I also put in a request ages ago for this as well as VC just doesn't work smoothly for me either (for years now!). I want to use the TI as a midi keyboard controller via usb and just play the TI's audio live via analog outputs. This seemed like a very odd request and it took a few emails explaining it, but in the end it was a big "no".

When using USB, local off is automatically set to prevent set errors. When you are using USB, you are using a sequencer, in this case, you should use the sequencer to route ALL of your MIDI. This does not prevent you from using the analog outs (even with VC). In this case, you can use splits and everything your sequencer allows you to bend MIDI.

Your request is odd in a way that it is not the 99% setup and personally, I think it is not a proper setup and possibly error prone.

Local Off is being set automatically when a sequencer opens the MIDI ports. This is useful since you need to think of a Virus TI Keyboard/Polar as 2 devices, when connected to USB.

1) the sound engine
2) a MIDI keyboard

the MIDI keyboard will send the events to the sequencer where you are routing them to the synths you are using. In case local would be on, you would always hear 2 synths which is not the thing you want.

Please read the manual of your sequencer. To target the different parts, you need to setup and select different tracks in Cubase.
Please follow the Cubase tutorial PDF and song and contact our support department for further assistance.

Can someone on the Access Dev team say if that's true?
I've never seen the exact specs confirmed in 5 years, and we used to talk about it lots on the "old" forums.

I can not confirm this list.

holy sh+t...
and i thought that's going to be the first bug which will be fixed.
Is there a releasedate or at least any range like "within 2 weeks" for the next update?

I guess win7 users would have to wait till next year... damn

It is a changed behaviour in windows7 and not a bug. On Windows7, several APIs can turn out to be very slow, caused by the changed video adapter architecture.
The solution is to use a new API, that is working in a different manner, so this is not a trivial move.
Please understand that we can not give a release date on that yet.

The Icon means:

Virus TI and Virus TI Snow are VST3 Plugins (Icons are for VST3 plugs only), connected to eXternal hardware. For more information read the VST3 SDK Documentation.

Press [SHIFT]+[STORE] to issue the Random function (read, what is written below the button). Combine it with Section lock in Virus Control, if you want.

press [CONFIG], navigate to the "Softknob x" menu, set "Mode" to "Global" and choose the desired destination.

Can I use the Virus Control (in Logic) in multi mode?

No. You have to use the sequencer mode (which is multi timbral as well).

Zitat von siqure

How to "turn on" multi mode in real time and play in the same time 3-4 patches?

Setup multiple MIDI tracks in your sequencer and route them to the specific MIDI channels in Virus Control. Please read the tutorials for your sequencer for more information.
You also can open the tutorial songs for your sequencer and inspect them.
You can find this by clicking on the "?" symbol on the right bottom of the Virus Control plugin window.

Zitat von siqure

The Virus Control have 16 channels - Can I listen in the same time 2-3 channals? Or it can be only by separate?

See above.

Zitat von siqure

What is mean the button "Live"?

Please read the addendum (available in the "? menu at the bottom right of Virus Control plugin window).

Zitat von siqure

Where can I found manual for Virus TI Control 3?

See the "?" menu at the bottom right of the Virus Control plugin window.
You can also read the "READ ME" (clever name, ey?) that pops up when you install the Virus TI Software.

are you working in multimode, sequencermode or with virus control?

multi editor in VC

Edit everything in Virus Control, then hit [STORE] and select "-> Multi Edit Buffer" as destination. Next time, when VC is closed, go to Multimode and press [STORE] again to enter the multi store menu (and store it!)

Hi, i've only had my TI for a few days but despite searching all the forums and reading all the relevant manual sections and the cubase setup tutorial, i cannot find any information on this simple requirement.

The TI is connected via USB to cubase SX3. The Virus control plugin loads and detects the virus, and receives midi data from the knobs, but no sound is heard when i play the keyboard. The only way i can get sound at all so far, is to use the edit button on the TI itself and change the keyboard config "Local" to ON. (Which gives me a message that i shouldn't do this in Sequencer Mode, so what exactly am i supposed to do?)

