Hi Origami,

Yes it should work fine.

The USB audio transfer is 16bit.

For other rates, like using a 96kHz project, the Virus Control does provide you with an appropriate audio stream.

The Virus will not prevent you using your prefered project environment. Just try it.

This is the stuff the TI user want to know and I've not found anything like this info communcated in the manual or online at Access. I have a Polar here for evaluation and the possibility to use it in what kind of project's sampling rate is an absolut crucial information! I feared, until your statement, that I would be stucked with 44.1/48 projects. Personally I have no problems anymore to have a synth sample rate converted into e.g. a 96 Khz project - SRCs are nowadays very good. Is the TI USB driver or the TI internally doing a sampling rate conversion to the projects sampling rate? How does it work? I thought about the possiblity to do an SRC with the digital output of the TI but was stucked with the problem that the playback via the SPDIF is not latency compensated and is completely out of time with higher latency. It's a drawback here because there should be a V-Control option to delay compensate the SPDIF output too. Is this coming? Are there other options for USB streaming in the pipeline, like 24 bit streaming on one USB stereo channel or alike?

But you are giving out crucial and important info here which is highly appreciated. There is no official forum availabe AFAIK and therefore it's much more interactive to include other users instead just having a simple two way communication with the support.
The new TI series is huge step forward IMO in usability of external hardware synths within host applications and it should be supported by good and splendid communcation from Access.

There isnt a an official forum - just a mailing list that works kind of like a forum.

I dont use it because I hate all the spam that mailing lists generate.

Ampfea manage their mailing lists very well, and the likelihood of your getting spam via the access list is incredibly small. It's more of a problem with some of the more common hosts, e.g. Yahoo.

i was wondering how this is achieved aswell!
im thinking it must be the usb driver?
which is also strange because realtime samplerate conversion
is heavy stuff i thought!

i don't have too much tech knowledge, but it sounds to me like your DAW must act like a 'master' clock synchronizer, and the TI follows the sample rate set by it.

i could be completely wrong, tho.
