Virus Control is not a soft synth, its just an interface to the Virus TI hardware, so you can only have one instance of it loaded, as you only have one Virus TI synth.
As with other hardware synths, then all parts send their audio out through whichever output combination you selected for the part:
- Analog outs 1, 2 or 3 and/or
- USB outs 1 and 2.
If you are only using USB audio, then that basically gives you 2 pairs of outputs - if thinking in Cubase soft synth terms, think of 16 instances of battery bussed into a group, and you can only apply in-Cubase fx to the group channel.
If you want to apply part specific fx, then apply the FX on the TI itself, or as is more usual, bounce the part to an audio track so you can process it individually.
Basically solo it (mute the other TI parts) and record each to an audio track.
Is this your first hardware synth? If so - hardware synths have alot of advantages, but also come with some limitations relative to soft synths that you have to learn to live with if you want to use it multi-timbrally - this basically means you have to bounce to audio to separate out the parts for processing.
