cant it do that at least. combine the 2 methods.

i am counting on it

I do it. USB VC for song creation - if you can stand the problems of timing when changing patches stuck notes etc. Use a FXP save in VC (you'll need this later). Then Pull out the usb cable, re-assign all midi to VirusTI to (insert hardware midi port here). You have to be working with analog outs and know how to deal with late / early delay issues. I use a delay plugin on all the hardware inputs (Creamware Pulsar).
You can use this method to get a glitch free mixdown. Then to work on the track again you have to close everything. Plugin the USB, reload, use the FXP save incase you lost or saved over you VC settings.
