I too would like to get a approximate date when the 64-bit driver is coming out. I can wait, but I'm concerned now because there is no information about it.

Just get out the midi cables and make some music duder.

64bit will come eventually.

test it and you will see using a 64 bit os is just wasting time at this point of time

better stick to your productive 32 bit os untill windows 8 and really be productive and not just testing stuff

Everything I use works very well under Vista 64 using Cubase 5 32-bit. I installed Vista on my new i7 machine with 6GB of RAM to make use of that full 4GB of memory in Cubase. The only thing I am restriced on right now is my inability to use Virus Control with the TI because of this disappointing lack of 64-bit drivers.

The comment was that Windows 8 (or whatever they will call it) will be 64-bit only. This is true, Windows 7 will be the last Windows OS to come in a native 32-bit version. Windows 8 will only include the WOW64 compatability layer, but the 64-bit kernel will still require 64-bit drivers.

I only use my Virus TI with the plugin and USB interface. Why would I want to deal with the hassle of taking up 2 more inputs on my interface, connecting MIDI (for which I have no old-school MIDI interface), trying to get everything to sync, etc, etc. I could just stick to my plugins. That TI is starting to look more and more like a candidate for eBay.
