STORE - button

[Autonomous Modul]

I want to know if I can to save my own maked programs to a free
databank without to overwrite my existing soundbanks ?
And what meen the MULTI, SINGLE and MULTISINGLE buttons ?

[jasedee]

Banks A & B are RAM banks (as described in the manual!)....meaning that this is where you will 'store' any programs that you create, BUT will overwrite whatever sound in the location you decide to save your own sound.

You could however, go through the sounds in banks A & B and make a note of the sounds which you are not so fond of, and which you wont mind deleting. Banks A & B can always be backed up as a .MID file in your sequencer, as a safety precaution, or you can simply download the factory patches from the ever so great Access website.

In fact, take a little time to read the manual, as it contains all the information that you need to know, especially questions like the ones you are asking. But if you get really stuck, we are always willing to help.

If you dont have the Virus manual, you could either order another one from Access, or download a copy of the manual in PDF format.

Good luck....and welcome to the forum! :)

When I go to save, I first enter the new name, and before you press STORE to save the sound, you can instead hit the CTRL button and it then allows you to scroll through all the programs in banks A and B and audition the actual patches you're going to overwrite before you go to save over them. When you've found a patch you dislike, you then press the STORE button twice and it overwrites it with the newly programmed patch. Very handy.

It's the one inbetween "Effects" and "Edit". ;) Under the LCD.

Ah, good point. :)

Can't you audition/compare patch slots prior to saving out patches on the C, then?

Of course - on the C series, you press UNDO.

Good advice: Read the manual! ;)

The question you've asked are basic knowledge if you intend to work with the Virus.

Anyway:
SINGLE is where you create patches if you only use the Virus as a SINGLE-patch instrument.

MULTI: You can see this as a bank of instruments, but you can also use this mode to layer sounds(which I guess is it's primary function).

SINGLE-MULTI: Is what you must use if you want to play different patches on different midi-channels.

Notice that in both Multi an single-multi mode, you can only have ONE delay/reverb effect for the whole collection (that somehow could make sense in multi-mode, but absolutely not in single-multi mode!) :)

Now, go read the manual...it's REALLY worth it!

Hehe, you fool... :D

I heard the new model in the Virus series (The Plague Appatchi) will have some new buttons putting wanted functions at the press of some unique buttons.

Destroy button - Turns Distortion and Saturation up full, plus uses a new waveform called "dust in the fader".

Chaos button - Just the random button, but with param depth/amount at maximum.

Trance song button - Hold on, that's already there but it's called "Using different Appegiators in Multi-mode". Now it's all automatic though.

Oops fucked up button - was called the "Undo" button.

Specs are subject to change at no notice.
