im at my wits end about this. i just dont know why this happens and i just cant use my virus. i still havent used it in a song and ive had it for 3 weeks. tech support has not helped. so ill let you hear what my virus sounds like and maybe you can see where im going wrong...
1) this is the most recent song ive been working on. i have provided 2 loops. the first loop is all software using reaktor for the lead. the offbeat bassline is a wav file that was bounced down from vanguard. 160 bpm. FL studio is forcing midi clock. CPU load is about 80%. its at the point where if i add any more, my ASIO drivers crash my PC *HARD*. theres another vanguard in there but i cant enable it because if i do and press play it will crash my PC and make it stutter to death. everything here is in time so this is what it should sound like:

2) this is a preset on my virus playing the exact same notes of the reaktor lead in the first clip. its exactly the same tempo (160 bpm). FL studio is forcing midi clock. this is playing just the lead in the same file i used to sequence the song so the CPU load is exactly the same (about 80%ish)

moving the mouse around makes this worse. i did move the mouse whilst this was playing and it serious fucks up the sound. as you can tell - its quite hard to monitor this. i can play it with the drums and the bassline too if you wanna hear it but it gives you a headache. its even more fucked up than this one.
i really dont know what to do. i cant build multi timbred patches on the virus cuz multi mode is fucked. i cant get my virus to sync properly in any of my songs cuz it sounds fucked. i have a ?400 peice of kit sitting on my desk and i have no use for it. i can build better patches with vanguard. i can layer vanguards to achieve multi timbred patches. it plays in time! i cant do any of this with my virus. can someone please help me? ive sat for hours googling 'fl studio midi sync' and 'fl studio hardware synth' and 'fl studio midi virus.' ive contacted m-audio. i contacted access. ive signed up to about 4 different forums posing this problem. i cant be the only person who gets this? can i?
NOTE: the virus plays back ok when i have 0 cpu load. it actually sounds sort of on time but there is a lag to it so i cant play it layered with the reaktor lead in realtime for example. the higher the cpu load, the more fucked up the virus sounds.
