VIRUS TI2 MIDI-CHANNELS IN ABLETON TUTORIAL - ONE SOUND ONLY???

    HELLO AGAIN,
    BEING TOLD MY OLD SOFTWARE IS INCOMPATIBLE (CUBASE 4LE) I PURCHASED ABLETON LIVE 8 SUITE IN HOPES OF CURING MY NEW FOUND HATRED FOR VST/HARDWARE. WHEN LOADING THE TUTORIAL SONG IN ABLETON ALL NINE(9) MIDI CHANNELS SHOW UP AND PLAY WHEN THE SOFTWARE OPENS. WHEN TRYING TO ACTIVATE A CHANNEL FOR RECORDING, CHANGE SOUNDS OR JUST HEAR SOMETHING ELSE ONLY THE KICKDRUM PLAYS. ONCE I ACTIVATE A CHANNEL TO FILTER THRU NEW SOUNDS ALL TRACKS GO MUTE AND A MIDI SIGNAL SHOWS (IN TRACK 1 ONLY) BUT NO SOUNDS ARE HEARD. THIS IS DEPRESSING. 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND I CAN ONLY PLAY WITH THIS GREAT PIECE THRU MY MPC WHILE READING OF CONSTANT AGONY FROM OTHER USERS WHEN USING THE VIRUS AS A VST.


    PLEASE HELP, PLEASE HELP, PLEASE HELP!!!


    I READ THE OTHER POST ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM WHERE THE USER WAS TOLD TO ARM THE TRACK... I DID... THEN ALL TRACKS MUTE AND NOTHING PLAYS.?.
    PLEASE HELP.


    THANKS?

    This is a problem with Live, not your Virus. If you want to play a part, ARM THE MIDI CHANNEL, NOT THE AUDIO CHANNEL THAT YOU DROPPED VIRUS CONTROL INTO. If you arm the Virus Control, you will only hear channel 1: in this case the Kick part.


    I hope this helps.
