Virus TI sync issues via usb

  • Hi guys, just picked ups virus TI desktop, love the sound on it very distinctive
    however i've got some issues
    I'm using osx high seirra , cubase 10 pro and a UAD Apollo black, analog outs on the virus


    if I run the synth via usb and use the virus control plugin in cubase the arppegiator sync is off
    if I unplug the usb and run a Roland UM One midi to usb cable, it jumps to single mode and it syncs perfectly but if I attempt to record any knob movements for automation recording some of them don't record. should it be able to record all of them?


    has anyone managed to get the arp to sync via usb in a DAW using the control plugin? I'm really surprised it doesn't do that unless I'm missing something, the vc plugin is handy for backing up patches and quick editing


    my other synths which are more modern like the sub 37 can sync arps via usb so I'm puzzled why this is an issue.


    thanks for your help

  • Be sure to have at least 2 bars (better 4 bars on higher tempos) of a preroll before the sound with ARP starts, in order to give the VC and Virus enough time to „get into the groove“ (i.e. to properly sync).

    If you use the ARP purely to play notes (and not change parameters via Mod Matrix), consider using Cubase to sequence the Virus instead (which was actually the pupose of Cubase in the first place).

  • perfect syncing here on mac os mojave with logic pro and connected spdif sync on uad apollo x6. the latter is the key to success (spdif in connected to spdif out of your interface)

    preroll ( logic prox) set to 1Bar
