About using external analog synth threw Virus as a soundcard?!

  • I thind this really strange and cannot help to think that this a big flaw in the virus system. Are there any workarounds? I am having a minimalistic set-up which concists with a macbook, push 2, Micrbrute and speakers. Thats it and how i want it. Might wanna use a poly analog but thats not for now. Did i get this right form what i have read, is it only possible to use the inputs with the Virus if i run another soundcard? If that is the case, the virus does not ad up to the name of total integration. Is that so? If it is not, can someone explain how i can set it up, and if it is so. What is the best/cheapest way to get my microbrute to the computer? What i have come to think of is some kind of small usb soundcard/mixer for that purpouse.


    Help with this would be much appreciated. I bught it more or less just have this opportunity to ad one or two external gears later on but it seems i have to buy extra stuff.
