This update apparently straightens the use of your TSC clock in timestamps.

Quote from microsoft..........

"Correct TSC synchronization
On some operating systems, the processor TSC may change the rate at which it counts. Additionally, the processor TSC may stop counting when specific processor power management features are used. On computers that have multiple processors, the TSC is typically the operating system hardware timer that supports calls to the kernel KeQueryPerformanceCounter function. When TSC does not increment monotonically, system components that use the kernel KeQueryPerformanceCounter function may not work correctly. To address this problem, Microsoft makes it possible for the ACPI Power Management Timer to be used as the operating system timer that supports the kernel KeQueryPerformanceCounter function. However, some programs may directly access the TSC by bypassing the Windows timer APIs. The multiple-processor Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) makes sure that the TSC registers on all processors on a multiple-processor computer remain closely synchronized. Therefore, access by system software that may be directed to different processors does not return different results. This change makes sure that the multiple-processor HAL continues to correctly synchronize the TSCs across all processors on a computer, even if the ACPI power management timer is used as the operating system hardware timer.

Just managed to save myself hours of manual wave capture and hand quantising stuff..
Had the usual 3 to 5 millisecond drift but the bad arp timing and the usb clicks are gone.
I've tested it for a week now with several old mixes known to have bad arp drift and clicks. All gone.
The thing for me is why my windows auto update didn't ever include this..?? Mad! Such a crucial fix.

Yeah man, VC works fine for me. The only issues I really have still are the occasional stuck note and satan saw, no clicks, pops, or GUI issues. Very rare I see those too.

This is the same over 3 different xp computers in my studio. SP1, SP2, Laptops, Athlons, Intels what ever. I mean I recorded a 7 piece band the other day on my partners 1.8Ghz laptop with an RME fireface at 24bit 96khz. Like hardware that works is just cool. Amazing even. Some people forget that when you buy stuff it is supposed to work.

For those still having problems with their VSTI projects.

DON'T BE MISLEAD BY THE ARPS SEEMINGLY WORKING IN THE TUTORIAL SX SONG. Mind the choice of their patches - percussive, discreet But the absolute hit for that matter is channel 5's "Dub Pad on Out 3+4" LOL!!

For reference solo just one arped channel, switch to this part in TI, and search for some other arpeggiated sound, preferably a lead type for a change. If now you notice that arp is out of sync at least you can be sure that the problem persists AND that it is not caused by maxing out the ti's DSProcessor. Listen for clicks and other artifacts. This is still the case with my TI.

I can’t see any progress in stability or sync since 1.09 or so, when the Satan Saw was finally calmed down (reappears also in standalone, but very seldom and rather quiet)

No, cracks are less frequent in VC.

-dedicated USB card, no improvement BTW

Hello,

When using virus control in Cubase sx 3.1.1.944, after a while, cubase returns a runtime error. It's a fresh XP sp2 system, audiophile 24/96, new usb cable, irq not shared.

szAppName : Cubasesx3.exe szAppVer : 3.1.1.944 szModName : hungapp
szModVer : 0.0.0.0 offset : 00000000

Did any of you received a runtime error?

Hey steve, welcome to the forum. what have you tried so far and what are the errors that you are getting?

Hi there! Im new to the forum, just got a TI desktop and theres something which is freaking me out.
Thing is, when I load a MIDI in FL of an arped melody and I load VC and I make a patch consisting of>
Osc 1: Hypersaw; -12 semitones; Density 9.0; Detune 95; Key Follow: Norm.
Osc 2: Same settings as Osc 1.
Osc 3: Saw; -12 semitones; Detune 102; Volume 100
Unison: Mode: 8; Spread 127; Detune 127; LFO phase: 0

No SUB OSC, No Noise nor Ring modulator; OSC 1/2 Balance at 0

AMP: 0 attack; 0 decay; 127 sustain; 48 release
Filter; Lowpass analog mode 1; env amount 74; 0 attack; 35 decay; 0 sustain; 0 release.

NO FX AT ALL

When I start to play, it start making all sort of pops, clicks and crackles :S it also plays the melody kind of wrong as if some notes delay or play before, I cant realize well. Thing is, I dont know what it is, I discovered that when I turn unison off, all this trouble goes away, but I cant believe the TI cant handle this patch, Im running just this patch in VC and im using FL8. Does this happens to someone else cause im getting really scared that the Virus do this, I cant believe it cant handle 1 patch

@ Pugface: Thank a ton for finding a fix. I have just managed to get my TI2 synced up using the virus ti plugin with this xp update
