MULTI SINGLE MODE
In MULTI mode, the EDIT and CONFIG menus are responsible for administering the 16 PARTs.
Consequently, you can't access SINGLE program parameters directly here. Beyond that, you're
unable to change the SINGLE programs directly, which would admittedly 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 rather 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 example, 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 simultaneously, the parameter is reset to its original
value. You can increase the rate at which parameter 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.
