Hi geek,

I am using the Virus TI with Live 6 and it runs great (just make sure you are using the latest firmware/os version from Access)

I have a Virus C, which means no total integration, and also no integration problems. If you can live with the midi slop, it's a great sounding synth, and a total bargain on Ebay.

I have the Virus KC and can't live without it. Can generate some very 'organic' sounds with a little tweaking.....

On a different note, does anyone know the name of the company that made a plugin to integrate the Virus hardware as a plugin ?
Somebody posted a link to it sometime back but they hadn't completed the plugin yet and I haven't been able to find the link since......

Thanks

Ditto what doc said. I have set up a template to work with live 6 in automap mode, which really works great. The envelope knobs are mapped to the 8 macros available in each device/rack. Same layout and everything

Should be getting distributed in an OS update soon.

i have the access virus indigo 1. the transpose buttons (octave up and down) do not transmit midi information. bummer. great sounding synth, i love it.

having a fuck of a time waiting for a shipment of a new LCD screen. they put shit ones in and are problematic. i hope their new T1's are built with higher quality.

.

Just a note for those interested, the buttons on the TI do not currently transmit midi data either in Remote Control mode. Just a heads up, pretty much only the knobs and mod wheels can transmit midi data.

Don't be scared of the older modules. A virus B still cuts it superbly and can be bought for very little second hand these days...

I have a Virus Classic, wouldn't dream of selling it, a timeless creation!

Thanks for your replys! Bummer about the buttons though. All the virus's look and sound dope but i need the 5 octave keyboard. Can you sythersize drum and hat sounds on the TI like an fm synth?

The Virus is an UBER-drum synth, very powerful for this.

EXCELENT. Very excited to try one. Just listned to one of the tracks on your link site. sounded quality. didn't know DUBSTEP was big in chicago.

Thanks man, pretty much all of those synth sounds are from the Virus in my tunes.

No idea what this dubstep is....
