Hi All
OK I just loaded up these patches as Muti-timbral using Virus TI Desktop (Latest Vers) into Logic 9
Virus's USB Straight into imac intel core 2 duo 10.5.8 / 2.4Ghz / 4Gb & using Edirol UA-25Ex as interface
No other Apps or Synths running,.............JUST...........Logic & Virus Control
& got some really weird sounds without touching anything.
As soon as I open project.
Have tried turning every thing completely off & back on again......Nothing
Tried turning....Live Button on & off.................Makes it worse !!!!
Tried turning....Play & Stop & Play & Stop.....Makes it Worse !!!

Be very interested If anyone else's will do this strange thing.
Patches Below.....
1......FormantPad
2......AmbienceMS
3......FatsweepMH
4......Eko* pix
5......Former1oBC
6......Journey HM

There is about 2/3rd's showing in Virus's input into logic & logic's main outputs.
I'm going to record these strange sounds without playing or touching anything
into old Multi-8 track recorder
then back into logic......so I then have proof of these weird sounds &
then will be able to send by email to those that need the proof.

Also have another lot of patches doing similar.....but not as bad as above's.
Patches below.....
1......Forever M
2......music box>
3......BsWooten @
4......ModulePad
5......CheezArpXM
6......ArpBass MH

Must be some disturbance of some kind.
All midi channel strips in logic showing slight movement.
Main problem here is patch.......Forever M
Every time I load it into midi slot there is a load......click with echo

I wonder if this is a Virus TI software problem !! OR a Logic 9 problem !!

So if someone with similar setup to mine can try this I'd like to know if same happens to you.
Have M-audio 49e keyboard hooked up as well..........But not touching this at all.

Just had a thought while posting this ,I still have Cubase 4 which I haven't used for a while ,
will load up same as above & see if this happens in there..............
Shall report back on this , then will know if it's Virus or Logic or All

Cheers To Ya All...........Zummooz

EDIT......Just opened #1 project above & turned all patches , vol down in Virus Control.
SILENCE........Until I turn up a patch individually.....one at a time & found the culprit patches

1, 3 , 4 , 5 patches create there own noise when sliding vol in Virus Control........

1......FormantPad
3......FatsweepMH
4......Eko* pix
5......Former1oBC

2 & 6 seem to be OK

2......AmbienceMS
6......Journey HM

So am I looking at.........Corrupt Patches.....Some how ???

Have tried re-loading all patches.......BUT still the same weird noise.
I know the Virus can make some pretty weird sounds anyway.......But this is ridiculous

Can play sounds on keyboard on patches 2 & 6
BUT to much white noise etc on other patches........Impossible to use keyboard........A Mystery !!!!!!

Cheers

OK I've tried above in Cubase 4 & exactly the same results as above
Weird & strange noises.....
Tried doing recording in 8 track but I'm getting extra hum.....
So latter I'll record using Mic from monitors into 8 track then back into Logic.
Then can email to anyone interested in this problem.
So which is the problem sounds like ............Virus Control.........to me
Or I wonder if these are old patches that don't suit todays Virus.
Love to now what other people think or get when trying this.
If you want me to send email with this on it let me know please.
Cheers & back to the drawing board.

Yep Marc
Just sent my details etc.......
Didn't get instant email saying case # as yet.....But have case # after sending....Hope that means they got it !!
But I coudn't attach the projects on to this form.....
As they wouldn't attach to support form.....So when they send me something via email I'll be able to then...I Hope !!
That is what I do isn't it.....
Just attach project on to email.....OR.......Do I have to make a zip file or something stupid like that.
Thanks Marc
Cheers To Ya

Thanks for all your help

Hi......Just to let you know this problem is FIXED
