Virus Control Center Mac

  • Hi


    I bought a TI Polar yesterday, and installed the Virus Software. When opening the Control Center, I only get the buttons back/restore, burn flash. No librarian, no editor etc... How do I access (no pun intended) these?

  • I don't know, I only use Cubase, check on Access site, there's a list of supported hosts :)

  • Congratulations on getting a Polar!


    Not a DAW, but a AU Host that works very well is Mainstage. I use that all the time, when designing sounds outside of a Cubase project.
    I guess GarageBand should work as well, but proper MIDI setup could be limited.

    Bass Player and Synthesist.

  • I'm fiddling with Reaper right now, and I have the plugin loaded, but no sound at all. The Polar is in Sequencer mode, I can select patches, but I have no sound. In preferences, I have chosen the Virus as Audio unit.
    This "Total Integration" isn't as straightforward and total as I hoped....

    reaper is not a supported host. please read the documentation, it will save you time. if you have questions, contact support by email. good luck!
    the Virus Control Center you've mentioned earlier on is not the plugin, which is called Virus Control. That's two different things with two different purposes.

  • Well, I finally have managed to run VC on Reaper. But I have discovered a bug: when I assign a knob for Delay feedback, it doesn't respond. Other parameters I've tried did, but not that one. Also happens when I use the synth standalone, so it's not a Reaper issue.


    thanks
