This is the most boring thread ever

Have you installed Virus Control?

Does it happen in standalone?

I haven’t been able to stay logged in on mobile forcing me to sign in every time.

I haven’t been able to sign in on desktop at all for a very long time. It takes my credentials but I’m still not signed in.

Click Rescan in Ableton preferences?

This is fantastic. Thank you.

The Panic key combo may help.

Constant Offsets

The internal resolution of the parameters in the Virus sound engine is 24-bit, which theoretically allows for approximately 16 million different values for each continuously variable parameter. The MIDI specification, however, only allows for a resolution of 128 values per parameter.

Now, in most situations, a resolution of 128 values is plenty, as it still allows you to get “close enough for government work”. There are occasions, however, when you might find you really want to tune a parameter so precisely that the value you need is somewhere in between two of these 128 positions. This is why we have introduced the ability to apply a constant offset to any continuous parameter via the Mod Matrix.

1% Constant

Use this to fine tune any continuous parameter by up to 1% of the available range. This will likely only be no- ticeable when modulating parameters that affect pitch, including the cutoff frequency of a filter with very high resonance.

10% Constant

Use this to fine tune any parameter by up to 10% of the available range. In situations when Offset 1% is too subtle, try this instead

In my last handful of sound design sessions with the TI2, I’ve been using constant offsets for things like delay time and envelope parameters. The difference with only subtle tightening of envelope shapes sounded so good it took me by surprise. Great stuff!

please check back with support by email. you might have a hardware issue

I have. They got the same message, concluded it's not an issue and passed it on to the product management team.

Digging my mobile setup immensely. I'm no dummy!

hi,

have a look on this: Virus Power Supply

Why thank you very much. ??

What are the amps on your power supply? I suspect that mine is too low. I’m in the US. And I’m guessing that all the external power supplies are the same spec.

Well, the snow does also have an “easy” mode but I don’t think the simultaneous function is that dumb considering it’s lack of knobs. The Roland Alpha Juno’s have something similar so you can tweak the envelopes overall without menu diving. It’s kinda helpful when your playing rather than programming patterns.

This snow is actually supplemental to a ti2 keys. So, perhaps the snow is disrespecting me because of the redundancy. But really, I wanted to have Virus tone when I’m jamming out of my studio without lugging the keys. My patches are easily shared between them and since these can be a sound card, it makes bringing an audio interface unnecessary if I decide to bring out the laptop. As of right now, I don’t regret the decision!

On the Snow, it controls the filter env decay and release times simultaneously. And it does still perform that function when I’m being called a dummy.

My new snow is calling me a “*dummy*” when I shift + cutoff knob it sometimes. Wtf is that??

There’s a “live” button on lower left side of the VC window. Click it!

Dude, holy carp!! This is awesome.

Took a little bit to be in the studio and have this arise. PANIC (MONO+SYNC) two times works! I had been unplugging the dang thing to fix it for so long.

I also found that there actually is a calibration function without having to turn off and back on the Virus!
you press PANIC (MONO+SYNC) two times. and it calibrates.

Is this true???
