Yes you will need a midi interface.
Just did a quick google for 2nd hand prices I would consider an access snow or ti. Less headache for the price difference.

You could try the free version first, to see if it suits you.

Yeah, I guess it makes more sense. Although you would give up all the knobs on the synth then. Virus TI is MUCH more capable than the Virus C though.

I was thinking about this and I could get a native instruments kontrol 49mk3 I think it has midi ports on the back of the keyboard

Do that and look at Viper by Adam Szambo thibk I spelt that right.
Imports and works well with most presets. Have Viper and a Ti use both.
So in short Viper and a midi controller will deliver very similar results if not identitical when in the mix.

Of course hardware lust is a battle

Re: Virus C vs TI, are you on a Mac or Windows? The reason I’m asking is because it could affect how much of an advantage the TI is over the C (ftr, I’ve owned at least a dozen Virus models, including a few versions of the C and several models of the TI/TI2, currently own a Polar TI2).
