Thank you. The list sees constant updates but the link always remains the same.

Nice... Added it to the list. https://drive.google.com/open?…UqoUE_JiOua1ZTRGNPdE9kdDg
I can add the original dates of all your banks to the list, if you let me know, thank you.

Yes... this is happening. I'm using VST 3. I load as 'Instrument Track' not 'Rack Instrument' Since Cubase upgrade the Instrument tracks more like Track instruments I no longer use them. I prefer the view management with Instrument Tracks.

Here is the latest version of the Holly Grail for the TI... Access Virus Sound Bank List.

Any feedback welcome, mistake etc. I'll add your name to the thanks section.

I've wrote a patch list for the Virus Ti... All the free and commercial banks i know off. Some specify the style and have the web address included. Take a look https://drive.google.com/open?…UqoUE_JiOua1ZTRGNPdE9kdDg

I'm not sure classical instruments will be good on the Virus. For that a sample based synth might be better.

I wonder what Access have to say about this. Thank you for the heads up.

Makina Leads... Not hyper/super saws.

You do realise there is no difference between the TI1 and the TI2 except 25% more power!

Thank you. I'm surprised we didn't get some kind of announcement on here that this feature of the TI now works in Cubase.

I have a short cut key set up to switch on/off automation follows part, sometimes I don't want it to follow. However, this won't help with the way the Cubase handles the controller information for that part of the Virus.

One work around would be to do the automation via the matrix and assign it to the mod wheel. Do the automation in the CC of the actual midi track (the old way). The Virus does have parameters mapped to all the CC numbers to so many wouldn't need to be linked via the Matrix.

As we said in this thread.

Ti and MIDI

The midi out does work when the Virus is connected via USB but for a different purpose. Imagine the midi connections on the back of the virus as a separate midi unit connected to your PC. The midi out port is now an extra midi out from your DAW to control other hardware. This is the best way for these ports to be utilised in USB mode. They didn't have to include this as a feature in the design but it's really good that they did.

That setting is not in VC it is in your DAW.

I've had a look and it is there. It's also available in the Matrix, you could assign it to the mod wheel. It also works through the 'R/W, randomly twiddle the knob, then click show all automation' method, way of finding it instead hunting through the menus. The problem I did notice is if you are recording automation on an extra midi track say for channel 2, you need to activate W on the main track for the Virus TI. Hope that helps.If loading as a Rack instrument the W on the Virus TI automation Track needs to be activated not the midi track itself.

Good to hear things are starting to work. I'm not sure about automating Fshif and Fspread, i'll have to check it later.

Quote from UniqueVirus

in one tab of VC it seemed like I could select only 1 of the 3 outputs.

In VC click patch/utility, it switches between the patch tabs and the utility tabs. Now you will see the config and remote tab. The config tab has the input output configuration. Select a 3 output option to ungrey the 3rd USB output.

Is this in VST connections ?

If using the Virus the old fashioned way yes. You would set up the different inputs and output in VST connections but that's not what's needed here.

If you load the Virus as an Instrument Track, in the inspector view (left hand side of your screen) where it says Virus TI, under All MIDI Inputs, either side of the word Virus TI there is a lil box with an arrow pointing out of it. Click the 1 on the right, now you can activate the other 2 outputs. This will automatically create the corresponding track in the mixer F3. BUT... If you're wondering where the outputs are in the project window. click the lil down arrow (show automation) in the bottom left hand corner of the track for the Virus TI. This is the advantage of using a Track VST over Rack VST, the outputs neatly pack into the main track. For other parts simply add another midi track and route it to the Virus in the inspector window mentioned above.

If you want to load the Virus as a Rack VST, press F11 or enable the Rack (right hand side of screen), click where it says 'Rack', select Virus TI, click 'Create' when asked about MIDI track. Wait a few seconds and a new graphic will pop up in the Rack, you should see those lil boxes with arrows, click the one with the arrow pointing out, if you can't see them, extend the width of the window or click the lil down arrow after the word Virus TI, here are your input/output options.

Yes... that was the case for a long time. However instrument tracks now support multiple outs and multiple midi sources. Try it, it works. We had a debate on the Cubase forum some time back over the differences and if there was still a need to use the Rack, even for multiple part instruments. The main difference is window/track management, how they are organised on the screen.

Cubase midi track volume fader moves the fader in VC. I'm pretty sure at one point VC moved the midi channel fader too (if it's not off) but I remember in some instances it not working as expected. I don't use it that way anymore to be sure.

Yes a lot of the problems were fixed with updates, things were a lil harder in the past. Other problems need to have the TI pushed to extremes to notice.

The TI is quite old now and i'm not sure anyone has tried to do anything similar since. Hats of to Access.

When jumping between projects I used to get crashes with Cubase 8. I would need to reset my Virus to free the midi. With Cubase 9 I don't get this anymore.

USB3 is greyed out because you need to change the Virus to the 3 output mode, I think its in the VC config tab.

Cubase can load the TI as an Instrument Track or Instrument Rack. The early version of Instrument Tracks didn't support multiple outs so we needed to load the TI as a Rack Instrument... Steinberg created Instrument Tracks as originally we had to load every VST in the RACK (even single channel ones) and assign a midi channel to it, this took up more space in the project window. Instrument Tracks were the answer to out prays, it combined the midi and audio into 1 track. I'm still undecided which is best for the TI, Tracks or Racks.

The main difference is the 1st midi track wont be combined in the audio, USB1 track. Which is part of the problem you'r having with faders. For now I think I prefer the TI in RACKS.

The reason you hear silence is because you haven't activated the other 2 outputs for the Virus in Cubase. When you do it will automatically create another 2 output channels. I send the Virus midi channel 1 out USB1, Virus midi channel 2 out USB2, Virus midi channel 3 out USB3. I use the volumes in VC (part volume too, filter page). I leave the Cubase midi channel volumes the VC volume faders correspond to set as off, with Cubase mixer set not to show midi channels. At the final mix stage any further adjustments can be done on the USB1, USB2, USB3 fader in the Cubase mixer.

I strongly recommend you upgrade to Cubase 9, it's better.

Can i ask if you get this issue.

It's the only thing that's currently a serious annoyance on my TI. Ruining a lot of my sound design ideas. I'm not sure if it a bug or intended, I can't find a work around and would like to know if earlier Virus had the same, with it being a Virus Characteristic. It's too random for me to be good.
