i use Garageband 3 and Logic Pro 7.2.3 at the moment. using a Firepod to connect to a G5 quad. i have no complaints at all.

Why would you need another midi device to control the virus? i'm confused, if it's a TI it'll do anything that the bcr2000, remote sl,etc. will do and much more, unless i'm uderstanding you wrong?
I sequence with Logic btw. and use my TI as a control surface for many of my AU/VST Instruments.
