Hi there

I'm just about to take receipt of a Virus Ti polar and wondered if anyone can give me the latest information on compatibility with Win7 and Ableton Live 8.

I run Ableton Live 8.1 on a Windows 7 64 bit PC. Given Live is a 32 bit application I presume the 64 bit virus control software wont run in Live. Presumably then I have to install the 32 bit control software. Has anyone tried this on Windows 7 64 bit, and is this likely to work OK with Live?

Many thanks for the advice - apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I could not find an answer by searching

so in answer to my own question, the 32bit virus control centre does not install on win7 64 bit, so I had no option but to install the 64 bit version. This contains both 32 and 64 bit drivers however so no problem there with Live - so far virus control appears to be running nicely in Live (and Reaper) but wont run standalone for some reason

In any case I am blown away by the virus, it is a work of art and german quality, a joy to program both from the synth itself and from virus control - yes it is a digital sounding synth and it doesn't sound particularly analogue (which might upset some people) but for my purposes it is perfect - I will be posting more to my blog as soon as I can pull myself away from it, and hope to get some youtube clips going soon
