Problem with Virus Os change!!!

[Dj Shy]

Hi people, I'm pretty a newbie in here and I tried few minutes ago to search for my problem through the SEARCH function but, no results were displayed, even if I tried with several combinations of words..

so I'm heading you with my problem:

I own a Virus TI keyboard and using Cubase 4 as sequencer.

The problems is simply this: I can't open 2 sound device of my Virus since, of course I have established only the USB link from the Keyboard to my pc.

I'm also a newbie in making music so I maybe don't know such basically or easier way to solve this problem. Someone told me about freezing the device I opened but Cubase says that "Freezing is not available" for Virus TI.

I know I can open more and more sound into the inner Vst ('till 16 patches, isn't it? ),burt how do I let them sound??
Assigning each sound device to an own BUS of the Virus was my solution, but then when I "play" the song into the Sequencer it always sounds ONE bus. (it's a lil bit difficult to explain to you the problem, hope u could get it as well)

You can't open two instances of Virus Control. The 16 parts are assigned to MIDI channels 1 to 16. So you will have to open new MIDI tracks and assign them to each channel for them to sound.

Hi there,thanks 4 the info.

I'just just grab the OS 3 version of TI and I'm looking now at the general layout aspect.

First strange thing: NOW If I open twice the Virus TI into Cubase, it opens!!

BUT now the problem is: it doesn't play. Even if I open only 1 device, it doesn't open. Do I have to click on somewhere or install something else in order to let the Keyboard work?
(PS. It doesn't get any signal when I press any key button of the Keyboard! No green light into the Vst controller)

you can only use one instance of the TI plug-in.

the TI has 3 stereo streams of audio coming from the device into cubase. I don't know about cubase, but you will need to assign your different parts to one of the 3 USB streams, then route the audio for that stream into the track that you want in the program... all from one plug-in.

16 parts? yes! 16 distinct audio streams? nope!

Yeah I got it, but now as I wrote above, I found a different problem, after having brought from Access music site the OS 3 patch!!

EDIT: Ehm,think it's only due to the fact that is a BETA version the os3, maybe that's the only reason why it doesn't work properly switching my Virus from 2.7.5 to the 3.0... I'll re-update the Synth with the 2.7.5. version now..
