Ok guys, here is the official product page. Access Music has nothing to do with this what so ever, so you won't get support from them at any point

Virus|HC Editor + Librarian Plug-in for AudioUnit and VSTi environment

How long do you think will it take until it is 100% compatible to the TI series ?
It'S been a while ...

The new GUI looks better than before. Very promising!

But:

- the logo in the top left corner looks kinda cheap
- the grey color looks boring and it does not remind me of the virus
- overall the graphics look a little bit cheap

And please make sure that assigning the outputs in multimode really works, the ctrlr editor did not work in this regard !

I will buy this as soon as you start working on the TI editor!

Which features did you already implement into the editor ? Or better yet: Which features do not yet work ?

That's most likely a good thing.

OMG Awesome Your Roland editor looks very professional and simply amazing. I upgraded my studio this year and one part of it was replacing my TI1 with a TI2 and abandoning Total Integration at the same time. While it is possible to edit the TI2 via the hardware interface, an editor is better for studio work. I will buy your editor 100% sure ! Website bookmarked!

Are you saying using the virus audio outs, then in to the audio ins on the interface? I use an audio interface but not in this way.

Yes, I would like to have a simple, nicely working midi editor without the total integration nonsense.

Access could atleast release VC as normal midi editor. It would solve all problems for people who have the Virus connected to audio interfaces.

Any news about the progress ?

The patch morpher looks promising. Have you had a chance to try it on the Virus yet? Please share your experience.

Is it possible to edit and store Multis with this editor ?

No you are not coming late to the party.

Ctrlr is total bullshit. Always was, always will. Basically like the TI series.

If you love your Virus so much learn to program your own sounds. Else buy some sample libraries with 3 billion presets like the other "producers".

I would like to have a normal midi editor without all the Total Integration nonsense.
All I need is a reliable, oldschool midi and analog audio connection alongside a nice editor to program the Virus.
I don't need the useless sample accurate USB connection that never works perfectly (for me at least) anyways.

Are you on a mac or what are you talking about ?

The whole point of Total Integration was to use the Virus alongside another sound interface and it works so like a decade. (with all the crappy problems).

Give us a normal midi editor ffs.

The editor is pretty nice and exactly what I need because the Total Integration and VC is the biggest lie since cake. The editor doesnt work perfectly either tho -.-

Same here. I got my Virus in 2008 and there are always problems, on all systems. Would not buy it again. I even bought it new instead of used. -.-

The Virus Latency Settings resets itself randomly to the default 128 samples delay. I need it to be higher, so this is annoying.
This seems to happen when I restart the sequencer. By restarting I mean closing and opening it. Like, twice a day or so.

Is there a way to stop this behavior ? To "freeze" my needed buffer size once and for all?
Is there a way to open the latency window outside my sequencer (like with any sound-card I know) ?

Please note: The Virus is not shown under Device Selection because it was simply turned off when I made the Screenshot.

System:
Windows7 64Bit Fully updated
Cubase 7.5 64Bit

As I said, VC has its own plugin latency which is separate and is not affected by the ASIO latency, whether the Virus itself or a separate soundcard is the DAW's main soundcard.

Sadly this answer does not solve my question Plugin latencies usually get added to the soundcard asio latency, yep. But as if things were not confusing enough, the plugin latency is apparantly wrong, as even Mark stated.

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I was speaking of using VC. The Virus ASIO Latency has no effect if you play the Virus like a "normal" hardware synth.

If played like a normal hardware Synth, the only ASIO Latency that matters is the ASIO latency of the soundcard. In my case, with the setup described in post 1, it takes 11 ms until the sound arrives inside my daw and an additional 11 ms to get out and send out to my speakers. So it would take roughly 22 ms to hear the sound (plus maybe some mini latency by the midi device and driver),

However, we are talking about using VC:

And here is a quote from Mark: "the latency you see in the inspector is not what you will hear. [...] if your system is configured right, you can roughly expect the virus to have a latency which equals the buffer size of your soundcard."

If you open up the Virus ASIO Window you can see the latencies. The input latency seems to be somewhat in line with the common soundcards but the outpust latency is totally off.

Maybe both latencies only play a role if you send audio from the DAW into the Virus (Atomiser or so) ? I don't know, because my DAW, Cubase, does not allow sending audio to the Virus.

The more I think about it the more consused I am lol.
