounding synth such as an SH-32. It seems to step in groups.
I'm no expert:confused: but... it seems to me Access have reduced the knob parameter update speed to probably reduce the load either on the synth or usb.
This is a real shame as it's a great controller otherwise, but I like to be able to sweep fast! Before anyone says try midi or the Virus itself - I have and I still hear it. I even reinstalled an older OS and the parameter speed was faster again. I also emailed Marc at Access but haven't heard from him yet.
Can anyone replicate/confirm this?
Cheers
