Some more questions: How did you record your example? Which outputs did you use? And at what calue is the main volume knob on the hardware?
(and yes, I just recently found out that this is relevant, and the Virus can be driven internally into heavy digital clipping even when recording purely digital.)
I tried all outputs, audio, USB and headphones.
There was noise at all outputs.
I recorded the example via audio output with a total level of 3 o'clock (rotary knob).
I also changed the internal levels, but the noise was still there. I definitely rule out internal overcontrol.
However, I recently discovered another interesting thread here. It was about timing problems with unison in connection with the filter and LFO. I think you wrote something about that too. I have to look for the thread, I can't find it right now.
Edit: Now I found the thread. Could that have something to do with it?
I only noticed it today when i added a strong filter envelope to a typical huge TI dual Hypersaw. There was a strange effect ruining the sound every so many notes. At first I was very confused to…
