Routing Virus Ti2 sounds to the mixer?

  • I'm currently using FL studio 10 and 11. I wanted to know if there was a way to use the virus in a way that I can route all 16 sounds to individual tracks on the mixer. I'm not having any luck and wondering if anyone else has a solution?


    In the image below I have 4 sounds that I'm currently using 1 through the instance of the virus vst and 3 midi out plug ins correctly routed. Now I want to get them to the mixer individually so I can apply effects and eq individually?
    Is this possible?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Your question divides in two, and the sample FL studio project will answer both parts. In short, you need to set up tracks that send MIDI to the plugin on (up to) 16 separate MIDI channels. You also need to set up tracks that accept (up to) 3 stereo pairs of audio from the plugin. You can change the internal routing in the Virus so that the stereo pairs are broken and you get (up to) 6 separate mono outs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Man this DAW just sucks. FL Studio 10 & 11 on one of the fastest comps on the planet.


    Routing to the Virus VST to midi outs in FL works like a charm. So now I have built this project with 16 sounds all coming from the virus + various other vsts and samples. Now here are my issues.


    My problems:


    - Major latency issues with my Motu UltraLite Mk3 & FL10/11
    - No ability to route all 16 individual sounds from the virus vst to the mixer so they can be processed individually. Since the latest wrapper update nothing appears the same in the PDF's.


    Tried the FLP that doesn't work to route the channels, tried changing the master channel to 98.6 like suggested by another user, and have been messing around with various settings. Follows all the PDF's


    Basically I purchased a Ferrari, I've got gas, the keys and everything I need. Unfortunately the damn garage door won't open so I can't even pull it of the garage to drive it.


    Anyone have team viewer and can take a quick peak of my setup would be happy to make it worth your while. Cold hard cash for a fix! :)

  • It is not possible to route all 16 MIDI parts to separate audio outputs, since the VC plugin has only 3 stereo/6 mono ones. So you'll either have to use less Virus parts, prioritize which ones you want processed separately, or process them after you bounce them.
    Did you try the sample project given with the tutorial? It has all the latency and routing set up for you to use as a template - although IIRC later versions of FL studio have auto delay compensation (is it turned on in your project?), so this might be redundant.
    Hope you get it sorted quickly.

    I've switched from fl studio to ableton live because of the bad routing option in fl studio.
    You can set 3x stereo usb and 3x stereo analog out in fl studio.


    But try to setup the Atomizer or just use the input of the virus in fl studio .......this does not work without using a cable.
    In ableton you can rout this without a cable.


    Fl studio has a better piano roll but since I switched to ableton, I have not touched fl studio to make music.

  • So here is my idea and bare with me as I'm a noob but I don't understand why the VST based software can't simply update to do exactly what poise does as a VST.


    So this has 16 outs 1 for each pad for this drum pad vst called poise image in the FL studio wrapper -

    You can see poise on the left and the virus on the right.


    So why can't we just add outputs so that it would route correctly? I would assume this just a VST based update right?

    So then add some selection so you can pick which one it routes out to through the main virus VST page -

    Then it would work like this just routing down the line -

    Or do we literally need 16 outs from the actual virus synth to be able to accomplish this in FL? That seems kind of silly after all this data should be able to be transmitted by USB right?


    ---


    BTW the FL template doesn't fix the issues or help with the routing problem. Its outdated and doesn't really help with anything for FL10 and 11.


    Maybe I'm completely off and this actually a huge change for access, but I'm more then willing to be called a fool to figure out my answer or solution.

  • Hey kfxkicks


    I totally get what you are wanting to do, unfortunately for you the software is just a front end for the hardware & can not be simply updated.

    do we literally need 16 outs from the actual virus synth to be able to accomplish this in FL?


    Yes, you would need 16 outs from the Virus. As the Virus does not have 16 outs you will have to take note of Flabberbobs advice & prioritize which ones you want processed separately, or process them after you bounce them.


    Your garage door will open enough for you to take that Ferrari out, go on, take it for a spin :D

  • Still, this screenshot worries me:

    As there should be 3 outs, not just one. I vaguely remember having a "crippled" VST for the Virus for backward compatibility - so try to see if you have an option to select a different VST for your model of Virus, in the Virus installation folder.

    Any ideas on why I'm not seeing those 3 outs. That would at least get the work flow going if I could route 3 outs to the mixer in FL.


    If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.
