The product adds additional options to your hardware. But my experience was that it required a bit research and trial and error. When you get it to work it offers many new options, plus more presets!

The best solution to Access no longer supporting the Ti Editor Software. Better yet complete functionality with all previous Virus Synths. Perfectly suits the studio demands. I am running on MACOS for both the Virus Darkstar Ti2 and Virus Ti Snow.

Is everything here a slam dunk? No, not really. Are there some cool sounds that are getting used? Why yes, yes there are. Feeling good overall.

Not perfect by any stretch, but it does what I need it to do. Wasn't quite as intuitive as the hydrasynth software - which I feel is the gold standard right now - but once I spent some time with it, I've got no real complaints. And the Virus truly is a spectacular instrument: with the Aura plugin, it has the modern conveniences I've come to appreciate.

I use the editor with Virus TI Polar on a Mac Mini M1. It still has some bugs and sometimes crashes Ableton. Still, I can abide that because it does what it does so well. I have got streaming via USB to work as well, following the instructions on this site. However, that does not work flawlessly, longer midi notes seem to result in dropouts. I’m not a great fan of the graphics with rack screws et c, I prefer apps to look like apps (like Ableton does). Excellent customer support via the Discord server. All in all it’s a great asset to the Virus, especially on a Mac. If you are a Mac user and buy a Virus TI, the editor is money well invested. But I do hope some of the bugs will be sorted in coming versions.

I have a Virus TI (mkI) in tandem with both Logic X and Pro Tools on an M2 based Mac, this plugin has really breathed life back into my TI. Especially since I was able to restore the audio over USB integration. Main takeaways for me: a plugin that can control every aspect of the virus via both DAWs mentioned, a librarian, and instructions that restored the USB audio from the virus (6 mono or 3 stereo, have not played w/ USB input to the virus, yet). Read the manual and notes carefully and take your time before installation. The plugin is a bit heavy on resources but it brings your aging friend back to the table.

It does work decently, it does what it says it does however it is not the smoothest experience. I suppose that comes down to the actual hardware of the Blofeld. If you want to properly organize your patches it is pretty much a necessity.

Nice work. I have been looking for something like this for many years. Hoping for Apple Silicon support in the next version.

Hello The app is good, however you could bring the GUI closer to the original virus ti 2. The less and vst pages even if the colors are different and the writing fonts if the look is practically the same, the visualization of waveforms, clocks etc would make the user feel more familiar. With these evolutions of the app, user feedback will be a blast and you will have much more openness on the part of buyers and thus greatly increase the volume of business. Thank you Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I"m realy impressed by the work around this control plugin for blofeld. It opens the full potential of the synth. Some sysex message can cause "latency" or litle "freeze" of the blugin (not the sound) and it's normal. But every CC controls of the synth engine are realy responsives even with multis. I'm really happy to use it and have the possibilty to create layers or multi part in one instance of the blugin. Great work.

with the editor not only give me the ability to load sounds onto the Access, but also to utilize the TI Sound Archive. It runs smoothly and the control from the Virus to the editor is a comprehensive feature.

this is great product if it is constantly working, but it doesn't. The customer service is ok specially with the discord channel. but there are a lot of problems with this software including, saving patches and banks and I have a lot of syncing issues specially using the Arp on the synth.

It still doesn't seem real to me, my instrument seems to have been reborn

This has reopened the TI2 on my Mac, great work Aura! Highly recommended.
Access Virus Editor and Librarian
Using a TI Virus (I´m using a Virus KB and a Virus TI2) with a Mac-system the editor is a real gem. Currently I've mostly used the librarian functionality. Creating sounds with the editor seems to be very good supported but up to now I´m still using the "hardware" method. A little drawback is the communication with my MIDI-interface. When connecting the MIDI-interface to a powered USB-hub then the editor doesn't detect the interface. Connecting the interface directly with a Mac USB-port (iMac 2012 model) then everything works fine. But nevertheless, the editor is a very helpful and well designed tool and I highly recommend the editor to all Access Virus users.

Just came out of an ugly experience with a Blofeld editor librarian of another software house, that is stuck to a version older than two years and doesn't open on MacOs Ventura as it didn't open in Monterey's as well, and no AU plugin for it, only VST !. So it's easy to see how happy I am to have found a piece of software that finally works as it suppose to, just this mere fact is refreshing I would say. It is efficient, logically well laid out and has a plugin in AU format so I can use it within Logic. Life is good

I'm usually not compelled to leave in depth reviews but in this case the Virus HC deserves it. It's fantastic: a vast, vast improvement over the "Virus Control" plugin that comes bundled the Virus from the manufacturer. VirusHC transforms my VirusTI2 into a live performance instrument, where I can adjust ANY patch sound parameter in real time for emotional effect. For example....want to control all parameters of the Virus TI2 Arp with a midi pot? Want to control Reverb send with a midi slider? The Virus itself can't midi map any of those parameters, but VirusHC handles it without issue FOR EVER SINGLE MULTIPART. Whereas the built-in Virus midi map is somewhat comprehensive...it just can't hold a candle to VirusHC which allows midi mapping of virtually ANY patch parameter on every multipart. VirusHC's ability to allow the Virus to function as a real-time live performance instrument *really* allows the Virus to shine. All the richness and complexity that we enjoy in sound design by manipulating Virus parameters can now be experienced by others in real time as we play. From my point of view, the only thing lacking in the VirusHC is the ability to MIDI map a button that reloads the current patch in a specific multipart. Failing to include that feature somewhat limits the ability of the VirusHC to fully transform the Virus into a live performance instrument where you could, for example, adjust sound parameters in real time with midi for emotional effect....and then with a touch of a midi pot revert back to the original sound you started with. The ability to "reload the current patch" in a multi was something many users of the Virus requested from the manufacturer in the Access Music forums: but it never happened. I'm hoping that the next release of the VirusHC will include a "Reload Patch" midi-mappable button in each part. Fingers crossed!!! Like the Virus itself, VirusHC is somewhat complicated to setup and wants a 100% perfect setup configuration or it will not function as advertised. Read and follow the manual 110%. For those reviews claiming Version 3 does not work? All I can say it works perfectly in Windows 10 21H2 with my Virus TI2. Read and follow the manual. SETUP: Windows 10 21H2. AMD 5950X Ableton Live 11. FaderFox PC12.
