Virus TI and Sonar X1.

Just wanted to inform the TI users that the new OS 44105 works great with X1 thus far.

On that note, does anyone have a .INS file of all the RAM/ROM factory banks by chance? I of course created a custom .INS to access all the banks via midi mode. (Ya I know you can use Virus Control and see all the banks, but there are allot of times I do not want VC active and I have my reasons due to hardware setups)

A txt file with name names would work too (Cant pull the list from the PDF unfortunately) No current sounddiver and really its not an option.. thanks

Ya I will.. I've gotten full .ins files for all my hardware the TI was next.. Ill let you know thats for the tip. Didnt know acrobat had that feature.

Hi Dave,

Hmm I believe the OS was released on the 2nd or 4th of this month. I just got around to install it (being really careful with the updates on the TI. If I find something rock solid I tend not to take risks working with Sonar.

2 New filters, stomp boxes and some other goodies.

Also Im nearly done with the TI ins now. Spent all morning on it.  If you need lemme know.

Best,

Scott,
Assume you mean OS 41105 (rather than 44105) - what system are you running it under?

I can't get past the 'Starting Up' screen of Virus Control using 41105 (Win7, 64bit) and it's driving me mad.
... and I'm loathe even contemplate a downgrade of the OS.

Let me know chap.
 

Cheers Scott.

Looks like I'll be trudging back to XP until the next OS update then... ;)
Thanks anyway.

That said - seems I jumped the gun a little; I have some good news to report (!):

Decided to test how the Virus would behave under the 32bit installation of X1 before returning to the XP side of my dual-boot. 
Dutifully installed X1 (32bit) alongside the 64bit version, attempted to launch VirusControl and lo (!) the Virus is happy(!).

Very happy actually, timing seems tighter than before and no (god-awful) interference with delay compensation. Still a couple of tiny issues with the arp re-triggering but otherwise probably the best implementation I've seen in Sonar.
I'm a happy bunny.

Scott - I've been wrestling with the upgrade from XP/32bit to win7/64bit for almost the exact same reasons (VirusTI & MOTU Traveller in my case) - finally had to take the plunge as I needed more RAM (>4Gb) for which 32bit simply can't cater.
(that and I rather shamefully have a Microsoft Qualification in Win7)

I'd be happy to let you know how it goes/tell you when it's safe to jump ship ;)
Cheers again,
Dave

The Access TI is one of the most versatile hardware synths I've ever seen. It's one of my alltime favorites.

Add several thousands user patches for free, many first class sounds among them for you to tweak away, starting there if you wish, and you have a real synth powerhouse covering many styles and genres. Many Effects, and Arps on board as well...

Hello alll

Did see this thread today, sorry for late post...

Well, I do also have the Virus TI Snow, a MOTU Ultralite MK3, running Sonar X1 on Windows 7 x64. The thing is that I can use the Virus, even though that Sonar don't include the Virus TI Snow (Automap).dll file or Virus TI Snow. dll in Plug-in manager - [Novation Automap Pro] However it do find Virus TI.dll. These three files are in my VST-plugin folder both 32 and 64 bit.

I didn't know that Virus and Sonar was a bad match. I love both the Virus and the new Sonar X1, and I want to use them both.

Well I bit the bullet and got myself a TI Snow. It taking a little getting used to, especially with the Snow and all it's sub-menus, but I love the sound so much that I don't regret it one bit. Anyone who says that a softsynth like Omnisphere (for example) is as good as a Virus hasn't spent enough time with one. Don't get me wrong, I have Omnisphere and I find that the level of creativity that went into it is inspiring, but it's no Virus. The only thing I'd ever trade it for would be another Virus (like the desktop or POLAR). I just didn't have the money for that!

Nope they work great together.

Make sure you turn off Delay compensation under the plug-in properties if  you are using audio out 'vs' the USB audio routing. I have everything down to a snappy 1.5ms and syncing fantastic by reverting back to the 1/4 ich outputs. Otherwise you may experience slower playback and or timing to be slighty delayed due to delay compensation.

Best,
