Hi welcome, I'm new here too.
I'm from Ballarat in Victoria and have really enjoyed my virus ti 2, had it for about 5 weeks now and have been pleased with the progress I have made with It using my Dell 1737 laptop, no reall USB issue although I can't get reliable latency @ 128 buffer.
Haven't had any glitches with the audio for a while, need to get spdif cable ATM using RCA and is over a meter long so sound could be improved. I had patches the we're drifting with arp modes wondering why, and found the I had the virus enabled to receive midi clock or sync in the midi sync pref in live, I unchecked this because virus control handles this Already, so I was confusing it I reckon.
Anyway look forward to chatting more to people on the forums to create good experiences with this synth.
