I always use VC but I don't think VC is related to the problem because I've seen it crash regularly when it's just sitting on my desk and the USB cable isn't even plugged in.

You always use VC, yet it was turned on and not plugged into USB?
I don't understand why you would do that.
My TI has never crashed when not in use ie notes playing, and I've had it since the day they came out.

Because that's a very easy way to tell if it's a problem with the virus and/or virus OS or a problem with my computer and/or VC. I unplugged the USB cord and did arp edit + power the virus on while the USB was still disconnected just to be sure. Left it there for about 10 minutes and it crashed. Done multiple tests that way with the same results each time too, so there's no way it's a fluke or anything.

It's 3.0.3.0 on a TI2 Desktop. I am not using the VC but runs it with a HW sequencer.

Sounds like a sensible test Sonis, I leave the USB plugged in all the time, even though I do most of my editing and performing on the hardware.

I am feeling increasingly lucky for my own experience of Virus synths over the years,
In particular I feel really sorry for those who have bought the TI2 "updated" version and found it has worse bugs than the TI currently.

That said, the original TI had much worse, showstopping bugs for the first year or 18 months,
I expect the full power of TI2 will be revealed soon (couple more patches down the road).

Well, I took a trip down Analog Lane and didn't care too much for it. So, I have backtracked to my original obsession; I have ordered an Access TI2 Polar. Can't wait...

Should make a nice compliment to my XS6... Wish me luck guys!!

I like to experiement alote and for sure not stable for me as an effect unit in stand alone mode-OS 3.0.3 TI MK1...Was spinning with Serato and right out of the mixer staight into Virus (Ableton Live also open..).I think the crashing maybe has to do with me switching the atomiser on & off so i can tongle between atomiser & stand alone effects.
Can anyone confirm it?

Might be part of it but I never use atomizer and I still have rampant crashing problems with 3.0.3. My virus will crash when it's sitting completely idle with no USB cord even plugged in.

Wow...
Let's hope Access is all over this and fix it...

Yeah I've been waiting over a month now, and my last question to support asking for an update has gone unanswered for 4 days now. I've been thoroughly unimpressed with their support to be honest.

If the synth didn't sound so good when it works I would have sent it back a long time ago.
