so i am going to have to upgrade the OS again!!!! that's the 3rd time this week!!!
Don't get me wrong.. The Virus is a great machine and the new features are excellent.. Part of the reason why i bought it was because of Access as a company and their development of the virus range via firmware upgrades..
Do Access not have a testing department? Upgrading firmware should not be taken lightly.. I only do it if it is completely necessary..(same as a pc!)If it goes wrong, from my understanding we are not covered by the warranty..
I think i'll hold off till they get the bugs ironed out!!
I am not slating Access here, i am a loyal fan.. but i would rather wait and get an OS that is stable and functions fully, rather than flashing my ROM every other day!!
When you spend alot of cash on a synth.. you dont want to be messing about flashing a chip.. that can go horribly wrong!!! (speaking form PC experience here!)
Quality definately seems to be slipping !!!
I had a Korg Triton, OS 2.0 took atleast 6 months to be released.. but when it was, it was stable and did exactly what Korg said..
Access seem to be very keen to enhance the Virus (not a bad thing)..but come on guys.. i am sure your users would rather wait until thorough testing is done..instead of a new buggy os every month...
On a side note.. it would have been nice to know that you only need to install the first midi file to update the OS..as installing the second one wipes all the presets from bank C upwards..
So if you are already on OS 5 or above (with the 1024 sound expansion).. you only need to load the first os midi file!!! (i know i should have backed up my presets
)
well that's my tupence worth!!! I just dont need the hassle!!!
