@SOS: I upgraded my computer to a faster one.
- I still clearly hear the crackling on the test project you sent me
- I can't hear any crackle using the patch "Chapel MS" (which is a very nice patch BTW). I tried playing 5-6 notes chords, from my MIDI keyboard, from a sequencer ; I tried to play/stop the sequencer... I can't have crackling at all. I'm using Ableton Live, VC of course, with the USB audio outputs.
I think it's an interesting difference, because "Chapel MS" is a lot more complicated patch than "GENTLE" (the one in the test project you sent me).
In fact, if I take your sample project, and I replace your "GENTLE" patch by "Chapel MS", I don't hear any crackling!
What a pity I did not test "Chapel MS" on my previous computer!

Thanks for the information, it's very interesting!
You seem to mean it's only by luck if not using Virus Control makes a difference. Am I right about this?
let's put it like that: the patches in question do crackle when i use the virus stand alone. do you have different findings?

from what we can see, the crackling is caused by a very specific combination of parameters within both patches (eventually among others). the computer/USB/VC configuration has nothing to do with it.
best, marc

This sounds great and all, however, for me, I only ever get crackles in VC. Same patches that crackle there are totally fine in standalone, in fact, I don't think I have ever heard crackles in standalone mode. VC is a whole other nightmare however.
If you have some fixes in the pipeline to remedy whatever you have found crackle wise, I am all for it.

do you have other patches (the two mentioned aside) which show the behavior you're describing? maybe we just need more to see the pattern ...

I will get you the names of a few tomorrow as I have 3 patches in one project which all crackle in VC but not in standalone. One is a hand made sub patch, the others are slightly tweaked factory default patches.
Thanks for looking into this.

I've also experienced crackles happening before the effects chain. I'm using full bars of 8th note patterns from Farfisa running just about constantly in a track I'm currently working on, I've added some delay to it & towards the end the track Farfisa let off a couple of crackles which then bounced around the stereo field before dying off.I don't know if this info will help Access but it seems that the crackling happens before the effects chain. In other words, if you apply a reverb, the crackles will also have reverb.
I've got it on a rough bounce of the track, if you would like me to upload it somewhere so you can hear it to check if it's the same thing let me know.

a logic project (with virus control) would help a lot
