so odd!

i'm on a virusb.

ok... i have a pretty boring ol' bassline playing evenly on and between every beat. it sounds ok.

now i add a little pad thing and sometimes the bass note on the fourth beat or in between the fourth beat and the first beat of the next measure cuts.

now i know it's NOT polyphony because the pad does not use unison, no sub oscillator, etc. ALSO, when i dialup another bass patch it's ok.

ok, but this is what i found out. the particular bass patch i'm using has assign 2 on the mod matrix set with the source being AmpEnv and the first destination being AmpDecay: -30. The second destination is off.

when i turn the AmpDecay Destination more +'ve a bit, it stops cutting notes, but when i leave it at around -30 or lower it cuts! How perculiar! Has anyone else encountered such a thing? What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be of major help... wtf!? ok.. sorry... i can't even spoke engloosh ezmeoar (it's late).

Thanks for any help!

ps: yah, i tried the ol' restart too (well, just restarting the virus). it's hooked up to an rm1x.

Another possible cause, though not much help to you, is the Virus could quite simply be glitching, a problem that is very common with the Virus. It is capable of all manner of weird problems. In which case you may want to try re-installing the OS, or even try an earlier OS.

----------------------------------------

I've never had any problems with glitching on my A.

And give Yamaha support a ring about the RM1X. They'll mail you out the OS upgrade. It's easily installable.

There might be a small cost associated with it, I don't remember. And they need you to send back the old chip too.

dunno.. I sometimes get unwanted note off messages in my sequencer, produced by my master-keyboard. These reslut in a cut of the release...

"I've never had any problems with glitching on my A."

I could be completely wrong here, but it seems that many of the problems are a ssociated with the recent OS's, such as the OS's 5 and 6. See here. The Virus seems to be getting more problematic than Windows.

Regards.

Steve.

oh the cost

the rm1x works well enough now though, the reset problem isn't that bad for me (there's a workaround).

also: i'm saving up for a yamaha a4k and a bag of chips so the money must be saved!

thanks for the forum link steve. i read through some of them. a lot of the major problems ppl are having sounds like it's from shitty retailers though.

so.
owell.

i wonder if it actually is a bug tho. i mean.. if the two up there were right about the decay going on forever... maybe within the os, the asdr gets mixed up with decay and release?

sounds like a long shot though... which reminds me.. i gotta go to the washroom..

bye!
