HELP with using virus as an external effects machine

[keller33]

Basicly I want to use the LFO's on the Virus TI keyboard to edit my samples,
I use Cubase4, and I use an Alesis MultiMax8 USB mixer to join my keyboard to my speakers and PC.
I want to use my virus ti's LFO Filters and such on my Samples and I cant seem to get it to work.

My alesis is connected to the PC via USB, the MAIN MIX OUT is plugged into the Virus ti's IN'S via jack lead and the virus ti's OUT'S go into the LINE IN 7 AND 8 all on the alesis -All Via Jack Leads.

Am I doing anything wrong here?

:confused: :!:

Load one of the *Input* patches that are in the roms,

Or just enable the inputs (on hardware) by selecting edit and parameter until you find the inputs and atomizer page and select "input mode static input".

It's also easy to see in VC.

Good luck. o/

You're not actually going to load any sounds into the virus - you can't do that anyway - you need to call up a preset which has been prepared in order to 'edit', as you put it, or process a sound.

You need to play the sound into the inputs on the virus (from keyboard or from cubase via your mixer), add effects/atomise/filter etc, then feed it from the virus outputs, back into the mixer.

You cannot change a samples as you would. Since they cannot "load" into the virus, you cannot effect it's frequency/pitch/FM/RM... You can however use the inputs and route the sound through the filters which can be modulated by whatever the heck you want. Then apply some effects for a more interesting result.
