SOUND CATEGORIES

The Virus gives you the option of classing
the stored SINGLE sounds in categories.
With the benefit of these categories,
you'll be able to find a desired sound
much faster.
You have the following categories at
your disposal:
Off, Lead, Bass, Pad, Decay, Plug, Acid,
Classic, Arpeggiator, Effects, Drums, Per-
cussion, Input, Vocoder, Favourite 1,
Favourite 2, Favourite 3
Every SINGLE sound can be assigned to
up to two categories by means of the
parameters CATEGORY 1 and CATEGORY
2. For example, you could assign the
attributes "Bass" and "Acid" or "Lead"
and "Favorite 1" to a given sound. These
categories may be changed at any time
and can be stored along with the sound.
The factory sounds are assigned default
categories.
Once you've assigned categories, you can
search for the sounds within a specific
category in SINGLE mode and MULTI-SIN-
GLE mode:
Press and hold the SINGLE button, then
use the PARAMETER buttons to select
the category in which you want to search
for sounds. Hold the SINGLE button
down and use the VALUE buttons to
select sounds that are assigned to the
currently selected category. It doesn't
matter if this sound has been assigned to
the category via CATEGORY 1 or CATE-
GORY 2; in either case, it will show up in
the list. While you're selecting sounds,
SINGLEs that don't belong to the cur-
rently selected category are simply
skipped over when you hold the SINGLE
button down.
