The point is that the variation is insignificantly small - ie smaller than how close you would get a guitar or violin or flute or whatever in tune. The idea that it impedes the production of music is crazy - and yes other synths do go out of tune and I won't shoot fish in a barrel by mentioning analogues, if the battery gets low on my microKORG then the pitch will go off a little (not in absolute tuning, but you can get some funky variations going on, mostly when you set it up so the weedy little DSP starts to struggle).
Incidentally, I have perfect pitch, I don't need to be told by you whether or not I have a musical ear.
Stop pursuing this nonsense and enjoy your damn synth.
I would also suggest that people place a little more faith in waves plugins than maybe they should, but what should I know... I'm only doing a PhD in it...

Okay,
You haven't read the thread at all since you keep asking why I am using a sine wave.
PhD is of no worth, unless you can hear what happens - in this case.
I'll try to reply you, but sorry after this I will not try anymore, since if you cannot hear it, there is not much to discuss about..
I took a look at that video, too. I didn't actually see any instance of the 'problem' occuring in a practical situation - all I see is that if you hold a note then reset the ASIO driver you get some form of deviation on the spectroscope, specifically around the 'low shoulder' of the fundamental peak and a little on the 'high shoulder', too (the mean doesnt actually shift, by the way, which is why there is no audiable change in pitch).
According to mine, and many top of the line Finnish Trance producers ears, there is audible change in pitch. I would not wish to argue this anymore...
..this is not a question of taste.. It simply is.
Without much detail on how the waves plugin works it could either be down to a disturbance in a running mean, a non integer multiple issue, or even an issue to do with what cubase actually does when you tell it to reset the audio driver (ie something within cubase disturbing the timing).
At any rate, I'm not surprised there is a minor discontinuity when you tell it to reset the driver - in fact it's par for the course - and do you really sit there clicking it repeatedly when your working? and if you do... why?
This is only for recreational purposes
I tick the ASIO driver dozen times, to demonstrate how people can recreate this.. 5 presses should do. And if you ask why I am pressing on the reset ASIO driver button, you really need to know, it just resets the MIXER in a similar fashion as [for example] opening a VST plug-in would.
(this is going straight to the source of the bug, and shows a situation where Access Virus TI reacts to what is done in the sequencer - yet it seems hard for some to understand this perfectly demonstrates the problem in the current Access software)
SO: This happens allways, in normal composing situation, no matter what patch is used.
There are no excuses, and yes Waves is just one analyzer, but it is perfectly fitting for spotting the differences in the frequency spectrum. Which you can hear accord&correlate to the ones seen on the screen. So there is both audible proof, and also visual for those of us who cannot hear the pitch that well (which is no dissing, some people just do not have that good an ear for tune, which in no way means they would be of lesser people or lesser important...)
edit:
Also Waves does not show these variances, when any other VST is connected to it - so you must agree, it is the Virus TI's signal that goes off, not the Waves plug-in. Do you not?
