Re: Access Virus and Ableton Live 9?

Been rocking a TI2 for quite a while and it's pretty amazing. Sounds great and more flexible than your girlfriend at a yoga class.

Only issue is that I'd REEEEAAaALLLLLLLYYYYYY like Live's External Instrument dev to work alongside the TI plug. Live seems not able to route all of the Virus' channels out of the Virus plug into the External Instrument dev. Meaning, it's kind of a pain in the ass if you want to use the USB-MIDI of the Virus, while using the Analog outputs of the Virus, as well as the Virus plug to edit patches and stuff.

My workaround is use the Virus with MIDI and analog outs like a normal synth, and then the USB when editing/designing patches.

Sorry if that makes no sense, but the Virus is still great!

I picked up a Snow a couple of months ago and have totally fallen in love with it. Particularly the Mod Matrix. You can get sucked down some pretty deep holes in there.

Thanks for the replies.

Is it possible to still sync the Virus WITHOUT using the USB or VC stuff? I'd like to be able to sync the Virus's arps if I were to abandon the VC.

If you're having problems routing the Virus's channels, I think I saw somewhere on the internet that there is a workaround for splitting one of the Virus stereo channels into two Live tracks. Not sure if that is the same thing though.
