I was looking and it sounds like if I update to Catalina then I won't be able to use the Virus Ti ever again with the USB passthrough mode? Can any of the synth experts on here confirm that? I also had a h**l of a time getting even the USB midi to work on the Virus. I have had it working by way of the USB Ti thing and I have made some sounds I really liked and it's cool to use with it's random function. Just wondering if this thing is going to be at all usable or if it's just a paper weight now?

Re: virus ti
If Access support says that Virus Control is not compatible with Catalina, then that's that. Virus Control came out 15 years ago, an eternity in the synth world. I used it when I owned a Snow, in fact I never used the actual audio outputs, always using the plugin.
Going forward a MIDI interface and audio interface will let you use your Virus with a DAW, just not as a plugin any more.

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Re: virus ti
Using the Virus in TI-mode always was a real pain for me. For years there were huge sync issues and audio drop outs. Now it works (Mojave) but the latency is too big.
I prefer using the TI over MIDI and Audio I/O. Then the instrument is an absolute joy to use.
