Virus TI out of tune?
 

Hi all

I have a Virus TI KB with OS 3.0.3.00 installed.

I bought it used recently, but now I realize that the synth is not in tune?!
It affects all the sounds - and they all seem to be half a note + some semitones below the tune they should be in.

How can that be?

Transpose is set to "0".
Master Tuning is set to "0".
Pure Tuning is set to "Tempered".

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Unplug the power cable from the unit, hold down the EDIT button in the ARP section, and then plug the power cable back in while you continue to hold the EDIT button. There will be flashing lights, then you can let the button go.

Tuning should be back to normal then.

is your virus out of tune, even when you use it stand alone?

best, marc

I had a similar problem, turned out to be a clock issue.
Switch the sampling frequency to 48 and back to 44.1, this fixed it for me.

is this with 3.0.3 or an earlier version?

No, that was before I upgraded to 3.0.3.

Marc, if you're interested in details:
At home, my Virus is synced to the soundcard (Motu Ultralite mk3). I don't know exactly what happened - apparently, the soundcard inadvertently switched the virus to 48 kHz. When I unplugged it and went to a gig, it was out of tune. I was desperately rebooting the Virus (as was suggested to the OP) and checking global tuning - until it occurred to me to check the sampling rate. Two clicks and voila! it was back to normal.

Anyway, what I've learned is: if your Virus is 1.5 semitones out of tune, it must be confused about its sampling rate. snifx, please let me know if this helps you.

best regards,
Boris.

the problem should have been solved in 3.0.3. i'm trying to find out, if the problem persists. no details necessary, but thanks anyway

I've had the problem as well for the first time in 3.00.3
It stated after i imported a 48khz file and my Cubase clock was changed
when opneing a new project the tuning stayed off. Yogether with losing sync and chocking and recovering.

the reset function did the trick.

Thanks for all your replies!

The sampling frequency seemed to be the problem - even though I am using OS 3.0.3.
After switching back and forth between 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz the problem disappeared!

Thanks again! :p
