Virus TI 2 with Ableton Live 8.21 problems

  • Hello,
    Since i purchased a Virus TI 2, i have some problems with it.


    Here's the info of my setup


    Computer: PC
    Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula
    Processor: Intel Q9450 Quad Core 2.66
    Ram: 8 gig
    USB: Usb 2.0 Pci Card Startech PCI420USB with just the Virus pluged on it.
    OS Windows 7 64 Bit SP1
    Daw: Ableton Live 8.21
    Access Virus OS: 4.5.0.16 (the latest available)


    1- All the things that should be syncronized to midi clock (Arp, LFOs, Delay fx) sometimes stop to be synchronized for a short time. While the midi sequence is playing or when i play on my midi keyboard, the virus seams to lose the sync and than suddely return in sync.


    2- Sometimes, some notes are played Tight at the right time, but some other are played with a little lag.


    3- Frequently, when a midi sequence starts to play, the first notes are cutted a little bit. Like if the Virus was not ready to play the sequence. What i find weird about this, is that i leave a 4 empty bar before that midi sequence! so normaly it's not suppose to cause a problem.


    Can someone help me to solve this problem?


    Thank you!

  • Hey Alexwhite,


    Are you making sure to turn off the "live" button in Virus Control for playback? I find it's normal to get a little arp/lfo timing jitter here and there, but it usually adjusts (and stays that way) after a bit of use.


    I'm also using Live 8 and Windows 7 (albeit 32 bit).
