As I'm a Virus C user, I think they have done a great concept. The Virus TI acts as a sound card, a standalone synth and a VST plugin at the same time. This means, it can record and output audio and midi from/to external equipment from my sequencer software, and the sound engine *and* its effects can be used as an external effects rack for audio tracks in your sequencer. BUT: There's a special library which does enable all of this, and this library is only available for Mac and Win. I have contact to one of the Access guys, so if someone wants to write such a library for Linux, I'd politely ask if the API specs are top secret or if Access would give the specs out to the world. But even if we had the specs, I guess on linux it would only make sense to use the audio and MIDI jacks. But who knows what the next years(s) will bring to us ;-) ? Best regards ce
