Setting up the virus TI 2 with logic

  • Setting up the virus TI 2 with logic
    Okay first off i was extremely excited when i plugged the virus TI2 keyboard in, and still was even when i was overwhelemd by the features of the synth.


    However i cannot find information about certain aspects of the Synth setup.


    I would ideally like to be able to record audio from me hitting the keys, WHILST editing the synth via the Plugin through logic (pro x on a mac 15" (with enough spec to run everything fine)). i have found pretty much no information regarding this.


    So far i have managed to play a few notes through logic connected via usb. However when i draw a midi note into logic, and play the track back, it does not sound like the note i played when just hitting the key.


    I would have bounced the midi notes i drew (even though they didn't sound like when i hit the keys with the same duration as the midi note length drawn), however logic will not let me do this. therefore i refer back to line 3 and want to record audio as well as edit the synth via vst.


    Can anyone please help the excitement peppered with frustration and slight contemptuous feelings i have toward the virus?


    Here are the scenarios again tailored to logic pro x (via USB if possible) but any answers are greatly appreciated.


    1. Play virus keys to taste while editing vst ---> draw audio and have the same sequence played back ----> then render for further editing
    2. failing number 1 ----> Play virus keys to taste while editing vst ---------> and record audio!
    3. failing number 2 ------>Play virus keys to taste editing standalone (would have to edit parameters via vat and save preset to use on stand alone)------> record audio
    I hope my point is made sufficiently as i just wanna play the damn thing the way i want!


    Thanks in advance Ladies and Gentlemen!
