Right, here's my problem, i can't understand how to use the Vcontrol in Live 5.
I manage to open VC as a plugin and use it on one channel, but how to use it on more than one? Since the user can't open more than one instance of VC at a time (understadably since it contains all 16 parts) how are you supposed to use all these parts in separate channels in Live?
As i am thinking of buying Logic 7 as well, i reckon this is a genuine question for all sequencers...
thanks to the ones who take the time to answer...

As I'm at work right now... and don't have Live in front of me... I'm gonna give you the basics. First of all, multi-channel VST plug ins are described in the manual. Here's something close to what you have to do:

1. Load the VST (That VST track is MIDI 1 & Audio 1)

2. Create additional AUDIO tracks (consider them buses) for the additional Virus Audio channels

3. Set the "Audio from" selector on those new audio tracks to receive the
different audio outputs from the original 1st midi track

4. Set their monitor to ON, and they should all route to the master

5. Create the additional MIDI channels, point their MIDI Output to the Virus.

6. Set the MIDI channel numbers for those tracks.

... please remember, this is from memory.
