Virus powercore is your best bet man if you want a virus without actually having a virus

There is no freeze tracks problem, just solo the track and bounce it as audio when you want to freeze it and then mute the midi track. You don't need a fancy freeze button just to freeze a track.

If anything it's the DAWs that would have to change if you want freeze to work with the TI.

If you really want a freeze bear in mind it has to be realtime as that's the only way hardware can handle it. That being said there are 2 options. Sonar has a realtime freeze and Reaper has a realtime bounce-to-stems which is effectively similar

I think u guys are missing the point of this thread...

+1 for software plugin version, and here's why:

1. Extreme portability (all you will need is your laptop)
2. No wall wart / power cord and usb cord necessary
3. Multiple instances of virus plugin
4. Instances are freezable
5 Tighter Intergration with your daw
6. More stable, less audio artifacts and pops
7. Faster gui updates.
8. near ZERO latency.
9. Unlimited channels for independent effects processing and routing
10. plugin will never get out of sync.

Yeah, but do you really think you will get the same standard of synth on the PC without it eating your CPU for brekfast.

Multiple instances my ass - think NI massive and add a couple of noughts on...

as powercore and the virus demonstrate, there are some things that are still best left to dedicated hardware (for now, anyway...)

Exactly. And to add: It's not just a Virus thing. Very few (or no AFAIK... I really can't think of any) hardware synths can be bounced offline.

As much as I like the idea of having a Virus VSTi, I can't see Access cannibalizing their own hardware products by doing a VSTi. The amount of cracks that would kill Virus hardware sales, and the margin dollars they would lose on selling hardware over software unfortunately I don't think a Virus VSTi will happen. Gosh I hope I am wrong!!!! I would love to see a Virus VSTi!!
