Another thing: please find a place for the random knob as that's also a part of the Virus ;)

Will try to add it later on and noticed your previous post as well. Have you tried our latest version which I released on friday?

v1.1.0 is out - Major update
 

Virus|HC AU / VSTi plug-in v1.1
Fully integrated!

Since December 2014, we have come a long way with our Virus|HC plugin and its updates. This new update is a major release, which you should download and update as soon as possible!

Whats new?
Well the biggest addition could be that we added "VirusTI" functions to our plugin. Saying that, VirusTI user arp editor can't be added, because it is impossible for us to debug the USB data flow.
If someone knows how we / or someone else could investigate USB cable data flow between the Virus and computer, let us know!

Additions and fixes since v1.0.6

• [New] Manual has been completely re-written and it can be view from either product page, plug-in updates page or you can find it from your HDD where you installed it.
• [New] Modulation Matrix and LFO slots updated if model selection is VirusTI.
• [New] Rest of the known VirusTI controls added and data being parsed to the UI when changing patches.
• [New] Value display now shows knob, menu, button "value" in screen based on the controller AND current #cc value inside -characters.
• [Fixed] Filter link switch didn't work as supposed under certain Virus models.
• [Fixed] Patch names can be only 10 characters long in the displays.
• [Fixed] Removed "Select MIDI Ports" notification popup due to the fact that it was annoying :D
• [Fixed] Under some conditions, processing data window did not appear.
• [Fixed] Reduced graphics cpu load.
• [Fixed] Incoming multi data was skipped after parts data was processed prior to last update.
• [New] Updated librarian graphics to meet the patch numbering from hardware. Now counts from 0 to 127.
• [New] Added Virus|TI Oscillators 1 & 2 with their knobs, menus etc.
• [New] Added Virus|TI Reverb functions to the plugin.
• [New] Graphics updated to included buttons, menus and switches for new features.
• [New] Added Virus|TI Mod Matrix destinations for all slots that were missing.
• [New] Added Virus|TI Envelope 3 & Envelope 4 knobs to the user interface. They can be viewed by selecting different envelope from menu.
• [Fixed] Improved incoming MIDI data transmission over the plugin to the hardware.
• [Fixed] Some controls (amp release, lfo1 rate, lfo2 rate) didn’t respond to incoming midi messages.
• [Fixed] Delay / Reverb settings and knobs didn’t work as supposed, when adjusting knob from hardware.
• [Fixed] When Lfo 1 osc 1 & 2 link was on, link didn’t work when osc 2 knob was moved.
• [Fixed] When Lfo 2 filter 1 & 2 link was on, link didn’t work when filter 2 knob was moved.
• [Fixed] Oscillator 1 & 2 Semitone values displayed wrong value on plugin interface when knob was moved from hardware.
• [New] Override Patch Tempo button in settings #2 tab now fetches tempo information from your host and overrides the current tempo of the hardware. If tempo is changed after setting MIDI I/O from the plugin, original tempo data is intact. Reload either MIDI in or MIDI out port from plugin interface to update Virus tempo info.
• [New] User can now scroll thru hardware memory per part from the previous / next buttons. Current bank selection from plugin selects same bank from hardware. User can also scroll thru the library when “control library from midi / hw” is enabled as announced in v1.0.5 update.
• [Note] In Apple Logic, program change commands that come in from channel 1 won’t be sent towards any plugins. This means that you have to use your master keyboard on a different channel in order to manage librarian / hardware memory with it :)

Let me know your thoughts! :rolleyes:

Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the heads up!

Will try the new version tonight! Keep up the good work! Cheers ;)

Hi! :)

i have 3 questions about that.

1. Does this solve my timing problems ? *1
2. Does this work with USB and or Midi ?
3. What do i need in Windows and ableton? do i need a third party Midi loopback ?


*1 - I bought my Ti in 2005 as it was brandnew. i was in contact with access since the first day with the Virus. Also with ableton...
I was totaly frustrated by the Ti software and so i doesent use the virus with my DAW for long time.

The Virus is the Only Device on the USB Roothub.
Some month ago i updated the software and tested it again.. same procedure as every year ;)
And i emailed ableton again my problem and that i am unhappy with the situation since 2005 they send me a Test file with 10 Virus patches in the Ti software. And this works without a timing problem.
This is driving me crazy ..

i wont give it up. I love the Virus but i hate the Ti software...

Yesterday i made a Latency test with an external Midi synth (BS2) and ableton. The External Synth was 100% in sync with 1.5ms latency on my RME.

After adding the Ti Software in ableton the external synth was nearly a 16th delayed.
I deleted The TI plugin .. and the External synth was now delayed about 32th :D
i am so sick of it !! :)

Hardware
AMD A8 @ 4200Ghz
16Gig RAM
SSD
RME HDSPe 32Ch Adat.
3 Digital Adat Mixers ( Latency compensation for i/o in ableton 1,5ms )
WIN8

Hi,

1. Direct connection with MIDI is better, but if the sync issues are coming from hardware, we can't fix that. Try the demo and see how it runs :)
2. Plugin only works via MIDI so you need a midi device for it to work.
3. Just the plugin and the app (daw) where you run it.

Read the manual before installing so you have it all configured as it should be :)

1. I have only problems if i use the Virus Controll software ..
Without The Virus Software all is tight. Also if i use the max4live Virus device. But the Original Virus Controll Software kills that all. even if it is removed from the project. Dont know why.

2. Midi is ok i have enough midi ports .. but. The Virus is Hardwired with other Hardware ( Spectralis, LexiconFx, Akai Filter... ect ) Normaly i dont want to change the configuration.. but if it only works with midi .. and if my timing issue would be solved, then i will think about that.
3. yo. :)

ok i will check the testversion.. i hope after 10 years the total integration will be functional even if it is a Half integration :D

UH !

it is tight!!! And it doesent affect the timing and latency in ableton. :)
I think the Pitchbend is disabled in the demo because there is no automation?
And i dont get any Patches that are stored on my Ti .. also demo ?

thank you ! :)

Did you read the documentation in full to get the idea how to get patches in plugin browser etc? :)

Plugin works as a "own application" so it won't have any effect on the latency.
You can always add midi tracks to your live and play parts over midi tracks + handle pitchbend from there.
You can use the plugin as a librarian / automation helper / total recaller for project settings :)

yes it is "like" the original Ti software.. but without timing problems :) and some goodies.

it seems that i waited 10 years for that.

Also the Mixer is a superb function !!

I tested it with 7 Patches on 7 midi chanels without problems.
In sync with an external synth and internal ableton drums.

as you can see in the screenshot :)
