Hi Maarten,
Can't wait to see your updates to the TOUCH for Virus App.
I've been lurking the App Store last few days...

Well, fellow dutchman: stop lurking > start downloading. Version 1,6 is live!
nevermind
Hey, can you make it compatible with Apple Silicon Macs? I don't have an iPad, but would love to get it for my Apple m1, cheers.
Hi CrystalPalace , it should be automatically available for MacOS too > On Apple Silicon only.
I couldn't test is myself, because I have a brand new Intel based MacBook, so I don't know f this is true.
To be honest, I doubt my underlying libraries are compatible.
But I am starting to a brand new "version 2" of touch for virus, which should become available as VST and AudioUnit on Mac, IOS and maybe Windows.
Now I'm here, why not post a sneak peak at brand-new version 1.7:
Which will bring you:
- Search functionality
- Favorite or unfavorite your favorite patches
- Have some "smart collections" : recently used and most used patches
- Edit patch details (rename, change categories, author or description)
- Replace patches to another collection
- delete complete collections
- and minor improvements and bug fixes..
Hi Maarten,
Please support the Multi-SIngle (aka Sequencer) mode aswell. It's the most versatile mode I think (also used when the Virus TI VST is in use)
BTW, the latest version (v1.6.1) crashes when in (1:) "Single Mode", and selecting the correct (2:) Midi connection. It does allow me to do that when doing "Multi Mode, Part 1".
Cheers,

Hi jmm123
My app has not officially been tested on Macs, but someone on Facebook told me it works, apart from some interface glitches.
but I repeat: it's not officially supported (yet)
I will have a look at the multi layered patches, could be possible.
The crash you describe I cannot reproduce. In my crash reports I've seen a strange increase of memory related crashes in the last days.
these are not so simple to research, and it is strange I have not seen them before, not this much. I have not published a new version, but Apple did release a new IOS version I think. Did this start after a IOS update, or after you updated the app?

It started after the last update of the app. My crashes where today, also a minute ago (so you can find them in firebase/crashlytics).
It also states in red "Received SYSEX dump is incomplete (1)". All this after deleting/re-installing the app. (I'm a Software Engineer too)
I have a Virus TI keyboard. Connected via MIDI DIn to a iConnect MIDI4+. iPad connected to that too.
But I am starting to a brand new "version 2" of touch for virus, which should become available as VST and AudioUnit on Mac, IOS and maybe Windows.
Hi Maarten,
That is great news!
For me the most important feature for such a plugin would be: Total Recall.
Meaning the plugin would automatically load the settings I made in that project, regardless of wether I saved it as a patch, or not.
Just like the TI and VirusHC plugin do.
A little update about the new version:
- I'm working with people from the company behind the Widi Master Bluetooth MIDI plugs to get my app working with those plugs too.
- I've also decided to start with the multi mode support.
The new release will take a bit longer because of all this.
I want the new release to be more stable, so you're all invited to join the beta:
Join the Beta!
https://testflight.apple.com/join/BryBUfq2
The current beta contains:
- the new library,
- improvements to MIDI and
- bug fixes (the collection name "Tarekith's Elemental Soundset" won't make the app crash any longer)
- Not yet support for multi mode, this is coming in the next weeks
Just a note: install the beta without deleting your current app to maintain your patch library. after installing the beta, you will not be able to downgrade to the current available version. As a result, you can only leave the beta program when version 1.7 is released. You can always delete the app (and your library) to return to the current version.
It took me some time, but multimode support is finished now.
I've made a videoI wanted to share with you to introduce the new feature properly:
Maarten, is there a way to use the app USB from the iPad to the USB port on the Virus TI, or is it only via bluetooth??
Hi JetStarfire!
There are two options to connect the iPad and Virus TI
You can connect the virus USB directly to your iPad, and it will allow you to use the virus as a audio interface.
MIDI however will not work. This is a limitation of the Virus Synth. The MIDI on USB implementation is not recognized by iPads somehow, and therefore also not available in my app.
Hi Maarten
Great apps, it's works like a charm with my mioXM midi hub
If I load any bank (ROM A/B>C>D etc...) we don't have the same index.
May I miss something, it's looks alphabetical on Touch of Virus
It's it possible in a future to get the same index for a midi bank
It's also possible in a futur to export a bank as a midi to burn the bank on the Virus ?
Thank You
Hi Maartin,
After purchase and setup, it looks like you can't use the USB cable to transmit audio from the virus and use your app at the same time. On my setup (Ableton live 11) the Virus Control plugin seems to interfere with the Touch app. With Virus Control in my set, my Virus TI2 only responds to the notes played on the Touch app virtual keyboard: all "control type" changes are ignored (ie., changing from single mode to multi).
Is there a way around this? Very much prefer to use your app.
Thanks,
Mike
bought it and great work! I did have to return the Roland usb to midi interface that arrived broken and ordered new one to test. Great option to go dawless and have patch management and manage settings on the virus.
