Access Virus Editor Intro
Access Virus Editor & Librarian is designed to control your Access Virus right from your DAW. With our Editor, you can work with your Access Virus by the same way you use your virtual instrument plug-ins. Our Editor will recall your patch settings when you open your project and the data will be sent to your Virus automatically once you open your project. Your synthesizer is always synchronized with your session! The only thing you need to worry, is that you power-up your synthesizer.
Access Virus C and Access Virus Editor
Faster workflow
Access Virus Editor brings hardware integration to modern Digital Audio Workstation environments. Access Virus Editor & Librarian plug-in works seamlessly with all Access Virus synthesizers.
It is now much faster to scroll thru sounds and make tweaks within your DAW. Automate parameters with real hardware control names. The best part is, our Editor saves all the data within the project and when you reopen the project, all of the used data gets sent to your hardware, automatically! No more waiting with loading or transferring hardware data. Save time – welcome Total Recall.
- Control your Access Virus directly from your DAW.
- Automate almost every parameter directly from your DAW.
- No need to remember CC’s for each knobs / per synthesizer. Goodbye sticky notes!
- Load, Edit and Store patches into hardware memory or in your HDD personal library.
- Randomize part data or each section on its own, i.e. Osc 1!
- Store any Access Virus compatible soundset in your HDD library folder and browse it from our editor.
- Send banks or individual patches from librarian to hardware.
- Request banks or individual patches from hardware to librarian.
- Total Recall: When you reopen your project, all of the data used in it, will be sent to the hardware, automatically!
Check Specifications tab for more info about the Editor capabilities.
Realistic Bi-directional Graphical User Interface
Our graphical user interface design has been made to make everything from sound design to patch editing as smooth as possible. When you move a slider, push a button or twist a knob in your hardware, software will respond at appropriate layer/part.
Use sections locks with Randomizer function to create complex sounds while keeping the best settings untouched.
Save time, as all the edits are stored within the project, so once the project is opened up again, Total Recall will send the data to hardware automatically.

Access Virus Editor Patch Librarian
Patch and Multi mode management
Access Virus Editor comes with ability to control all 16 parts from the single plug-in instance. This means, you can have a different patches on different layers and play them at the same time, or individually.
You can send patches from Patch Librarian to your selected Part:
- Click any PART and double click a patch on the librarian to send the patch to the selected part.
- Click different PART to send another patch for different part, simple as that!
Access Virus Editor and Automation
With FULL version of Access Virus Editor & Librarian, you can automate almost every parameter right from your DAW without having to remember all of the MIDI CC’s.This can be done easily by setting your DAW automation to Write or Latch mode and then turning the knob from the hardware or the plug-in.
Some of the SysEx parameters are not available due to a lot bandwidth taken from the MIDI cable.

What our Editor can NOT do:
- Transmit any audio. You have to plug your Synthesizers audio jacks into your mixer in order to hear the sound.
macOS users can use USB to transmit audio from Virus TI to DAW with instructions found here: https://docs.auraplugins.com/kb/article/virus-ti-usb-audio-with-every-macos/ - You can not remotely start and / or shut down your Synthesizer.
Operating system specified settings / limits:
Windows limitations
Since Windows platform CAN NOT share resources between applications, it is important that you disable the MIDI input and output from your DAWs settings which you are intending to use with our Editor. If you leave the port open, our Editor will see it and once you click to use it, it might crash your DAW and you will lose your data. Link down below!
macOS limitations
macOS works “out from the box” with resource sharing, you are good to go once you insert the plugin into your DAW. However, our plugin can cause you a MIDI loop if you leave the port open / unfiltered from your hardware to your DAW. You can set various filters in your DAW.
Requirements:
- Access Virus Synthesizer (all models supported).
Access Virus A | Access Virus B / KB / Rack / Indigo | Access Virus C / KC / Rack XL / Indigo 2 | Access Virus TI Desktop / Keyboard | Access Virus TI Polar | Access Virus TI Snow - MIDI interface OR direct USB with macOS (cheap interfaces will not work due to limited support of SysEx capabilities).

