People here with the Arp Bug should list thier setups. I have learned to live with an Arp Bug in the Virus b for ever. I get crazy bad sync for instance if my RME fireface mixer app is open. If I close this app window the Arp on the virus b is rock solid. Realy dumb stuff like this is going to be hard to pin down for the TI Arp Bug.

My hunch is that for some reason the TI Arps are not locked to the usb sample rate but have the BPM Sync looking for the Midi Clock. And midi clock is subjected to alot of neglect, mainly on the PC / Cubase side of things.

This would be why so many of you mention that it's worse on Realtime Audio Mixdown. I belive that midi clock for the hardware world is left as a last priority (by Cubase).

Lets see if that sheds any light on the topic.

PS I get my TI tommorow!!! Yeah!! Then I can see first hand what it is going to be like.

I can replicate this bug as well.

Virus TI Polar, latest OS.
Cubase SX3.1.
P4 2.5 1gig ram.

That really sucks :)

yep the arp is bugged what gets me is surely access know this and they have still released it that sucks
Also why am i the only one in this forum to find this a serious problem

This may sound silly but has anyone tried this yet.

:D Turn of your Virus scanner :D

Let us know if it works :lol:

Syncing issues would have to be the worst when doing electronic music.

So, I tell you what........

Being the generous guy that I am, I'm willing to swap my rock solid VirusC (in mint condition too) for one of your bug-riddled-unsyncable hunks of junk. I'll even chuck in an Alpha Juno 2! :D

PM if you're interested. :wink:

EDIT: I forgot to say that my VC syncs perfectly too. Please don't feel guilty for taking me up on this generous, once only offer.

I was just wondering is there a Virus C sound bank :wink: for the TI?
Or is it possible to download it and install Virus C sounds to the user banks on the TI?
Also new future sound banks?

There sure is, but none of the appegiator patches will sync on the TI though. :D

Yes, the offer still stands guys.

I tried lots of system tweeks, un plug USB mouse for example, no improve.
Best improvement was to unplug the USB from the virus.

With the USB plugged into the virus even when playing it in single mode and editing a patch sometimes the virus would not respond to manual control and would hold a not for a minute. I had my controler keyboard plugged directly into the TI desktop but the USB conection to the TI was F#$%ing with it.

USB has always sucked on a PC for anything but a mouse, even then some boots I don't even have mouse control.. F#%$ng PCs!!
Surely someone at Access has owned a PC scince 1995 and said "Hey, No way dudes, that's gunna blow hard".

If it?s a general USB problem on your system you should try and get the latest Bios for your motherboard. Also get the latest USB drives for the motherboard from the manufacture site.

I have the Virus TI Polar and I am also having problems. I can?t understand how Access could release this synth with so many bugs. I'm on my 3rd day with it and still not been able to get productive with it. I don?t want to have to send it back but if things don?t get better I have no choice!
