You may well be right
without evidence and tests... all in my tiny little mind. But it does seem to sync better on Arps and midi clock more stable.
That makes the 2 of us then... mmm, Placebo tastes good anyway. Anyone else want some?

make sure it's in USB Update mode ?????
it says,
usb link established........but won't workNOT USB Link Established!
YOU MUST PUT IT IN USB UPDATE MODE! (I posted exactly how to do this.)
Well at least that's how I got it to work. -
I'm Tired, I'm Frustrated, and I GIVE UP!
This is exactly what happened to me...but I didn't give up and happy that it's working!
- Uninstall previous
- Turn off Virus
- Unplug all wires from Virus
- Reboot
- Begin installation
- (When prompted) Turn on Virus in USB Update mode. ( Plug in USB. Then Hold Exit and Plug it in)
- Look @ Virus screen and make sure it's in USB Update mode then click ok.
- RebootENJOY!

So far so Good.
After 1st install I got a BSOD.
I then realized I should have uninstalled the previous OS.After that, I tried to install 5.0.1 and it kept rolling back. After several attempts I realized that I didn't have it is USB Update mode.
After Putting it in USB Update mode (Plug in while holding Exit) It took.Once it was successfully installed I opened up a project I'm currently workin on in Cubase and everything was copacetic.
No audio artifacts like in the previous OS5 update.
IOW, So far So good....Oh yea, and the new filters are present
-Win7 64-bit
-Cubase 5
-Intel 3930k
-MSI BB XPower II
-Motu Midi Express

Hi does anyone have any patches that they would recommend i buy/download for my Ti
Looking for some dirty basses / mad leads and euphoric pads maybe??
Any suggestions much appreciated
ThanksTake a look here:
SoundDesign ForumThere are a few good links in there to exactly what you are looking for. Some free, others a little overpriced IMO but may be worth it to you...
-
the demos sound good, and i see you have many other packs..but 35 euro for 85 presets seems pricey..id happily buy a couple of packs for 20 euro each
let us know is you have a sale of some sort..and my wallet will be there!
cheers[font='Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif']Agreed, but I guess it's all relative.
For some this may be a good price for the time saved on creating their own patches.... For me, I would buy only if there was a combo price/discount as I would in reality only use a few patches from each set. -
Update. I figured it out. First I removed the new USB drivers for OS5 manually. Then reinstalled 4.5.3 again, set the Virus as ASIO host, changed the buffersize to 256 (from 128 ), switched back to RME ASIO and voilá - sweet Virus sound!
Yes, this is how I rolled mine back and I had posted it in another thread.
Glad you got it working and came back and posted your success.btw, I had the exact same issues....

I am most certainly not baiting you.. you made a statement that the only possible solution to using a Virus over USB is to buy a dedicated card. That is simply a false statement...
If you have an understanding of USB, or even have just browsed the forum then you will see that while it is preferable for the Virus to be the only device on a root hub, if you know what is connected, and the USB protocol of those connected devices then the strict requirement is that the Virus should be the only USB1.1 device on a root hub.... this is not related to the firmware of the Virus, nor VC.. but the hardware. Installing a dedicated PCI USB card is not required to meet those requirements..hence your statement is incorrect..
So why not leave out the fabrication and hyperbole and state what feature enhancement it is that you are suggesting.. alternatively, if you are having technical issues in integrating the Virus with your DAW then i suggest to post in the appropriate forum..after all, thousands of folks use this every day so the situation simply is not anything like as bad as you (mis)represent....
In essence, I would think you will get a far better reception of a feature request if you lose the negativity, stick to the facts and make a clear statement of what feature you think can be programmed into firmware/VC and why it would be a benefit.
regards, and peace out.Seems you have a hard time understanding that I've read a dedicated card was the only solution throughout the forum especially when your reasoning for 1 device on the root hub is the exact reason people have recommended a standalone USB card. But since you can't correlate the two so I'll just say Thx for the posts...
I'm having a hard time understanding the request - you want to use VC, but send MIDI notes and CC-s to the Virus using the physical MIDI in, such as connecting a MIDI controller? The MIDI is just a tiny fraction of the bandwidth, and the Audio takes up bandwidth even when the Virus is generating complete silence. If you want to reduce bandwidth maybe try to change the VC mode to "2 in / no out" (under "common").
If I misunderstood you please try to explain yourself again, try to give an example or a drawing of how you want to hook things up.I'm confused as well here. You can send midi out of any midi interface in/out of the virus for normal midi controlled operation. In ableton for instance you just send the midi to Virus Synth instead of Virus MIDI.
FB & nms, thx for the reply.
It's really not a I/O configuration issue as I have everything connected the way I want and the way they should be...I am attempting to use VC within Cubase but VC struggles to keep everything in time. So IMO, the solution is to allow us to send the Virus' MIDI functionality/communications Either via USB or the MIDI outputs.
It just seems that the arps and timing suffer badly within VC and USB connected but work perfectly via MIDI..so I figured if we could just let the MIDI travel via the MIDI connections & the timing could be perfect...Part of the solutions that I've read is to get a dedicated USB card or as you say changing the mode to a lower I/O configuration.
Now, Whether the reasoning is bandwidth or just physical connectivity issues may not be the core issue. The fact that VC timing works like scrambled eggs through the USB is.Maybe i'm pi**ed at the fact that all the solutions i've read so far for improving our $2000 piece of hardware's timing is to restrict the outputs or buy more stuff...ugh.. I hope I explained it a little better

