question for you all

[mighty]

I usually just use the midi out port on synths, and plug it into my midi in port on my 2496, and live record over it.......now that I have the virus, alot of patches have effects on them, so I can't sync the playing up with the notes..........so, my question is, are you all running midi out (from the sequencer or host) back to your virus, so it plays the notes right, or are most of you, recording all night, until you nail the perfect recording.
I ask because I am thinking, it would be A WHOLE lot easier, to set up the midi out and select a port, then have the virus accept "x" port, and then it can play your midi notes you recorded quantized, chopped, etc etc etc.

I use fl studio btw, and setting up midi outs is a breeze, so I figured I could buy another midi cable, and go from PC/MAC to midi in on our synth, and then make the according changes for the virus to see the midi notes............viola, it's played back with your track "spot" on, and you just have to record the audio playing the notes, you already recorded (and are playing back).....


Good idea, someone is doing this already, etc etc etc?????
