to or are compelled to change sounds, you
should record the entire memory content to the
sequencer. Sending individual MULTIs for the
purpose of archiving sounds is pointless be-
cause they don't contain the actual sounds.
Sending individual sounds, in turn, is only a via-
ble proposition if you are operating the Virus in
SINGLE mode and have opted not to use pro-
gram change messages in the song.
í
Proceed with extreme caution when you're
working with SysEx data! If you send anything
other than individual SINGLE sounds or individ-
ual MULTIs from the sequencer to the Virus, the
CORRESPONDING DATA IN THE VIRUS WILL
BE IRREVOCABLY OVERWRITTEN! So before
you dump, for example, a bank to the Virus, you
should make a backup of the user banks stored
in the Virus (the RAM banks) by dumping them
to the sequencer, provided of course that you
care to preserve the sounds that they contain.
Incidentally, it can't hurt to regularly dump all
data stored in the Virus for backup purposes.
You'll find a summary of all dump options and
an explanation of these in the comprehensive
overview of parameters, specifically, under the
global parameters.