You are absolutely, categorically, fundamentally and completely wrong in asserting the Virus requires a dedicated USB card.... it simply has no such requirement...
You're obviously trying to bait and I'm not biting.
I said "the only possible solution I have read is to purchase a dedicated USB card?"
All you have done in 2 posts in here is attempt to belittle my request for something that is "absolutely, categorically, fundamentally and completely" a problem w/our virus.
If you don't have the problem, yay for you but please refrain from the rest of us who are frustrated with this part of our Virus...thank you.oh, and feel free to chip in w/ a possible solution. thx.
-
I seem to have resolved this issue. I have plugged the Virus into a dedicated USB PCI Card I have on my computer. And I have installed the new OS5 without any problems
Nice!!
Can you let us know your setup and which card you decided to go with?
Thx. -
This forum is for feature requests, not rants.. FYI Access did not define the USB standard and there is no need to buy a dedicated USB card for a Virus. Given the bandwidth required and the isochronous transfer mode it is perfectly reasonable that the Virus requires to be the sole USB 1.1 device on a root hub.. go do the math calcuations to see why.
That was a feature request...
Allow the MIDI to be output via the MIDI ports.I guess you missed that part with all the actual reasons I gave on why it should be done...Yes, they were heated but still factual.
Ironically I did mention a dedicated USB card then you mention the exact reason why..
"it is perfectly reasonable that the Virus requires to be the sole USB 1.1 device on a root hub". lol.So yes the feature that I want is the ability to choose which way the MIDI get routed.....That would be a great feature!
-
This is by design; section locking is a feature of the VC editor and not a property of the patch itself. For the intended purpose (trying out different patches while keeping part of the settings intact), it makes perfect sense. How would it work if every patch had its own locking settings?
Yes but it sucks when you reload a song and everything that you had locked is unlocked

1.Which exact version of W7 are you using?
2. Which TI model are you using?
3.Are you getting the crackles regardless if the GUI of the VC is visible or not? In other words-does closing the VC plugin window eliminate the crackles?
4. What brand of graphics card are you using? Are you using the latest drivers for your graphics card?
5.Are you getting the crackles if the TI is your sound card or if you are using another USB audio interface? If so-which brand and model of the audio interface are you using and are its drivers up to date?
6.Which buffer size are you using? Does changing the buffer size followed by restarting your system eliminate the crackles?
7.Which sampling rate are you using? Does changing the sampling rate eliminate the crackles?
8.Which type of processor, motherboard and chipset are you using?
9. Which version of the TI audio driver is shown in the Device manager?Thank you for your cooperation!

I love my Virus but the VC arp is simply unbearable.
So, I decided to run a test.
I took a snapshot of the Virus' MIDI output (Yellow) along side a MIDI Arp VST (Orange) to see the difference in Timing.
These are not Quantized so you can see the difference in what is actually being spit out.
It's actually embarrassing for this to be this bad.This is the result :
[Blockierte Grafik: http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/9907/miditest2.png]You can clearly see a slant and notes that are out of sync where as the VST on the bottom has perfect timing.
Sad is that I'm playing 1 sound with NO FX.Yes, I tried different latency settings, outputs etc... but the Fact is,
We shouldn't have to jump through work arounds to get something so basic working.
IMO The ARP should be forced through the MIDI out because it's obvious the USB can't handle the throughput.Someone f'd up big time in the developement stage here. This MUST be fixed along with the arp falling out of sync....
Oh, and let's not forget that the Arp out only works on odd midi channels!!! ... What is that?
Please, Do us a favor, Stop adding all this other stuff and let's get the basics Working so we can just Plug N' Play!!
-
We should be allowed to use the USB for audio only and have all the MIDI routed via the MIDI ports.
The fact that there are so many issues syncing the VC it's obvious that the throughput is the culprit.We just spent $2000 on a Virus and the only possible solution I have read is to purchase a dedicated USB card? wow.
I upgraded from my Virus C mainly for intergration within my DAW and with all the "workarounds" we have to do just to make it semi-functional is ridiculous.Add to that the latency when one "prints" the audio....wow.
IMO, this can get fixed if MIDI handles the MIDI and the Audio via USB and Outputs. -
Any way you can send me an acapella of this so I can try a rmx?
I've been looking for a nice F/Vox to get some original rmxes done...THX
-
A new but related issue to this post has come up and I'd like confirmation if this how it's working for everyone.
When saving a patch, upon reloading, all the locked sections turn up unlocked. Is section locking not something that can be saved?
Thank you.
This is very annoying!
There are so many things wrong with using this as a VST that the amount of time one has to spend on workarounds is counter productive.
-
I guess a system retore would be an easy way if it works!
Too bad I took the scenic route lol.
I made sure I uninstalled from the CP and then checked to make sure the VST files were gone.
After reinstalling the older OS I too was experiencing the "Virus Not Found" in Cubase and in the CC.
I proceeded to move my USB cables, everything then when I unsinstalled the CC and reinstalled it everything from there went as it should have.
-
K, In order to get rid of the static you have to uninstall completely from the control panel and also make sure the VST Folder for access music is empty.
Then, re-install the previous OS.I've managed to get my setup back to where it was prior to OS5 and this is where it will stay until the next update/fix
Being it's a BETA one can't really Bch&Moan I just hope it gets fixed.
