A collection of questions for anyone who knows

It seems there are certain sounds that contain illegal values which are causing these problems, Syrys BC is known - please send me a list of any others you find and I will make sure they are fixed for the next release.

Is anyone else able to save individual sounds with their songs via sysex transfer? If so, are you doing the sysex dump via midi cable or over usb?

Yes, Arrangement Dumps works fine for me with either usb midi or normal midi.

3. System Reset. In the virus C there was a way to reinitialize the synth (if there were problems) by holding down a key when powering on. Ben had stated that I should do a soft power down (normal method) plus hold the arp edit button, but this didn't seem to do anything related to a system reset. Can anyone else do a system reset this way?

Soft Power Off, so that the TI is in Standby. Then press and hold Arp Edit for a second or two. You should see the BPM and Osc Vol LEDs flash. The TI is now reset.

4. In the virus control - when copying a sound from one part to the other, (via drag and drop) it doesn't copy the sound with all the tweaks I made to it. Rather it just copies the original sound (prior to tweaks) Is this normal. Ex. I have a sound in part one - I tweak it heavily. Now I would like to load that same exact tweaked sound into part two to control from another midi track. In the VC I highlight first part sound (tweaked), drag and drop it into part 2. I honestly would think it would be the same exact (tweaked) sound, but rather it reverts to the original sound (before tweaks) for part 2. I suppose I can just save the tweaked sound to a ram slot and then reload it into part 2, but the drag and drop would be much faster.

I'd be surprised if none of the tweaks are copied? There is an issue with some of the filter envelope parameters in this situation, but that has been identified and a fix is forthcoming. Other than these parameters, I can drag/drop tweaked patches between parts just fine?

Could this be why the Illegal RAM message shows up?

I passed on buying one of these today as it had the error message Illegal RAM Battery??? We tried replacing the RAM battery at the shop and still got the same message.

Thank you!
