Well, I just don't believe them at this moment as there is definitely a problem with the amounts of parts and hiss within patches for a vast deal of us....and as you and they explains...the problems are exactly the same.
Even a technician friend of mine who runs a shop got the same problems with hiss and multitimbrality issues!

Obviously those with problems on forums will appear the most vocal, but its hard to grasp exactly what percentage of TI users that genuinely represents.
Anyways, my two friends in question are Paul Moelands and Envio, who've had various trance releases under labels like Armada, so I trust their judgement.
At most Paul said he'd experienced a hung note once every 4 hours, but that otherwise his Desktop with 1.1beta was very stable. Same story with Envio (both running USB mode mind, but no issues in playing solo standalone like I have)
Which again just makes the picture very confusing, is there a HUGE dodgy batch of machines out there?!?. If there is, my god I wouldn't want to be in Access's shoes right now. I mean how do you know which works and which doesn't.
Can they trace it down to a batch range and if so, be brave (and indeed apropriate) enough to make a full on product recall!, instead of just waiting for users to send in bug reports to keep it hush hush.
If it is OS based, again, why such differeing problems?. Like i say, Envio and Paul know how to push a machine hard for trance stuff, I really don't think they're lying about the performance, both suffered problems with 0.9 and 1.1 fixed it for them.
Certainly there is absolutely no reason why a synth of this power can't be 100% crash free stable in midi mode at least.
I have another synth here, it also has flash based OS, is very powerful, individual fx per part. I'm talkin about the Supernova II, best synth novation ever made (shame its no longer in production). I'd never ever sell mine, its much older design than the Virus, but still stands up to the best. But the best part of all about that synth?, it has never crashed out on me once, not ONCE, in the years I've had it.
I thought the Virus would complement it perfectly in my setup with its own flavour of sound, that is of course, if it worked!
Soo.. i have a big decision to make. Wait for a fix (be it OS or machine replacement), or.. get a Virus Classic.... or, get out now while i can, get my money back, buy something else entirely.
The fact others have waited so long for a similar holy grail of stability is what puts me off waiting for everything to be fixed :/
Still waiting further feedback from access support...
