Tips and Tricks

MULTI SINGLE MODE
In MULTI mode, you're unable to change the
SINGLE programs directly, which would admit-
tedly be a handy option when you're working
with a sequencer. This is why the Virus features
MULTI SINGLE mode, which, strictly speaking,
is more an alternative view of MULTI mode rath-
er than a further mode in its own right. Activate
MULTI SINGLE mode by pressing the MULTI
and SINGLE buttons simultaneously.
Please bear in mind that MULTI SINGLE mode
is really just another view of the normal MULTI
mode and that it always works with the MULTI
program that is currently selected in normal
MULTI mode.
When you're working with a sequencer, start
with a MULTI program that features neutral set-
tings for its "administrative" parameters, for ex-
ample, the MULTI program M0 Sequencer. Here
the PART numbers are identical to the MIDI
channels of the PARTs. Now when you work in
MULTI SINGLE mode, the Virus responds as if it
were in SINGLE mode, except that you have 16
sounds available simultaneously on 16 MIDI
channels. Use the PART buttons to select these
sounds.
VALUE BUTTONS
When you press the two VALUE buttons simul-
taneously, the parameter is reset to its original
value. You can increase the rate at which pa-
rameter values change by pressing and holding
one VALUE button and simultaneously pressing
the other VALUE button. If you release the first
VALUE button while holding the other down, the
parameter is set to its maximum or minimum
value.
