I have also noticed that when tweaking some parameters in virus control (eg ring mod) led to silent patches, something that didn't happened when tweaking the hardware..

what kind of setup do you use?

doh - you're using cubase 2.2 ! - i would be very surprised if you would get any other result with the arpeggiator...

you _need_ to use cubase sx 3.1 in order to make this work. and by the way, you should use XP service pack 2 as well.

I know that sx2 is not officially supported, but I was using the TI with midi since 109 and got the same result.I'll try it with midi again and tell you my impressions.
As for sx 3.01 and sp2, I have a rock solid system which has to crash for years and I dont want to mess it with sp2 which needs a clean windows install and 2 days of reformating and re-installing programs in my hard disk.
Cubase sx 3.0.1 is pretty unstable especially with my 2.2 projects. As I am on a cd release deadline the last thing I imagine is building my system from the begining. Can you recommend a specific microsoft update for usb2 before sp2? I'd like to give it a try

I've just tested the arp behavior with sx 3.1.1.994 (up+dn mode) and got the
same result with sx 2.2.0.33.

I will make sure to try that out tonight

One other improvement I have noticed is that previously VirusControl would Be unresponsive and take ages to redraw during every Hardware knob twist. This is no longer the case - very smooth!

So far so good with OS1.0.9

Looking forward to passing inputs through those filters via USB...

working in Sonar 5.01...

patch sync is much quicker now (<5 seconds) seems to only grab changes.

VC is MUCH smoother responding to changes on the hardware. when you twist a knob, you know it!

latency is slightly better (but still mostly unplayable for percussive or sharp attack synths)

didnt notice this before but the decay and release segments are non-linear, while the attack is linear. maybe thats just graphics?

freeze still not working (known issue though)

DIY: The Ring mod on the fx page is the ring mod accessed by pressing lower fx edit (I think). The internal osc ring mod is on the OSC page.

Please could you send me a copy of the project? I'd like to test it here.
