but are you serious about the knob thing!? that's awesome! so, you can either edit your Virus with the knobs on the screen OR the actual knobs on your Virus?
No more sysex dumps at the beginning of songs! (other than to load a patch from the Virus to Rekon)
Could you please explain the process involved in loading up a song that has the Rekon plugin? So you open it up and the settings on the Virus change without pressing play?

The knob thing happens when you allow the MIDI output of the virus to go to the Rekon. So in this case you use 3 tracks per part:
Rekon to Virus
All Inputs to Virus
All Inputs to Rekon
This configuration allows you to dump the current patch into the Rekon and twiddle the Virus to edit the sound. The Store Preset function in SX3 makes this useable. However, I can imagine this configuration getting pretty messy in a multi (/single) setup with a Rekon on each channel. The lack of sysex ability cripples the functionality in this area anyway.
I'm looking forward to getting a manual that explains how we should be using this plugin. I was hoping for something that meant not having to touch the Virus itself, but sadly that's not happening here. However, on a positive note the idea of centralising all of the patch storage and tweaking within the DAW project is great. I could really use a full set of Virus presets to start with though. That would make this a far more presentable package IMHO.
