Default TI Knob update rate

Hi,

Recently I have got back into my Virus TI Polar again and updated to OS4. Often I use the knobs to control softsynths etc. I have found something I think is strange... When I assign a virus knob to filter cutoff or pitch sweep on something - if I sweep the knob very quickly I can discern parameter stepping. This is not as obvious as it could be on a very digital sounding synth such as an SH-32. It seems to step in groups.

I'm no expert but... it seems to me Access have reduced the knob parameter update speed to probably reduce the load either on the synth or usb.

This is a real shame as it's a great controller otherwise, but I like to be able to sweep fast! Before anyone says try midi or the Virus itself - I have and I still hear it. I even reinstalled an older OS and the parameter speed was faster again. I also emailed Marc at Access but haven't heard from him yet.

Can anyone replicate/confirm this?

Cheers