When the virus is connected via USB and an application opens the ports, "Local Keyboard" is set to off automatically. Reason is: the keyboard + wheels is now separated from the synth, so you can play softsynths etc. with the TI keyboard.
You need to route MIDI from the "Virus TI Synth" to the "Virus TI Synth" MIDI port.

Zitat von Osmodiar

I just want to play the TI keyboard and record the notes and controller changes into cubase midi channel strips like i would through a normal usb midi controller, using sounds from the virus.

Somehow, the MIDI ports seem not to show up in your system. There are a lot of reasons, I suggest that you contact support.

I opened the 64 bit plug in in a 32 bit application without a problem however. Anyway, great job!

I doubt that. the 32bit application can only open the 32bit dlls.

Zitat von Coronado

Used the plug in in ACID 7. Scanning took some time. The Plug in didn't show in the VST list (for the record, I copied the dll into the 32 bit VST plug in section). Luckily ACID has a plug in manager that allows you to see the failed plug ins. The Virus was listed there. I instructed ACID to scan it again... et voila! It is working ok now..

just for the record: don't copy the DLLs around, point the installer to the directory you are using. If you use more than one hosts, choose a common directory and point the hosts to it. In case of any update, your copied DLLs are completely wasted and might be incompatible.

yeh mate, my VC seems to be controlling everything, every knob ive turned in VC has done something its meant to for the actual sound.

my only issue is that the fucking virus wont load up when i open my projects so i cant finish them off!!! really fucked off at the moment, it started playing up when i installed 3.1.00 and apparently there was a newer 3.1.00 which they replaced the dodgey 3.1.00 update with which fixed this but i cant find it!!! i'm annoyed because i wish i hadnt have updated to 3.1.00 now because its not working in projects ive already started, it works in new projects i start when i open up a brand new virus plug in. says it cant be detected or there is a version mis match when i know that everything is up to date.

really struggling to figure out what the problem is!!!

The latest 3.1.0.00 is available on the website. What you can do is: give 3.3.0.00 public beta a try. During installation, make sure the paths to your VSTPlugin folders are correctly set. Follow the instructions word by word.

ya, switching between views (BROWSER, OSC, FX 1, etc) is really slow, playing with all the knobs and parameters are lagging/delayed. plugin start up time is fine.

32 or 64bit plugin?

Zitat von aMUSEd

I can access it from within a host but is there a standalone version? - I'm sure there used to be but it's not in the Program files/Access folder so if it does exist where do I find it?

You can only access this from the hosts setup dialogs.

I don't think it was overlooked, but they probably made that decision due to the fact that usb is common. Firewire ports aren't very standard at all on non-apple hardware

It is a common misconception that firewire would create stable and reliant communication by itself. In fact, both busses have pros and cons, yet, the decision to USB was a pretty clear one. One thing was that there was no Firewire chip capable of handling multiple audiostreams AND MIDI and stuff with low latency available. For USB, it was. In general, the debate over this is pretty tedious.

Hey. I have an i7. I rarely see my CPU go past 12% in ableton. It's great. But I can't seem to get my ASIO System Performance setting past "Fast" - Any suggestions? Would love to have a few extra clicks on the input/output latency.

The CPU is one of the minor factors in terms of system/hardware performance. If memory/PCI or USB performances are much larger scale factors in the equation, even the presence of other hardware comes into play.

It is actually not easy to diagnose bottlenecks in modern PCs, you might consult an PC expert.

I used to make multi's on the Virus because I controlled it by midi and not by the VirusControl plugin. Now I've installed the VirusControl plugin (x64 yaye!), and I want to use a single-patch, stored within a multi which is stored localy on the Virus.

How can I copy the single patch from the multi to a ram slot? I guess it's the only way to get the single-patch into the VirusControl plugin?

Thanks for your time!

In Multi Mode, select the part that holds the patch, press STORE, choose "Store Single Menu" as Destination and press STORE again, then choose a SINGLE destination.

It wasn't in a hub, but I did switch it from one set of ports to another and it is working fine. No issues to report so far. Thanks for the info!
Vince

You can't identify root hubs easily, usually 2 connectors share the same root hub, so moving to a free other connector is a good tactic. I am sure, the connector you have used before is shared with one that has other devices attached.
