I am so annoyed after spending hours in the studio again to find out what could be wrong...
I own one of the first TI Pølar that were delivered and I have NEVER been able to get it into a really stable working condition when using it in TI mode with the plugin. (In standalone it's really fine since OS 2.5.something) I have tried the support again and again and, although they try to help me we seem to be getting nowhere.
My problems look like this:
I'm using an M-audio Lightbridge with 18 Channels I/O and newest Logic on 8-core MacPro (MacOS 10.6.5).
The system is very well equipped and, the TI aside, runs perfectly and is capable of huge workloads without clicks or dropouts.
When I use the TI the Virus seems to get more and more unstable. I experience clicks, arpeggiators running out of sync and when it gets worse stuck or missing notes and flickering lights. The TI plugin doesn't show any errors.
I have tried using the Macs USB and using a Sonnet USB card especially for the virus. I have changed cables, I have de-installed other drivers and Automap just for checking: no improvement.
When I do a reset at the TI (power down, power on holding ARP Edit) problems are gone for one to three play-runs of the song but then start to sneak in again.
When using the TI as the only audio interface things seem to work OK, but that can't be a solution really. (I had the same problems using a Yamaha mLAN card and a MotU 828mkII as audio interface, so it's not the Lightbridge I think.)
BTW: I now like to work at 96kHz sample rate. Problems are less when in 44,1kHz but still present.
Has anyone been there and come to a solution?
Maybe somebody in Munich could lend me a Virus to try out if it's my TI that's behaving badly?
Please help, I'm really frustrated with this fine-souding synth.
