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 Osc Filter Env Model C
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.
Check DAW Config Guides tab below to learn more about DAW Automation.

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).

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.
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.
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.
Once you Gert through the Setup instructions, it works exactly as advertised and makes the Virus a joy to use (Much better than Access' antiquated editor; even if I could get it to work on an M1). Well Done! ~~~~ (good Vibrations)
Using it with my Ti2 through studio one 5, works nicely. i didn't even need to create a specific instrument, the soft is seen by Studio One as a standard vst (vst 3 in my case). just need to select proper midi in and out directly into the soft, Great !
Thankyou Im very happy I can use this until Access Releases an update. For now thisbridges the gap.
The Virus Editor is fantastic! I can finally use my TI Snow in Logic Pro X again thanks to this. Audio over USB works much like it did on Logic 9, which for me is perfect. How has it taken a third-party company to do what Virus themselves couldn't or wouldn't do? Thankful for Mystery Islands! <3
Most excellent! I’ve welcomed the Access Virus back to my synth arsenal thanks to Mystery Island Music’s editor. After switching from PC to MAC, this was the only thing I couldn’t get up and running. It took some fiddling, as I’m new to MACland, but bottom line: works as promised. YAY!!!!
With continuous support and development, Access Virus Editor & Librarian is the best investment for your Access Virus.

to set up and make it work is not that easy. After once I have succeeded saved the project template when I have started new project again it was not working.
On Mac I could not make it work with USB. Only on MIDI

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

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.

Your product is much better then the original plugin from access because it starts on Catalina but the timing issues are still terrible sometimes unusable I tried different OS’s (Mac & Win) I bought an extra MIDI Interface to use the Virus via Std. MIDI (not USB) in the hope that it will go better with it but it didn’t work stable it’s a shame for Access that the discontinued there software support and that this issues makes these really good sounding piece of hardware nearly useless in a hybrid studio environment.
I’m a bit unhappy with all solutions I have tried.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hey guys…I really appreciate your work…BUT…I’m having difficulties with saving presets.I use Windows 7 ableton 64x (suite 10) and presets don’t save as i’ve edited them or saved in my project…Anyway it’s easier to do automation…Still there are often some bugs and i need to reset or do some other magic stuff with VIRUS HC…like reloading it or uploading preset to another midi channel and sometimes it’s starts working or not out of a sudden. I’m greatful for your job and hmm i’d really like to give you 4 stars but honestly it’s 3 = )…Keep doing the good job….Btw i use VIrus Indigo and it’s no secret i’m still new to it.My progress is going well though…Connected it to electribe and really having fun with using VIRUS with some controllers especially wireless ones = ) should make a video soon. All The best, Technoid Mutant

This Plug is very good for understanding the Virus’s structure. The librarian function alone is worth the purchase.
But since Ableton Live 11 on Win10 installed there is an error that this Plug is not compatible with Ableton Live anymore. The error should be fixed. Still waiting for V2 anyway…
Kind of sad… Hope V2 will be published soon…

Difficult interface for patch management, but functional after a while. Randomise function too fiddly, should be able to randomise osc/filter/envs as a sub option, but can only randomise the whole patch or have to go through difficult locking/unlocking on parts of a patch. The matrix dropdown is unordered and doesn’t scroll with mouse wheel. Wish there was an online resource site for users to share patches created via the editor.

1) the biggest issue is: noting will saved at virus hc plugin. if i create a project in ableton and set all what i want and need, if i reopen the project i need to set all again. Its need a button wich load a saved preset with all needed settings (multimode mixer; load the 16 instrumentsettings…. all the basic stuff on the patch librian and multimode mixer folder). if it is need to load from hardware, it should work automaticly for that preset.
That is a realy big issue for me.
2) installation of midiports. it is realy a mess, i only use the midiports of my zoom UAC 8. Input is working, output not. so i was need to use the loop midi driver and midi OX with output of my master keyboard (novation SL, but it is routed over the output of my UAC-8, the output of uac-8 directly is also not working). But sometimes it is also crashing out of no where, and i need to reopen the daw and close and reopen midiport programs (and set all the stuff again at virus HC). It would be good if there would be a stable virtual midi solution was implemented and also the settings are saved (i need to set in- and output every time i reopen the project)
3) i would like a complete dump of my hardware (save all; load all). Sometimes i left projects for later (month later) and would like i can reopen the project and can set the virus 100% to the state as i left.
4) if i set the virus hc to “model: virus B” all impossible stuff (of other virus versions) should be hidden. sometimes all the unusable stuff are very confusing
now the good points:
a) it is easy to save something (during a sounddesign session you found randomly a good sound, not for an actual project, save it for future projects and save it through virus as well.
b) the menues of virus and find all the functions is a mess, the surface of virus hc helps to find easy and fast what you want.
c) the structures of menues buttons and so on are well choosen, it gives a good workflow and i never search long time for something
My Basic setup:
1) sounddesign, without DAW Sequencing – Keyboard plays virus direct, virus hc is only to set hidden stuff.
2) songwriting with DAW – made 1 midichannel with virus hc, 3 midichannel for the 3 output channel of virus (6 cable to my audio interface) and 3 audiotracks for record. The virus are set in to the Multi/Single mode, only the 3 first instruments are used (and will changed for another projects)
i dont use the virus in Multimode
I think, actual it is too expensive, to much problems with midi settings and to much time consuming to set it up for start of working. I would give aprox 15-20€ for actual functionality. if it would fixed as my wishes, 50€ are realy fair.
best regards

