Sorry to say that I haven't heard from any professional user that the whole Virus USB thing works. Look closely at all the "stars" who use Viruses. They never do that in USB mode live. It's either audio glitches, or LFO and ARP time glitches, or heavy latency. Hell, my TI2 doesn't even synch to DIN MIDI reliably. I resorted to sending Arps as midi notes to the DAW, quantize there and send the quantized midi notes back to the Ti2, recording analog audio back into the DAW if I need correct timing. But I got rid of the screeching sound by not using USB audio.
I had many discussions with the (very competent and friendly) Access support, Jörg Hüttner mostly, but there wasn't any real progress.
That aside, the TI is a great instrument
I love my virus for the sound, but for me it doesn't work as advertised. Access is only answering "can't be, it's not faulty at our test system" or "use another / no / three usb hubs". Fact is, what they attempt to do just doesn't work over usb reliably. It does sometimes, but not always.
