Next stable release? - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Anybody have any idea when the next stable release is coming for the TI's?

Have had the beta on my Mac for a few months now, looking for Access to finally work the kinks out.

They usually keep schtum as to dates of new versions, etc.

Which kinks would you like to see ironed out?

I will get random pops/clicks in my audio, sometimes the Virus will crash my DAW. I use Pro Tools LE 8 and Logic Studio 9, the 3.3 beta simply won't even operate in Pro Tools and in Logic I'll get the errors i just spoke of. I have a Mac, just switched from a PC. On a PC the synth wasn't even tolerable, crashes and sync problems left and right, and that was WITH a dedicated PCIe USB card. I don't have one on my Mac, but to be honest I'm skeptical as to how big of a difference it really makes. I understand very well that it has solved a lot of problems for a lot of people, that's great. But in my past experience as stated above, it helped; didn't cure. The performance pre and post PCIe card in my old PC didn't produce much difference to speak of (and for the record, I was running a Core 2 Quad with 8gb of ram, Windows XP). I consider myself a pretty patient person, I love my Virus and can't wait for a day when operating it is bug free....but c'mon....seriously? It's been a second.

Why are you running beta? What was wrong with 3.1 for you?

the snow leopard support for me

Well I guess your problems are the price to be paid for running a recently released os.
I'll probably upgrade this time next year when things are ironed out.
Although nothing in S.leopard is worth it to me to sacrifice stability, to each their own I guess...

My mac came pre installed with Snow Leopard, I'm not about to backdate my OS for this synth to run.

Digidesign of all companies has even beat Access to solid support for Snow Leopard.....that says something.

Really wish Access would get on the ball

You couldn't even install an older OS if you wanted to.

Yeah, that really chaffs my ass about apple. When I got my MB Pro I wanted
to install Tiger, but no it wouldn't even boot.

That sucks. Just be patient, access is good about updates.
But whether it's stable or not...we'll see.

I'm most certainly going to keep my head up and be patient, this is one of the nicest synths i've ever used and for that reason alone I tip my hat to Access..
