ProTools HD and Access Virus TI ??

[petja]

Hi guys.

i am curious has anyone got any experience connecting Access Virus TI hardware synth with ProTools HD ? i am considering to use it together and would like to know is it possible to open it within ProTools session as an instrument or it is not compatible ??

at Access web page it described only once, that it is RTAS compatible. does it mean , that i will be able to open it within ProTools HD session or not ?

please help. i am new to ProTools and trying to set the right configuration up.

any comments and suggestions will be kindly appreciated.

thank you,
Vladimir

Hi,

I was using it recently on 7.4cs4 on 10.4.11, and yes the RTAS Virus Control does work to some degree. To qualify this, running Virus Control under PT is no where near as smooth as under logic or cubase, but to be fair to PT, virus control isnt a normal plugin.

If your using VC (Virus Control) as a patch librarian, and editor, then its fine, but streaming audio via plugin leads to a huge issue concerning ADC, even set at maximum which the default template project file they provide is far from satisfactory in my book. I prefer to run normal midi 5pin din input/output to the TI, and bring the audio back in via either spdif or analog outs into my Protools interfaces. This works very well, midi clock works as it should, and even the arpeggiators sync well most of the time too if you setup midi in protools to sent tempo sync etc. This is the most problem free configuration.
