AURA Plugins Reviews

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.

Keeping my Virus alive. It's brilliant

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++++

Wortes perfekt

I use two Virus TI , one with virus Control and One with Hc Editor. It's not working for now in Ableton. Still trying.

All is working properly, when the Midi connection is established correctly. The names in automation parameter menu should be filled with more specific parameter names.

Works perfect1

Good solution

Very good but could be improved, when you select keyboard it defaults back to Rack, minor issue, but a big improvement would be the ability to use it as a stand alone, I do use it through Fruity Loops with Midiox, a real pain to set up..
