Virus TI2 and Akai MAX25/49

  • I'm planning to buy Akai MAX 25 (or 49) for my Virus TI2 desktop and connect them with MIDI cable.
    I'd like to ask if any of you have tried one of these controller keyboards with Virus TI/TI2 connected over MIDI cables. If yes then:
    -do they cooperate seamlessly?
    -does the AKAI MAX sequencer cooperates correctly with Virus? any timing issues?
    -any issues notieced?
