Another Polar/Sonar 6PE user here experiencing similar issues. mystp - thanks for the heads up regarding the OS2 - I didn't get any notice from Access that this was released. I'd like to know if Cakewalk and Access are coordinating an effort to resolve some of these problems.

Well, I'm planning on getting a Virus TI in a few months. Cubase may be on the horizon for me as well unless this issue gets fixed.

Well, we can always hope. I've asked Alex Westner what came of the testing they did when they got hold of a TI back in September - but have yet to hear back from him. Hopefully they'll work out a solution so the TI with Virus Control can get to work properly in Sonar.

Im the next one who still waiting for fix latency problem in Virus Control.
Also there is other problem with VC. I can't copy/paste automation of plugin :(

CakeWalk,
Do you have any information regarding this? I'm getting my TI tomorrow.....

Hopefully Cakewalk and Access can work out a solution, but you're currently out of luck if you want to use the Total Integration features on the Virus TI with Sonar.

That stinks! Well, I'll see what I can do anyway. I should be getting my TI tonight.

I'll post my results in a few days......

Well, you're not totally out of luck with the TI. Mine works fine for real-time playing/browsing and I use my TI as my primary MIDI controller; however, if you want to sequence Virus parts and bounce them to an audio track, you'll have to go the MIDI/audio track, rather than the TI for now.

FYI - one very cool feature of the TI that I was not aware of before buying mine is that the Virus Control software library lets you directly access Virus banks/patches on your hard drive without loading them into your Virus. You just add the folder(s) containing the patches to your personal library and select them from the browser the same way you'd select an internal patch. I have about 15,000 Virus patches that I've purchased/downloaded over the years for my previous Virus models, so I love this feature! So, I recommend going to the Access website and downloading all of the free banks when you get your TI, if you haven't already done so - the TI will play banks from every previous Virus model.

I don't understand this. Can you be more specific? I apologize, this is my first hardware setup. I've been all software until now.

I can't figure out how to record audio from the TI now. Keep in mind, I'm connected via USB exclusively.

The TI is supposed to allow you to bounce your audio to track in your DAW via the Virus Control software, which basically treats your Virus as a VST (i.e., soft synth) while it is connected to your DAW via USB. However, it does not work properly with Sonar yet. So, you can sequence parts using Virus Control, but in order to render them to audio, you need to connect your Virus TI MIDI in/out to a MIDI port and its audio outputs to your sound card, re-assign the ins/outs in your Sonar MIDI and audio tracks accordingly, then record the part(s) in real-time. This is essentially the same way you would do it with any other hardware synth. It's Friday night and I just got back from dinner/beer with friends, so hopefully, that makes sense, but if not, feel free to ask for clarification .

BTW, did you get your TI yet? Which model - desktop, full synth, or Polar? This is my third Virus (Polar) and I absolutely love it!
