Hi everyone,

just two hours ago, my TI2 Polar arrived. WHAT A FRIGGIN' BEAUTY!

Anyway, after playing it a bit, I disconnected my TI1 desktop, connected the Polar, shoveled up the newest beta OS and drivers and ran into an annoyance:

- After Logic had loaded its Autoload, VC synced all RAM and ROM banks with the TI, which took quite a while.
- Then I loaded an older song which used sounds from the previous beta release. VC synced again for 15 minutes!
- After that, I loaded a newer song, based on the aforementioned Autoload. VC synced once again.
- Now I 've just opened a new project, loading my Autoload again - and it syncs again.

ARGH!

Why's that? What can I do against it? At least the change from the newest song to the Autoload shouldn't have synced, should it?

Or should I have uninstalled the previous drivers and VC first - it was used with the TI1. Is there a conflict? Old TI1 files hanging around, being different from the TI2 files or something?

Best regards,

Christian

*gurgle*

After this last sync, I deactivated the VC plug-in from the channel strip an re-activated it without having closed the Autoload or anything - and it re-syncs again!!!

It seems as if VC doesn't realize it has synced seven times now...

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Marc,

cheers... I'm just backing up and then send the file to the address you mentioned.

Can I afterwards repair permissions? Is there hope that it fixes my problem? If it doesn't: What else can one do?

Best regards,

Oh dear... repaired permissions - didn't help... uninstalled and re-installed - didn't help! That's real bad - or call it unusable: It syncs every time I open the plug-in or a song that uses it. Same with MainStage by the way...

Do you know what's causing it? Is there a chance that another OS version fixes this?

*sniff*

Well, no studio productions, that is... Just playing... That's nice, too, but not for long, I guess.

Best,

Christian

Hi Marc,

this might be interesting for support:

- I looked through all TI-related files and preferences, e.g. in Application Support folders etc.
- In my frustration, I started Control Center again and re-installed OS 3.3 beta.
- It also wrote a lot of banks to the TI2
- Afterwards, I looked up the Application Support folder again to check on recently changed files. A new folder had been created that had not been there before: Cache > strange number (serial?) > ROM Banks A-Z

Here's a picture:



Now, Logic only synced the RAM banks which took a few minutes rather than 15-20.

So maybe, these caches had not been written before, VC didn't find them and hence synced again.

I also just realised that now, after Logic's RAM bank sync, the RAM banks are also listed in the cache folder.

These questions remain:

- What'll happen when I restart the plug-in? Tell ya in a minute... Re-instantiating the plug-in does NOT sync again! Not even RAM banks...
- What'll happen when I restart Logic or any other plug-in host?... Main Stage: No re-sync! Logic: No re-sync! Yipiiiiiiieeee!!!
- What'll happen tomorrow, after a good night's sleep and reboot? We'll see... I'm rather tired... Hope this helped so far...

Best regards,

Christian

Okay, even after one night of sleep, the TI doesn't sync repeatedly. Problem seems to be solved...

Best regards,

Christian
