Hi Guys
I've only had my Virus Desktop TI2 a couple of days & after the initial first day excitement I put my Virus to one side while I finished off another project I was working on.
I've came back to the Virus today & the first thing I did when I turned it on was try & audition some patches using the shift & audition button.
The first patch I tried was ROM R 124 UndawrldXM this sounded good then I moved to ROM R 126 WarMonger. When I pressed the shift & audition buttons the virus made a terrible buzzing noise which wouldn't stop, not even when I pressed the mono & sync "panic" buttons. I had to turn the Virus off & on again.
I thought that maybe this was happening because I was running it stand alone so I fired up Logic & opened up the TI control, selected ROM R 126 & it seemed to sound like a proper patch - nothing like the horrible buzzing from before.
Maybe it was a glitch after all, I moved onto explore other patches but thought I should run it through Logic to be safe.
I selected the Old School patch under the Acid menu, set up a loop then sat down with the machine in front of me and started twiddling knobs. I was only about 5 minutes into this when I started to hear a random crackle every now & then, it was only a 4 bar loop & the crackle wasn't regular enough to be the result of my knob twiddling as I couldn't replicate it at will. I thought it might have been some interference from somewhere so carried on playing around with the patch.
A few minutes later Logic crashed saying that the Virus Control centre had caused it to shut down. I sent the report to Apple but like a fool didn't think of sending it to Access, I'm worried now that there might be something wrong with my machine. I've only had it a few days & installed the latest OS 4.0.5.01 from the website before doing anything else.
Are these machines this temperamental normally or does it sound like I have a problem?
