Appendix
VB: VIRUS C SERIES PARAMETER
These parameters are only available on VIRUS
C and VIRUS kc/indigo in Version 3.0 and high-
er. VIRUS C parameter changes are ignored by
VIRUS a/Virus b series
í
On non-part-sensitive parameters the part
number is ignored, but must still be sent as any
value.
í
The VIRUS can be switched between Multi
Mode and Single Mode by parameter C123 Part
Number.
í
Remarks for editor/librarian programs Not all
256 bytes of a Single or Multi Dump are defined
as a parameter. Some of them are defined for
internal use or reserved for future applications.
In a bulk dump these byte should not be
changed, they should be sent to the VIRUS on
the same value as they were received in the
dump.
í
One of the internal parameter (Page A #0) is
the Sound Version Number. On future VIRUS
system updates new parameters will be de-
fined. When the VIRUS receives an older sound,
the new parameters will be set to default values
in the edit buffer and the version number will be
updated automatically. The VIRUS update algo-
rithm can be used from outside just by sending
a dump and requesting it back. To prevent in-
compatibilites and confusion, the Sound Ver-
sion Number should not be changed by any
other device that the VIRUS itself. When sounds
are imported into a software library, they should
be automatically pathed through the VIRUS
first, before allowing a change of parameters.
Otherwise the VIRUS might reset new parame-
ters, when the sound is loaded into the VIRUS,
after editing parameters.
