Nice call... I excused it as being some kind of a factory reset button thingy, then placed an SEP field around it.

I find it very funny, since people who are used to recording and mixing in analog studios find it very natural, since you have only one (OK maybe 2) of each piece of gear, each time you need an effect or to record a channel you create a new route (effect send or whatever) and commit to tape... Everything is solved by routing as opposed to doing it in the box where you can create as many instances as you like of pure S/W objects. Well, this is what happens when the two worlds collide...

Here is a capture from http://abletonlife.com/setting…eferences-in-ableton-live. Is your buffer size, under latency, set the same way?

I saw the override trick done in R.E.A.P.E.R. - a trial version of which is downloadable for free.

I see. Well, I still would love to get the official version from Access officials...

Regarding the annoying "odd buffer" message, leave the sound card driver at the working minimum (3ms?) and look in your DAW S/W ASIO configuration if it can override the card's initial settings by explicitly asking for a packet size of 512, 256 or even 128 if you're lucky.
Good luck

The modulation matrix destination values are %s because they control the extent the value of the modulation source modulates the destination - so if the source value range is too much or too little for the desired result it can be adjusted, in other words, using your ears is the best way.
LFO1 has a default routing to OCS1 and 2 pitch (page 1/3 of its panel menu), when set to ENV mode it can be considered a dedicated pitch envelope.

Did you just install it or did it work before?
Upon installing for the first time you are supposed to first install the S/W and then connect the Virus when asked. If you forgot to do that you might have to manually remove the improper installation.
If it did work - try to uninstall/reinstall.

Sounds like your display controller chip wend mad. Did you leave your Virus connected to its power supply when you left? I was never sure what to do in this situation. Now I hope to learn from your experience and do the exact opposite...

The picture I get when I dial semitones on a synched OSC2 makes sense to me: OSC2's cycle ends before its time (or after a few cycles too many) and it looks much like messing with the PWM %. I expected detune to do the same, only on a much finer level. The worst thing I imagined was to find a hidden LFO in there so that the picture would not be "stable" - but instead I saw this spike, or impulse, after which the the square wave shape continues to its full cycle.
Also I didn't understand the "band limited" part of your explanation, as we are dealing with the time domain here and not the frequency domain, so if you'd care to ellaborate...

Starting from the init patch, when I enable sync1>2 and set OSC2 to square, OSC2 outputs into the OSC1/2 mix, a square wave with a spike in the middle of the low half of the square shape, something like this: /¯¯¯\_^_/
The position of the spike seems to be controlled by the detune parameter, when it is set to 0 it merges with the middle of the wave, so it can be avoided so it is not all that bad, and I admit this makes a more interesting wave, but it doesn't look like it's intentional, is it? Can anyone else reproduce this?

Did you try adding a generic remote to the cubase device setup?

It should be the same as buying a dedicated USB PCI(x) card for your desktop PC/Mac, to be used only with the Virus, which people have reported to improve their situation.

But does lowering the master volume help? If it does, then probably the Virus is not the problem.
Anyway, it could be that it is just time to service it. Another thing is that sometimes the OS upgrade does not go well the first time and you need to do it again.

Zitat von thatbass

WIth using Remote Mode though.I would be putting the remote setup globally across all 16 channels

That is controllable in most DAWs through MIDI routing, say, the Virus outputs to MIDI ch1, you are sending MIDI control messages Nos. 14, 15, 16 and 17 using four different knobs. You need to see if you can route rule-based or route and filter messages so that 14 goes to channel 1, 15 to channel 2 etc. feeding back to the Virus, where there are patches waiting with matrix routings to control a virus parameter with the MIDI control you sent to the patch's channel.
Sounds tedious, I know, it would have been nice if Access would have let us choose what channel to send each knob data on.

Reinstalling the virus S/W sounds a bit scary, but maybe I can look inside the .cab (or whatever) file and pull it out. Another way would be to ask Windows to create a new .mid file. Hopefully it would be acceptable by Virus Control. But still these are all workarounds, and I would be much happier if Access had that option built in.

...when notes start hanging try pressing the panic button instead of turning-off-then-on-again, it might save you time. Anyway, I hope you'll find a solution for your problem soon.

But then they will show up as patches without names, won't they? I'm well aware of the workarounds. I'm just asking for a straight forward way to do it.

Thanks, I thought about that. Actually the problem is that I want to create a new collection of just a few patches from here and there, but nothing else besides that. Not enough patches to overwrite all those I already have in "My Patches.mid".

If you'd like to glide away from the starting pitch and then return back to it, you can use a triangular wave in env LFO mode (you will have to adjust phase to start and end at the low points) and route its output using the matrix in unipolar mode (that's a new OS4.5 feature) to the pitch of the oscillator. if you can't use the unipolar mode you will have to compensate with a higher pitch to your oscillator.

If on the other hand you would like to glide from a given offset to the "right" pitch, then use a sawtooth in the manner describrd above.

...once my "My Patches.mid" file is filled with 128 patches, or does it exist and I missed it?
A way to rename an existing .mid without navigating the folder tree structure would be nice as well.

OK, I found it at last - it was hiding at the very bottom of the per-channel [SAVE] button patch list. It doesn't appear in the [LOAD] button list which is similar but not quite. So, what I would suggest is to put it first. It's just one option, it wouldn't bother anyone, but at the same time no one would miss it...
