Dear Access support
I figured out a problem with my Access Virus(TIOS 4.0.2.01 and previous versions) in combination with ProTools 8.0.3 cs2 LE (RTAS) and previous versions.
- Arp patches don't sync after all, it seems like they are out of the tempo range from the host.
It sounds like variable tempo changes self-contained to PT. The same thing for arps with or without "LIVE Mode".

Quoted from Marc (Access Music)
one of the core differences of protools HD and LE is that HD features auto latency compensation whereas LE doesn't. with HD protools takes care of the delay, with LE, the user has to by inserting delay compensation plug-ins. sparing a discussion why this all is and if it is a modern approach, this is what avid presents us with an nothing that can be changed from anybody but avid. but is this really what we're talking about here? the fact that LE does not feature delay compensation is well documented and for sure cannot be the problem you guys facing?
In protools HD, the delays are managed by inserting "invisible" delay plug-ins. those plug-ins only run in the DSP world, therefore they are not available to LE customers. the plug-ins report their latency to the host, the host has to deal with the latency, the plug-in cannot do that. the reason why you don't face the same problem with most other plug-ins is that they don't report latency (or a significant latency) to the host in the first place.

In other words: VC is not able to sync to the host with RTAS until Avid will change this. (LE and M-Powered only)
