It was pretty easy to set up since I followed the instructions, and it's easy to use. I’ve had my Access Virus A for twenty years but got stuck with editing on that tiny display. Now I almost have a "new" synth to work with. Huge thanks for your great product.

The Virus HE is an amazing tempt at, not just providing an alternative, but it actually improves on the original. Being able to send continuous Midi Clock information is a god send for keeping the Virus IT's arpeggios in time. I would have to spend ages just editing what I had recorded to get it back into sync. Plus, having full support for all of my presets I have accumulated over the years is a relief. Bloody well done old chaps.

Took me a little bit of time to set it up, but once it was done with the help of youtube tutorials and user manual, using it was a breeze. Thanks Aura Team 🙂 This tutorial in particular was helpful for Ableton setup : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF4qOYuwH5c This user manual was helpful for Logic setup : https://docs.auraplugins.com/kb/article/user-guide-for-apple-logic/

Hi , I have been stuck in Mojave system for a while because of my Access Virus Synth, as Access company seems to be no longer operational, we are stuck in Mojave if we want to use the access virus integrated in our DAW system, when I discovered the AURA software (Access Virus editor and plugin) it changed my vision to be able to upgrade to other system. This was my first idea, but when I started to use it I realized that it works much smoother than the original synth software, incredible, this is much more than I expected. Today I can say that I have been able to upgrade to Sequoia with Apple silicon processor and the virus works great , thanks for making my work easier and more comfortable !!!!

This plug-in is really very, really good, whether it's through simple to understand ergonomics, and functionalities. I find the interface even more successful than the Waldorf pulse version and even more intuitive. As a result, it is even easier to use in managing patches between different Banks as well. The editing of sounds is complete and simple to understand... A really indispensable module for who has this synthesizer In addition, even if the synthesizer is not connected, it does not prevent it from being able to see and modify the bookshops, which is practical...

VIRUS C is one of the few synths where I enjoy the deep menu-diving and paired with this editor all programming is rapid, a breeze to arrange complex multis and manage presets, plus DAW plugin is brilliant for precise automations. A full-fledged assistant essential to every VIRUS owner.

I rarely do reviews, but I wanted to help anyone who is thinking of buying this product and has a configuration similar to mine. I use Ableton Live 12 on Windows 10 and have a Virus B. Even after reading the manual, the reviews and the AURA tutorials page on youtube, I still couldn't figure out how to simultaneously control the Virus B with VST3 in Ableton and sequence out the various parts avaiable in MULTI-SINGLE mode. I didn't even know if it was possible! Well, I'm not a software engineer, nor do I know these products in depth, but the following setup worked for me and I wanted to share it. The problem seems to be that Windows doesn't allow two different software applications to open/control the same midi port from a physical midi interface, at the same time. The manual recommends using the physical midi ports in the plugin and disabling them in the Ableton options to avoid conflicts. In the tutorials, it is suggested to use the MIDIOX + LoopMIDI/LoopBe1 combo to route the physical midi ports to "one" virtual midi port that you would use to sequence midi out from other midi tracks in Ableton. However, on Windows, you either open the physical midi ports in MIDIOX or in the Plugin... Fortunately, after much trial and error, I managed to do it and I can say that it is possible! I was successful first using the Bome MIDI Translator Pro software, and then also with the MIDIOX + LoopMIDI/LoopBe1 combo. The secret is to create not "one" but "two" virtual bidirectional midi ports. One of them you will use in the plugin and the other to send midi out signals. Create them, with midi inputs and outputs, using LoopMIDI and/or Loopbe1, and then route them both to the same physical midi port, using MIDIOX. It was also necessary to activate the "Toggle Passing SysEX" button in the MIDIOX top menu (or bottom right). Bome MIDI Translator Pro allows you to create the two virtual ports and establish the midi merge (2 virtual -> same physical) within the same software, but it is a paid application. Once you have created this configuration, go to Ableton and place Virus HE Editor VST3 on a midi track. On this track, disable the midi inputs and unarm the track. In Ableton's midi options, disable the physical midi ports where your Virus B is connected and also the first of the virtual midi ports created (this one you will use for the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT inputs of the VIRUS HE Editor). But enable the second virtual midi port created (this one you will use to send midi sequences out and automation out to Virus B). Then create as many additional midi tracks as necessary, each with its own chosen midi channel and the second virtual midi port selected in the "MIDI To" track section. Apparently this product was originally developed to meet the demands of Mac users whose Virus TI control program stopped working, since Apple does not focus on reverse compatibility for software and Access has stopped updating its software. I am grateful that the developer has created a version for PC users as well. However, having to use other software in the Windows environment to fully access the multitimbrality of Virus B indicates that there is still room for improvement. In the meantime, it would be interesting to publish an updated tutorial for Windows users, as a PDF or in the company's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@AURAPlugins) - the newest tutorials I found there are from 6 years ago ... In any case, for the developer team: Fantastic Work! Keep it up! I bet there are still thousands of virus owners around the world and they would all love to have an editor like this one you are working on!

Access Virus Editor - for me it's an opportunity to understand the synthesizer and create new sounds. Thank you very much!

I can only have good things to say about the editor. Even though it is expensive, it is worth the money. I use it on Win11 Pro and Mac OS Sequoia. It works very stable and I simply enjoy editing the Virus , mostly in standalone. I also liked the UI/UX. It's straightforward and, in my opinion, you don't need a manual to learn how to use the app. The personal contact with the owner and software developer was also first class. In this respect, the purchase was worthwhile for me (Virus TI Desktop, Virus TI 2 KB). Great software.

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.
