Cable Connections

Before you connect the Virus to an AC
outlet and the rest of your equipment,
ensure that all of the devices are
switched OFF. If your Virus does not have
a build-in keyboard, then connect the
MIDI OUT of the desired MIDI send
device (keyboard, computer, hardware
sequencer, etc.) with the MIDI IN of the
Virus.
Connect the audio outputs of the Virus
with the signal inputs of your audio sys-
tem. In order to receive a signal, as a
minimum you must connect the output
OUT 1 R/MONO. However, we recom-
mend you also connect the output OUT 1
L so you are able to enjoy the stereo
sounds of the Virus.
Once you have established the desired
cable connections, make sure the main
volume controls of all the connected
devices are dialed to the lowest possible
setting. Switch the devices on in the fol-
lowing sequence: the MIDI send device
(computer, master keyboard, etc.) first,
then the sound generators (Virus and
the other signal sources), followed by
the mixing console and finally the ampli-
fier.

Power Up the Virus

Power up the Virus Rack by pressing the
POWER button. To shut the device down,
press and hold this button for approx.
two seconds.
Now while you are sending notes on
MIDI Channel 1 of the Virus, turn the
master volumes of the connected devices
up in the same order that you switched
the devices on. Be sure to keep on eye
on the signal level indicators of your mix-
ing console.
