high frequency clicks on pad sounds

[steamyb]

Hi
Can anyone verify my problem.

I use my TI in standalone mode sequenced by an MPC2500.

However I'm getting pops or crackles through the analog, headphone and digital outs on certain sounds (mainly pads).


Can some one try this for me plz.

1. open patch ROM-R 61 Kismet M
2. hold key C4 for about 20 seconds.
3. listen for high frequency clicks.

I've contacted Access regarding this and they're looking into it.

Altering patch level makes no difference.


Your results would be a help.

Cheers you wonderful peeps.

Thanx for your input Khazul.

Will let you know what Access are doing as soon as I find out.

Nice studio mate and good to see you read my favourite mag.

Hi Peeps,

I own a Virus Ti Polar (my 2nd unit). What a great sounding / looking synth.

I get some clicks on those same patches as well as these:

> ROM O 127 Zeepad SV (little clicks as you play some notes)
> ROM F 19 Cremoma HS (Hold a chord down a few seconds)
> ROM B 49 Halo MS (again some clicks)

I use my Virus Ti Polar through headphones and main outputs 1&2. No USB connected - Standalone.

Os 2.0.5

Please confirm guys?

Cheers.

This is what I'm getting also.

I'm sure they probably are happening in other patches but because of the nature of them you physically can't hear the clicks.

I sometimes hear them via the digital inputs into the TI.

I monitor via headphones and analogue outs also!


Access have been informed of this by myself however I still have had no feedback as of yet.

Hi Steamy B,

Did you hear any pops on ROM B 49 Halo MS? Please check this for me. It does take a while to hear, so please be patient. Play some random notes and you will hear tiny clicks through headphones.

Atleast Access are aware about these clicks, so i'm not so worried. Plus i have found many decent patches that don't click, like some cool pads and leads, etc.

Some ROM banks are solid, whilst some ROM banks have a few patches with clicks (all in Standalone with no USB - i just don't get it

I have been told that 'some clicks' are expected when changing from a patch to another patch (due to parameter changes), and also some clicks appear when moving any 'knobs' due to digital parameter changes.

But...some say that OS 1.2.3 was click free, which i have not tried yet! If this is true, then it has to be a software problem and not a hardware one.

Stay in touch.

Cheers.

Yup you're right Groove66

Although this patch is very temporamental.
It took ages to get clicks but they became evident using key velocity.

I've rolled back to 1.23 but I still got the same clicks however I didn't originally notice them till after version 2.0 was released.

I wondered if it had anything to do with the new oscillators however I ruled that out as the roll back to 1.23 didn't remove them.

I also get the clicks on inputs into the TI via S/PDif

I'm still waiting for a reply Access!!!!!!

Will keep you informed Groove

Thanks Steamy B for confirming this.

It seems that we have a bunch of TI users who are a little too protective about bad rep, those who seem to stand by thier Virus Ti's and claim to hear no pops and clicks, which is complete rubbish imho.

If Access know about it, and they claim to be able to reproduce the same clicks on reported patch names, then it seems that it's across the board on all units from desktop to polar ti.

I have asked a few users on the net, and some of them say they have no clicks, which i seriously doubt. They must be deaf honestly, i would really love to prove them wrong.

Who knows, maybe these few people work for access
