TI Polar & Cubase5 midi note length trouble, HELP ME!!!

  • Hello everyone! I'm using the TI Polar and Cubase 5 for quite a long time. And some time ago (maybe after some updates of the synth or of the cubase) i've got the following problem.


    As an example i have 2 midi tracks in my sequencer, connected to 2 midi channels of the TI, sound coming out of the 2 usb channels. Track1 plays 1/16 notes of say a bassline, Track2 plays longer notes of say a pad sound. Everything sounds good. I start editing either of tracks and sometimes get the following trouble.


    Track1 with the short notes start sound like 1/64 or 1/128 notes as if i make the midi notes shorter (or drop amp env decay and sustain to lower values?). While visibly i have no difference - amp env setup looks the same and note lengths in midi part stays 1/16. Just a note sounds significantly shorter than it is. Eventhough if i play the synth manually or even click the notes in the midi editor, everything still sounds okay, but if i draw any midi notes and start playback, it sounds wrong.


    I have not yet found any trigger of such an odd behaviour - it happens sometimes, it may not happen for a session, it may not even happen for several days or in different projects i'm working on... The problem goes away if i restart my sequencer or if i load another project and then come back to the previous one (it gives a mixer reset and reloads the VST shell, probably that helps).


    First i've got this trouble on my old machine under Win XP, now i've built completely new one on Win 8 and got the same problem. I've tried to update both Cubase and TI for the latest versions, nothing helped.


    Please help me! This drives me crazy and disturbs the music production process =( :cursing:

  • Next time this happens, try to pull out the USB connector that leads to the Virus, wait for the plugin display to change, then plug it back in. This makes the Virus drivers reset (and Cubase stay the same). If this doesn't solve the problem, it must be a Cubase bug. If it solves the problem, it can be either a Virus bug or a weird interaction between the Virus and Cubase.
    Good luck!