Darn great!
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.

Painful to use, but it mostly works
This is by far the most confusing and unintuitive app I’ve ever used. Something as simple as saving a patch to the HW requires me to pull out the manual every time. The UI just doesn’t make sense – and it’s extremely frustrating to use (even more so than the Soundtower editors). 2 stars because it does work most of the time, I’m glad it exists (because it’s all we have) and the developer is responsive and actively trying to improve it.
To the developer – thanks for all you do, but please improve the UI.

Thanks for your comments. We will make improvements to the patch storing mechanism for sure – I’ve added this to our to-do list! UI in the other hand, follows pretty much the same feel as the original Access Editor did. SoundTower editor are totally different and we are not going to aim for “one-window-view” – it would be a mess.

acess virus editor
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

Perfect (but a little "but") ...
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.

VirusHC Transforms your Virus into a live performance instrument: READ THE MANUAL
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.

Everything is great, but unfortunately there is a serious delay on M1PRO. Because of this, you have to save sounds in WAV on separate notes and then arrange them manually, which is not very convenient. But thank you for having at least some opportunity at all.

I was not able to access all of my ROM sounds in multimode. ROM P in this case. I was also afraid this app might delete my sounds. Also, I want to direct different parts of the sound to different outputs. There are six output on my Virus TI polar. I ended up wasting half a day screwing with the beast, and ended up going back to single mode and not using the app. I had high hopes for this program but was disappointed. I felt the original Access 32 bit app was much more user friendly. Unfortunately new macs are not compatible. Time is super important, and this is a pain to use. I will go back to using software synths and samplers and probably sell my virus TI because it usually just sits there.

There are a few areas that need improvement, but they’ll fix it over time. I use it with virus ti snow and ti2 desktop without any problems.

I actually have been wanting to ask for support because I have some issues with the software that don’t seem normal. For one, the plugin doesn’t seem to remember its settings. Whenever I drop the plugin into a project, I have to re-route the midi out / in section and select from the drop down that I have a TI device. Pretty annoying having to setup the plugin every startup, is this normal? Also, sometimes all I get is audio in the right or left channel. Not sure what’s up with that. If I load a project that has the plugin in it, the audio channel balance issue is fixed. So it seems like the problem is within the plugin. Who knows.

I’m having a lot of fun with this extension. I have one small problem – occasionally my project seems to forget which patch is signed to one of the channels and it reverts to an init patch, even though it’s still labelled correctly in the AVE plugin. I then have to double click to reload the right patch. Not a big deal, but happens very regularly and can be frustrating. I am also not able to automate the main channel output level slider.. tried everything, but ended up having to automate the oscillator level knobs instead, which is a bit fiddly when more than one oscillator is in use. Overall super happy with this product though. I’m doing everything over standard midi (not USB) with a single audio channel into my audio interface, so curious to see what the upcoming usb options will allow. Does this mean I can switch entirely over to USB for both MIDI and multi-channel audio? I am always not confident of using USB for audio because my MacBook Pro requires various dongles/adaptors to convert to typeC interface and adaptor chains often cause things to become unreliable over USB. Have a great week! Christo

The program is very exiting, but I would like to make a few comments.
– not correctly working in Reason.
– the bank editing could be better (as the Midi Quest).
– rarely freezing (in Windows).
– why isn’t (User) ARP editing on Virus C only on Virus Ti?
– the program is not remembering my last settings. (I always have to load / save actual setting).
– whatever I set the device ID to 16, it only communicates at 0? (1-16).
Best Regards
Robert

Somewhat straight forward to set up, my main issue is that total recall doesn’t work on my set up for whatever reason. I’ve been using lasermammoth in place of any virus softwares 1st or 3rd party. Doesn’t offer recall but with naming tracks and saving patches to my user banks in lasermammoth, it’s the best work around I can find at the moment if I want to be able to upgrade my macOS and have a reliable workflow with my virus.

