To give you an idea - TI integrates instantly into Cubase 5 32bit on XP with a 10-15 second start up. No latency issues with a buffer size of 512 set. TI may overload if running 8+ patches or working for several hours and alt tabbing in and out of projects. Other then that, it works perfectly.

From what I can tell this is a known issue with using USB outs. Are you using USB or regular outs? I think if I were using MIDI from controller to Virus, then just using audio outs it wouldn't be an issue for me. Problem is if I switch from USB to outs (for example, using the D button on each part in Virus Control) the latency issue is mostly resolved (or at least well enough).
I am also on Win 7 64bit (since FL9 is 32 bit that means I'm running the 64bit driver but the 32-bit plugin).
What I really need to do is figure out how much of a PITA its going to be, long-term to integrate this into my creation workflow. I can already tell I was very spoiled with regard to workflow using VSTs.
Right now I am inclined to chalk a lot of this up to teething pains. I remember first buying Zebra2 and feeling a bit helpless with it not having worked with modular architectures before, then I picked it up a year or so later and invested the time to actually learn it soup to nuts and found it to be a "go to" synth.
Maybe the TI will be the same way for me. I have noticed a couple of positives: #1 - I can get very lush, reverbed unison hypersaw pads (sort of a staple of trance) without using any CPU, things that would probably cost me 20% CPU if I even could get the same sound with a VST plus a reverb plugin. That's pretty valuable right there, and the slow attack of pad type sounds means timing doesnt have to be that tight #2 - I've noticed most sounds tend to cut through the mix a little better than a soft synth, at least all things equal (given the same amount of attention to tweaking).
So all-in-all a little disappointed in the sense that I'm not sure the TI can truly be the centerpiece of my music with the latency issues and only 3 USB outs, but maybe with some work it can become a key piece of it.
Anyone have any Virus experience in FL9? Is there any way to route the non-USB outputs to mixer tracks in FL? Will my latency woes go away if I switch DAWS?
Thanks for all feedback.
