Thanks FlabberBOB,
I appreciate the info.
I now know how to utilize the VC while my Virus is connected via analog outputs, this is great for the studio but I'll have to use multi-mode live & not worry about VC TI plugin on stage until I evolve.
After reading through the forum, I understand this is a very touchy subject & has been for awhile. I spent days building, layering, & tweaking sounds specific to my live set in multi-mode, all custom FX, ready to go in succession, but, no way to use the VC TI plugin for multi-mode & I'm not going crazy with midi just yet.
Mastering the midi channels will be my next task, this seems to be the only way to essentially utilize what I'm doing in multi-mode but in sequence mode instead with VC up & still be able to have my Virus as an interchangeable midi controller to switch back & forth from my layered Virus patches to software synths open in midi tracks using Abelton Live by enabling the tracks to record via the Novation Launchpad.
This may just be for the sake of learning in regard to the full potential & capability of the synth; I'll probably end up using a separate midi controller on stage.
Thanks again
J
