N00b... and n00b question (Access KC OS 6.5)

[Andries]

Hi all

New to the Forum, and sorta new to Virus.

I have an Access KC, have owned it since 2006, but am at last starting to get into programming it.

Have the manual, and am working through it, but there are some really basic things I don't get. I suppose I find the manual very logical and exhaustive, but there are just basic things they seem to assume you know.

Like: how do you get out of system edit mode? I can get into system edit mode (System / Multi edit button) e.g. to switch Local Off... but how do I get out again? I just can't figure out how, and I can't find anywhere in the user manual that tells me!

Hi Andries, I'm away from my Virus right now, but I think I just press the Edit or Single button again to take me back out of edit mode.

thanks - edit doesn't do it, but single does!

I just can't figure out how, and I can't find anywhere in the user manual that tells me!

For the Virus C there are actual two manuals: one of them is the "programming analogue synths" - by Howard Scarr. On this manual, there's a chapter called "possible sources of confusion" where you can find this:

When am in a menu, and how do I get out again?
You are always in some kind of menu. A menu could be defined as any view in the display which can be exited by selecting another menu. According to this circular definition we have the following:

- Arpeggiator EDIT - Effects EDIT (with Distortion, Phaser or Chorus) - Delay/Reverb EDIT - Lfos/Mod EDIT - Lfos/Mod SELECT (the lower button) - Lfos/Mod SHAPE “WAVE” - General EDIT - SYSTEM - MULTI EDIT (via the same button as SYSTEM) - STORE (exited only via STORE, SINGLE, MULTI or UNDO/Compare) - Compare (sub-menu of STORE entered by pressing UNDO) - Oscillators EDIT - MULTI - SINGLE - MULTISINGLE - Filters EDIT (with filter 1, 2 or both)
The way to exit any other menus is to press SINGLE (or MULTI if you are cur- rently working in multi mode).

(from the book)

If you haven't yet, I highly recommend reading the whole thing. Lots of useful information there. Cheers

Hmm I do NOT have that manual. It looks essential. I will check it out.
