Hello folks, I am a proud owner of a newly acquired Snow and it is now fully updated. I have a hardware only home studio, all routed through (2) Roland Studio Captures, straight to PC via USB. My DAW is Sonar Artist. (The sound is sent from PC back via USB to the Studio Capture monitor outs to my HR824's). My goal is to be able to browse through the patches within the Virus Control and audition them as I browse. I have lots of patches already loaded and can view them from Virus Control inside Sonar but cannot get them to sound. (I am using one of my keyboards as controller, with the Snow 1/4" Outs connected with 1/4" cables from that same keyboard going back to the Studio Capture channel inputs, basically using the Snow in the same keyboard's channel slots temporarily for testing).
As of now, I can load the patch, save it straight to the Snow then disconnect everything and hear it that way, but there must be a better way. I think I am confusing the Snow's USB sound path somehow? Do I have to still set up the Virus' sound card even though I'm already using the Studio Capture's interface for sound? Again, I will use the Snow only as a hardware synth, playing straight to tracks when I record, and also plan to use it with my live rig. So my only software need is to be able to use the librarian to audition and load patches back and forth. Is there anyone left out there sticking to hardware these days and have similar set up that can help? Thanks very much, and am totally in awe of this Virus technology-all aspects!!!!
