where is expert mode?

[nordlead]

I was reading the manual of the VC (pag 122). It mentions the expert mode, but I cant find it in my virus. I press the 'system / multi edit' but its not there.

Where is it?

thanks

another question: when I put 'Data' as mod source, where is this data coming from? is it random?

I think data is when you modulate from external devices, not sure.

expert mode exist only on virus Bs.

the manual sucks.

thanks a lot Tomer and tranzash

?does anyone know what the data is?

also, ?can I access to the 3rd oscillator and select wave, pw, semitone and detune?

the manual sucks.
I found it quite detailed and comprehensive......

[wildbill]

i should be a bit more specific.
when i got my C, the manual had never been updated from the B.
if you try to follow the manual sitting with the keyboard, the menu orders don't follow the manual, so you are constantly searching for what should come next, but not's there.
some functions it says are there, are just plain missing.
lots of details about the third lfo mod options and all of the leds is missing.
there are many nicely detailed references without specifics about where to find them - not nice.
the manual will occasionally break out into german, when you're trying to read in english.
some areas are covered pretty thoroughly while others are neglected.
overall, i found it easier to just use the synth and try to memorize the menus than i did to try and use the manual.
i understand that it was updated after i got it, so hopefully it is easier to use now.

lol wildbill, I think I have the same manual. I'll dl a new one.

hmmm i don't think so, for eg, in the manual i have they don't explain well how to use the third osc and how to select its waveform! check it and you will see unless they updated it.

[nordlead]

hatembr is right. And I dled a new manual and its the same. I also dled the addendums but no luck.

?Can someone tell me how to use the 3rd oscillator? ?and what is the 'data' on source mode? No need for long answers.

Thanks in advance

This might be way off (I only have a Virus B) but use the Edit... button in the Osc sections and go left/right in the menu until you see the Osc3 settings? The B doesn't have PW on Osc3 and only Tri/Squ for waveforms but hey.

'Data' is another name for MIDI CC 06 - some older synths (Kurzweil K2000 for instance) used to have a slider labelled 'Data' that transmitted that particular CC.

To use the 3rd Osc in the VC:

Switch Osc3 ON with the panel button

Press OSC3 SELECT.

Adjust WAVE SEL/PW to a value other than Off.

To adjust the Volume quickly, hold down (Osc) EDIT and turn the SUB OSC knob.

thanks alot! I though the 3rd osc had to be the same as the 2nd.

[noziroc]

can people focus on the topic ?

I wonder what data is ? any one ?

[noziroc]

thanks
