Need help using all of the Virus's 16 parts in logic

[Arty]

hello people

I am a dance music producer and I am running into a problem I can't solve myself.

What I'm trying to do is to use all 16 parts of my virus TI and that each part has its own mixer channel. I have an M-audio firewire Profire 610 Audio interface but I don't know how it will help me with the goal im trying to reach. All the help I need i can find here and I'll appreciate all who are able to get me through.

PS: I use logic Studio 8

You won't have much luck running all 16 parts at the same time...the computer and virus wont handle it. I can get 4 (5 if im lucky) max. in the common page in the VC you can direct parts to 3 separate usb channels and 3 separate analogue outs, thats all.

I also have an audio interface with me. Can using the virus through that increase the number of channels I can use?

i would say no , the bottom line is you will need a moiracle from god to run 16 parts without glitches , pops , clicks and 'dropouts' , its much better to work with less and maybe maximise the ' minimalism ' aspect of music making.

Even if the virus did work with 16 parts you only would have 3 stereo analog outs, 3 stereo usb outs and 1 stereo spdif out this would lead you to 7 different channels or 14 different PANNED mono channels

if you need more Virus tracks than your synth&pc can handle, you can always record some tracks to audio files and use elsewhere the synth's sound engine

Ah, okay. The main thing im asking is, how do i set up my virus with an audio interface so I can have each part (as many as I can use) have its own mixer channel in logic?

You can assign outputs on the virus to individual parts, but you are limited to the amount of physical outputs on the virus.

Well im tyring to set everything up but its so hard in logic to do what i want to. I have to use all these busses and whatnot and its so confusing.

I create 16 auxillaries but Im not seeing any options to put the TI in them. This is from running it with just USB. Can anyone really help me here.
