USB for audio / DIN for MIDI - way to do this?

  • I would like to sequence my Virus TI2 from a hardware sequencer (I use a Squarp Hapax, in case you’re curious), but send audio via USB.


    The reason is that I’ve got a few more channels of sound than my 18-channel interface can handle. Using USB audio and an aggregate audio over USB driver could solve my problem, without the requirement to buy an expensive mixer or interface that supports 24 or more channels.


    Is there a good way to do this?

  • As soon as USB is connected, the MIDI ports on the Virus are turned into a MIDI interface that is disconnected from the sound engine. Hence, the only way to do this is to route the MIDI interface in port to the Virus Synth MIDI port on the PC. How to do this depends on the OS and/or DAW that you use.