Hi as a disappointed Virus TI user, after discovering that there s no updated plug-in for newer Mac OS versions I now use the Virus Librarian editor of Mystery Islands. I would recommend to read the manual carefully. At the end of the day it does the job if you carefully configure.

It is great to finally be able to upgrade from OSX and be able to use my synth in the future.
But unfortunately quite a bit of crashing when moving knobs on my hardware synth. Hopefully future version will address that problem. otherwise still happy with the software so far.

Great plugin! Much more efficient than the one from access. A good way to revisit your Virus

Love the interface, still trying to set it up. Also would be nice to set my look (ti gui) and I have a go back to red every time I open it. Maybe it’s all user error, lol.

I’m extremely happy right now. Once again I have access to all my Virus parameters via my DAW. I’m like a kid at a candy store right now. Access is by far the greatest disappointment of all time by cancelling support for the Virus software. That was the whole damn selling point. I would really like to know what the heck Access is doing? On the contrary, Mystery Islands Music may have been the greatest discovery of all time. lol. Jani in particular was pleasant 100% of the time. He helped me to solve a couple of issues, one of which was user error. üòñ Like Jani mentions, triple check that your ins and outs. Yeah, we all know how they go, but it can still be overlooked. Especially when you’re over confident. üò¨ He was quick to respond and showed a lot of patience. I ended up getting a ESI MIDIMATE eX to make this work. I’ve just started using it today 2-20-22 and so far everything is working. I will probably be going to bed really late tonight. üò≥ I will try and update after I use it awhile. Danny Figueroa

Very nice GUI with a few bugs but Jani is really good about responding to support emails or messages. He even fixed a couple of things that I pointed out with an update within a day.

This editor is fantastic overall, very easy on the eyes and is very well laid out. Total recall is great too. However, I am giving it 4 stars based on the experience I had trying to figuring out how to save presets. I spent a great deal of time in the plugin and the manual trying to wrap my head around saving a preset that I had created, only to try to save them in several ways that I thought would work…then find out that I actually didn’t save them and the patch reverted to INIT. It actually motivated me to get the TI function of my virus working properly and I just use that now. Its unfortunate because I really like the UI for this plugin and the fact that is is scalable. (The Virus TI plugin is not…very small on a 4k TV monitor) It may be that I did not spend enough time in the manual really trying to understand the preset librarian, but ultimately the other factor for me was unstable midi timing via DIN MIDI. As far as I know, that is a problem with the Virus OS and NOT the Virus HE plugin to be clear. Rolling back your Virus TI2 to OS version 3.4.4 apparently fixes the MIDI timing (jitter) issues.(or using a RME pcie card) Ultimately I decided against rolling back my Virus OS and decided to use the Virus Control plugin on a separate lower res dedicated monitor. I think its important to recognize that this plugin is a great piece of work and I will try again to figure it out in the future, but the Librarian and its functions could be simpler in my opinion.

Great editor, which works as expected. Controlling the Virus with this editor feels like controlling a new synth. The library works like SoundDiver in the good old days. Finally I can load all my old presets again. A very small bug: in macOS renamed (‘access VIRUS Indigo’) MIDI interfaces won’t be reloaded in AU plugin when opening a LogicX project, while with standard interface name (‘USB Midi Cable’) it works fine. Probably fixed with one of the next updates…

I am very happy with this plugin! The original Virus plugin is not very stable on my Mac anymore, but your plugin is perfectly stable with total recall and automation in Ableton. It took a little time to adjust to the new interface, but the interface is perfectly great. I do appreciate the familiar browser with 2 windows.
I should note that audio is now coming through the line outputs, no longer USB, which is no problem for me but still worth mentioning.
Overall I would recommend this to anyone with a Virus who is having trouble with the standard TI plugin. A++++
