Got it installed. Upon loading Virus TI Snow VC, 'synching memory with virus' screen appears. Never seen that one before. It says on the screen "initializing virus ti and syncing memory. this might take a couple of seconds." but it took 3-4 mins. Is this normal? GUI slowness is still there. Seems to work fine other than those.

This is normal but should only happen once after you have installed a new version of the OS. A wonder that you've never noticed that before!?!

I've never noticed that before. Weird.

Installation went perfect here on XPsp3, SX3 and Ti1 Desktop.
The " amp-decay" bug is solved

I don't know
Just tested it for 1/2 hour without problems, but also I never experienced a sneeze with 3.0.3 or 3.0.4 (but have to say that I never use the virus for hours and hours in one time)

So sad, since 3.0.4 is impossible to make work VC with Reaper. Same for 3.0.5... it will never "link" with the VirusTI...

UPDATE:
I figured out that basically the VirusControlVST, with Reaper, is unable to put the hardware unit in the -SEQ MODE- so you have to do it manually holding together the two buttons MULTI/SINGLE. Doing that you get the VirusControlVST to communicate correctly with the hardware. SADLY this is only the begin of the hell.
Until you make one single automation lane over any knob you are kinda safe, when you make the 2nd one for another parameter (any parameter, both VST or CC messages) HELL COMES ON EARTH. The sound goes on frenzy and the hardware unit screams.

UPDATE 2 (IMPORTANT! CUBASE SLUGGISH GUI issue maybe found!):
Found out that is a GUI redrawing issue of the VST... Crazy but if i close the VC window the sound and automations works perfectly!
If i reopen it back the sound starts again to scream...
I attached the Reaper project showing the issue quite clearly. Just open the FX chain for the VirusTI channel and press the -UI- button (Reaper have the feature to disable, on request, the GUI of the VST, disabling it there is no issue with the VC but it becomes clearly unusable. click that button and the GUI of the VC comes back)
I think the issue is that the VC is asking excessive redrawing of the controls when it receives "automation commands" from the host (probably for syncronization?).
Marc or someone at Access could check it,
I DEFINITELY think this is the cause of "sluggish GUI" that affects also Cubase.

I am experiencing the same issue when I host the Virus in KORE. I have contacted technical support and they advise that there are no plans to include KORE as a host. Hopefully a future update will inadvertently fix this. After a lengthy session yesterday I am pleased to report that I am sneeze free.
