Virus Control and Hardware Sequencer

Hello everyone,

I just bought a second hand TI2 desktop and I'm still exploring the unit.

My goal is to sequence the Virus with a hardware MIDI sequencer but use the plugin for patch editing and library management.

I use MIDI Patchbay to route Virus TI MIDI into Virus TI Synth.

I had to dig up my old MBP because of incompatibly with the latests versions of MacOS, but the plugin works fine.

The problem is : only the midi channel 1 works. All the other channels are unresponsive.

I first thought of a wrong midi channel routing but as the manual says "It couldn’t be simpler: the MIDI channel is always the same as the PART number (1 to 16)" in Sequencer Mode. So it should be straightforward.

With the USB disconnected, I am able to access all the MIDI channels in Sequencer Mode, as expected.

So what am I missing ?

Thanks !

I use AU Lab, since I just want a host for the plugin, not a full DAW

oh I see, and that might interfere with MIDI ?
