Because I usually run my virus in multimode, to be able to add more layers from virus to my track. No other reasons. Why should there be option to use it in single mode, any differences there?

Which virus do you have in use? Are you sure your deviceID's matches?

Ah! That is something I will have a look tonight / next monday.

Yes this is something we're working on already. Since the plugin was written from scratch rather than copy paste from JP-80x0 plugin, it functions different on the display thingy

It loads the hardware memory only when you first time install your Virus TI to your daw the first time. After that, you can find, add and remove patch data from /user/documents/access music/virus ti/patches

going to make some updates

Ah ok. I guess it makes sense as on a TI it would load in Sequencer mode as soon as you load the plugin.

I have a Virus C. I have selcted Virus C in the plugin and the deviceID's match up (both set to 1)


Thanks for your responses. I am very much looking forward to the further development/additions. Like I said before; this will be the best offering in the market of editor/control/plugin for Virus (for anyone who does not have a TI)

Cheers.
