it would be great to hear more about how you are setting the virus to stay at 48k with USB connections. I'm finding with OSX Lion and Logic I can't run in 48k mode well, it only runs well in 44.1. I'd love to test ways to try to keep it in 48.

i'm running a virus ti with the duet, but only use the apogee for audio IO, and the virus as a software instrument. i haven't had great luck because i always update my software too often, (cause i do IT work and always need something), but if you stay with the current recommended versions, it tends to work ok. especially if u can stand to work in 44.1.

hi all.

just wanted to report some good news...

osx lion 10.7
logic pro 9.1.4 - in 64 bit mode
macmini 2.5ghz - 4gb ram
access virus ti - 4.5.115

all installed nicely. works. a bit of static on the output when i used it on a few arpegiators, but it's functional. haven't seen any sync issues yet!

logic complains that there is a USB conflict with the root USB hub, (i thought it was the wired keyboard usb connections, i spent 25 minutes connecting my wireless keyboard - doh!) but it seems to work.

and props to access - when i went to use the ti, it prompted me to change the logic pro device buffer size to small, nicely done!

at what point do i submit for artist sponsorship, i think every track has the access virus ti keyboard as a featured instrument!!!

doh!

I don't know of a way to make them completely independent. but you can use separate midi channels, and change the automation within the separate midi tracks. i've had mixed results with this technique though.

usually i'll make the first track, assign the virus, change it to midi channel 1, then just add the next track with "track - new with next midi channel". control the volume within the virus panel. i would now HIGHLY recommend making audio mixdowns of any super cool sounds you get from the virus, i've had nightmares trying to go back to songs that were done with previous versions of virus ti software and older versions of logic / mac OS. sync issues, etc.

good luck.

hey zummooz, i agree it's hard to get exacts, but i would love to at least have a logic sub-forum...

akram, no idea about kc virus, sorry i can't help u.

I'd love to post my findings about OSX / Logic 9.1.1 / Apogee Duet to a specific forum area, so we could compile information about using the Virus Ti with specific hardware.

Anyone else interested in being able to check into a forum area that is designed per hardware/software specs?

Here's the rules I've been working with, and I've had mixed success:

VIRUS RULES:

set I/O buffer size to [128]
access and apogee recommend 128
process buffer [small]
plugin latency compensation must NOT be set to off
low latency mode should be [disabled]
general / pref / global settings / cycle = [1/96]
enable smooth cycle
project settings / pref / audio /
[enable] playback preroll

OSX 10.6.4 / 2 X 2.66 Dual Core Intel / Logic 9.1.1 @ 32bit / Virus 4.0.5.01

i'm also getting distortion when running thru the virus for fx and atomizer via logic bussing. 3.3 beta is the virus OS.

Logic 9.02 / Apogee Duet / 48k ONLY / Access Virus TI keyboard / MacPro Quad 2.66 / 10.6.2 OSX

i'm using snow and logic 9, the virus ti keyboard works ok with 3.3 beta. i've been trying to run side chains and feed into the fx panels, without success, but the general functions / sounds work.
