Jumpy Knobs, Access cant seem to solve this one
 

Hi,

When i turn the knobs on my Virus B Rack it sometimes jumps to either full 127 or 0 depending on which way i turn them. It seems to do it more when i try turn them in small incerements.

I've emailed Access with this problem and they said that they had heard of the problem before and were busy trying to recreate it. I have had no response since.

Does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks

Mick

Hi,

Yeah I do remember my Virus doing this at one stage, Infact it may still be happening to a lesser extent.....I find if If turn the knob it will work OK up down yeah Ok.....then randomly just jump up to 127...hmmm Infact if I twist and turn the filter whilst playing a patch it will jump to 127 or whatever its just like it resets itself...is this what you mean?

What Parameters do you find do this Specifically...What OS do you load the T version????

All, I can say is try updating to the OS..disabling all sysex operation and disconnect from your PC, Sequencer ( I had trouble with the Sound Diver creating full on errors in the unit) Then try it....

Im going to try it out this weekend and the load the older OS and see if it still happens then...!!!

The problem has been there through a few OS updates and hasnt changed when updating the OS. It is also the same when my virus is totally disconnected from my computer and running on its own. The first two knobs are the most jumpy (filt 1 and filt 2) probably because they are the most used. I've tried changing the pots around but this didnt help either.

i also have a virus rack clasic and have the exact same problem
recording automation is hell takes me 5 minutes to get it right and then i give up and use velocity to controll the filters :D
hope they'l fix it in the next os

also filter 1 and 2 are cousing the most trouble

Ever thought to draw automations in the sequencer?

dont have the controllers number
microdot do you have the controller list?

Ever thought to read the manual, sonny?

Yep find the necessary controller values here:

Unfortunately I want to be able to tweak these suckers in realtime...LIVE

Has anyone tried controlling the knobs using an external hardware controller??? I reckn its the knobs....

I hope this gets fixed...I wrote to Access about this and about my LCD issue and they said...Duh...nah there is no update that fixes this that we know of..

Bump... :lol:

I wanna keep this one near the top...hope some one from Access sees it....