The software works very well as long as you follow the instructions TO THE letter!
Overall it’s very good software even in its (at time of writing) current beta phase so yes, I would suggest you buy it.
Now for the bad stuff…
I had a problem with it crashing, and it totally taking Logic Pro X down at the same time. However, through many hours of testing, I found the solution. If you had your own patch libraries, either ones you made yourself, or purchased 3rd party ones in a folder, then it would crash. Take the patches OUT of the folders and place them all in the main default patch folder, so there were no folders whatsoever within the main patch folder… THEN it wouldn’t crash!
Ok, so yeah, not great for patch library sorting, but at least it worked and worked well then, no crashing…
My real annoyance though is that I tried to do a “Live Chat” on this website to try and get some support for my original major crashing problem. But no-one was ever around, nor did anyone EVER get back to me, even though the Live Chat said that somebody would. I also created a support ticket, again, no response. Not a great first impression for a new customer and still no response at time of writing, three weeks later!
In conclusion… the software, once I’d figured out myself why it was crashing constantly now works very well, but be prepared if you have any issues whatsoever to potentially face a struggle to fix the problem you have.
I discovered that the support forums were removed from this web site a few months ago… a suggestion to Jani here… maybe think about opening them up again? That way, new customers like myself might be able to read some solutions to their problems, or asked the community if they knew, instead of weeks of silence!!
But anyway…. buy it! 🙂

Works pretty well when set up correctly but recalling patches from saved project files within Logic Pro X and Cubase 10.5 is still problematic. It also crashes sometimes so make sure you have autosave on. Buying it now will give you V2.0 for free though, so it’s still a pretty good deal.

Virus librarian keeps crashing when turning knobs on the Virus itself. The plugin crash kills also my Logic session :/. Anything I can provide so you can investigate the cause?

Librarian is a mess. Patch browser Edit Menu is unintuitive and inconvenient. The absence of a manual makes work with librarian risky for unsaved patches (lost my patch a few times trying to save it somehow from librarian temp multi). Request temp from hardware doesn’t seem to work for me. And the plugin has obvious bugs. But from my point of view it’s still better than other plugins I’ve tried

If I didnt have to use MIDI OX to run it It’d make things a little nicer. I do like the fact I can access the banks quickly. However I’m yet to understand how to rout the channels to separately into the daw- I’ve yet to in depth look at it but have not had success yet.

Nice plugin but a lot of things to do
Nice plugin but a lot of things to do 1. ‘please wait … ‘ screen is a bit annoying. It takes too long. I mean all data are already transferred/received, virus is playing with new sound(s) but screen is displaying message. 2. Crashing Logic when operating with ‘Multi files’ 3. After requesting (single or multi) browser returns to recently loaded file, loosing just received, when not saving it. 4. Each time loading plugin i must select midi port and model of Virus. VERY ANNOYING! Moreover i cannot select model of virus from main window. Only ‘Multimode mixer > Multi settings’ works 5. Why there is no patch ( and multi) copy /paste feature ????? It would be so useful for creating custom bank. Now first i have to write patch/ patches into Virus, next receive patch (or bank) into plugin next save it… E.g. I’m working on sound design for movie ‘X’. It would be so nice having ‘Movie ‘X’ sounds’ without writing the bank into virus. 6. Why there is no ‘import files’ feature. I know it is possible to drop .mid or .syx files into app folder, but it SHOULD be possible within the plugin to import banks as midi sysex files. 7. Plugin GUI size should be scalable ( or just bigger). patch/ bank/ multi names are so tiny. 8. When .aax will be available? 9. Overall workflow is a bit messy. I tried to work with plugin as an multichannel software instrument. But it caused freezing Logic. Now the only solution is: Load plugin just for volume, pan and controlling parameters etc. AND create standard external MIDI tracks for recording midi from Virus (notes, controllers etc..) and playing it back to the Virus. 10. It would be nice if the plugin has midi/ syx loop/ feedback protection.

Access Virus Hc Editor
It’s a really nice plugin, probably the best in it’s section. But in my opinion it’s missing a major functionality if you are using it with the virus c. You are not able to turn your hardwareknobs without making the vst crash.
