They're leveraging the Virus TI VST-interface to act as a platform  
for other apps, such as Atomizer .. "Total Integration" is Access'  
solution to the 'this once-cool hardware was made obsolete by the  
softsynth architecture' problem .. an 'embrace and extension' of the  
softsynth mechanics, tied to the hardware.

Its only a control panel for handling the patches library onboard and  
installing new firmware - it won't actually let you do tweaking of  
parameters and such, externally.  For that you'll still need the VSTi  
installed and working ..
