Anyone can advice me? Do you recommand to send it in germany? I get in touch with access official repair team and they seem to be OK.
Yes, send the VirusBut I will have to pack my virus, pay for 100€ shipping and wait until I know if my kb is down or still alive...
100€ is pretty expensive. Are you sending urgent or something? -
I fixed it!!!
thanks to all for help))
Please explain how, so other can get guideline -
Another question :
. Do you think my problem could come from the internal battery inside the virus which has to be changed every 4/5 years?
I don't think so -
There are reported issues with unstability with this beta OS... Try downgrading and search for similar threads, because apparently it's not an easy task to really downgrade to 4.5.3 You have to manually delete drivers, registry keys and so on
-
There are reported issues (but on Windows 7) where the audio is screwed... also take in consideration the OS 5 is still beta. OS 4.5.3 is latest "stable" (I couldn't resist :D)

you'll likely need to send your Polar to Germany. This is your nearest service center:

I saw people adding attachments to messages, but I have no idea how they did it.
At least in my case, I only have access to attachments options (at the bottom of the page, where you see Smileys/Settings/<Attachments>/Poll on the Public forum. For the Private forum, the option won't be available. Maybe an incorrect configuration of the forums... -
I have no problem sharing the patch with anybody. However, I don't have any account for any filesharing service and don't want to create one just for this. Also it would be nice if the recipient could send one of his personal (non-commercial) patches in return. So, I'd prefer sending the mid file via e-mail (preferrably the one in your vCard in your access account).
There's no need to upload the MID file, and you can link pics here -
Filter the Programs for the "Drums" category and take a look. There are plenty of programs like this and then you can use the VC to create arpeggios in order to create nice drum tracks.

That's a good starting price!

I explained there that you can connect Virus to Motif XF by MIDI instead of using USB between Virus and the computer...

The keys have some plastic pieces below which I think allow for a semi weighted or a more solid feel. When I was looking for controllers, my main decision point was the feel of the action. Everything else was secondary to me.
I don't like springy, loose, noisy or cheap actions. The action of the virus indeed qualify pretty high and this considering I prefer high quality weighted actions. I also like the Akai action, so maybe we share preferences regarding a good keybed. It's likely you'll love the action of the Virus.
For sure your best bet is the Pølar.

Am I going to be at a disadvantage not having the TI2 Desktop controls and display right in front of me when I'm working, or is that stuff mainly for designing/tweaking patches?
If you'll be using the Virus from the computer, you don't really need direct access to the knobs. You can use the VC instead.Is there any performance difference between the Polar and Desktop, in terms of tracking/recording? Specifically, would I be more at risk of hitting recording latency when controlling a TI2 Desktop from my MPK49 than I would playing a Polar's built-in keyboard? I have lots of VSTis, which work just fine, latency-wise, for live recording from the MIDI controller, and several non-USB vintage MIDI external instruments where you can just barely feel the gap. I've never used a modern USB external synth before, so I don't know what to expect in terms of live play.
There's no difference in performance but the MIDI data would go from Akai -> computer -> Virus except if you directly connect a MIDI cable between the Akai and the Virus.If money is no object, I would buy the Pølar because the keybed is great (also with after touch) and right now I'm lying in the bed with my Virus and headphones. No need to have a computer (I'm writing from my iPod), no need to have a controller and MIDI cables and now I have direct access to design sounds an to play immediately. I usually play 88 keys (weighted action) but I really like this format (37 keys) because of the portability.
Once I also had a Snow but didn't like it because the lack of keys (I got a template for my controllers, therefore the lack of knobs was no real issue) I tried many controllers and I never liked the feel of the action, except for the Novation ReMOTE and the Akai MPK (but I think Virus is better). However, I didn't like the requirement to plug the Snow, plug the MIDI cable, power on the controller just to play.

There's a world of difference with the TI guide. After checking the C guide, the manual for TI is like a c...p
So Access can do a much better job for the documentation, and we have proves with previous manuals

Because Musician's Friend (and many others) usually has special promotions giving away a 15% discount (we just had the 4th of July promotion), and therefore you get the same price you have. Considering that, I would first buy new from them before paying the same for yours. I think you have to set the price considering that it's usual to get a 15% discount

For multitimbral operation, use Multi mode. In order for your intended setup to work, you must make sure that the Viris is responding in the MIDI channels where the external sequencer is sending data. Try simple MIDI connection this way: External SeqencerIDI Out -> Virus MIDI In
