bloX licenced doesn'nt works,i send you a ticket...

good

Occasional dropouts and freezes. Bearable, but not desirable. Using a Virus B.

Now my Virus is usable. Thank you.

The software doesn't connect. I've reached out multiple times for help / advice and haven't heard back. Can you please advise?

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 does not really work better than the original virus ti software with OS Catalina

Does not support single mode. Also rather glitchy and fiddly. For this price an editor should be smooth, quick and straightforward.

Software can't be activated using the 'licence.key' still indicate 'Reload License' in the bloX Editor and no more reply from the company... very disappointed

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! 🙂
