Hi absolutely loving my new ti2 desktop. I have downloaded the "Virus Control Center" prog. But am not sure where I get the actual stand alone editor program???
Please help.

Virus control is a vst or audio unit plugin
So you need to use it in your daw
Ahh. Makes sense now... I'm guessing I won't be able to use it with Reason 7 since there is no vst support?
who needs Reason if you have a Virus :o) (joking, i have Reason, and its a good combo really_
no... Reason is never going to support VSTs.
I use Live as the host, which means I can use VC, then rewire into reason.
but you could do the same with many hosts these days.
of course if/when you don't need the editor, then you can use the Virus via usb/midi directly into reason.
Think i've sorted it out. Thanks for the help!
If you search Propellerheads forums you can find out how to use VST's inside of reason. It is a very easy workaround. Had Massive running in reason 7 20 minutes after it was released.
djstingray, sorry but this is inaccurate and misleading…
you cannot host a VST within reason… it is NOT a vst host (or audio unit host).
I hear you cry " but these videos show massive being run in reason!" … no they don't…
what they show is an external VST host (google for free ones, or use a daw) then the midi and audio is routed to/from reason…
quite a few options for routing midi/audio:
a) midi … direct connection, or virtual connection via IAC (or windows equivalents)
b) audio … direction connection (audio interface) or virtual connection (e.g. Jack, or Soundflower)
there are quite a few differences between this approach and hosting the vst, cpu/latency/no pdc etc etc
I find the best way if you want to use VSTs and Reason (and who doesn't!) ,
is to use another daw, and then use that daw as the rewire master and reason as a rewire slave.
(most modern daws can act as rewire hosts)
as I said, Id be amazed if Propellerhead ever support VST/AU, as it would overnight destroy the market for rack extensions.
