Hi RV.

I don't understand your question. What do you mean by 'split'?

[rvawesome]

sorry for my english but i m french

i want to use differents sounds separately on the keyboard
for exemple : bass sound on the first octave, lead sound on the second octave... etc

i'm pretty sure it's not, you're gonna need a sampler for that kind of thing. I use NI's Kontakt, it's pretty good.

For exemple i can do it with my Korg X3
it s possible to assign one program (ex piano) on a part of my keyboard and an another prog (ex: rhodes) on a another part

It's not possible on the Virus itself, but you can set it up pretty easily with your host app running a multi and setting each channel to a specific key range. Save that and it's done!

It's quite easy to do in Logic, for example.

if you don't want to make any further adjustments to the sounds, or modulation, then sampling - like Berni said - is the way to go for sure!

Sorry to hijack the thread but did you get my email I sent a few days ago Jose?

[TweakHead]

I did! I'm on it! I think I've answered you already, check your mail box...

Hey synth-heads! Have been working on compositions and learning a lot in Reaper as I go and reason been away for a bit and to remain OT, this ability (or, obviously not) to have a split as OP asked was racking my brain as well. I too was thinking outside of a multi set-up, and thanks for the useful posting about doing it within the DAW.
As advanced as the Virus KC is and it's variously cool midi modes I am frankly surprised this is not possible when just about any and every synth in my arsenal can do that, even a recent trash find from 1985, a Korg DW8000 analog/digital hybrid with an analog filter to DIE for and also has built-in digital delay....yep, it was in dumpster WITH power cord....so I HAD to plug her in with trepidation and work perfectly....anyway, 1985 and able to split sounds on defined parts of split board...8 poly but do not need much for bass.
Is this physical inability to make a split throughout whole Virus line? Funny, I was coming back to visit here to search for this after re-reading user manual several times almost going MAD thinking I *must have* missed it somewhere!!:rolleyes:
Well, I need to tackle learning to do multi set-ups in DAW/Reaper with Virus anyway because it seems that it would be much easier through DAW rather than all on physical keyboard. Any tips you have learned along way with this would be much appreciated.
Am finding it hard to allow time or sleep, this is SO fracking fun!:D

[TweakHead]

Yep, search for setting up external multi-instruments on your DAW. Then there must be an option for say: if you want to be able to change patches from the software, change volume and KEY RANGE! Takes a bit of tedious work, but once it's done one can save as a template project and call it back whenever it's needed.

Glad to know your doing compositions now! Keep it up!

Music (self) Therapy in a manner was my hypothesis to help with military PTSD and endorphins are good for the brain. Not trying to rush anything as have to make balance for other health stuff.
Have you ever found yourself wishing our non-Ti Virus Synths had like two extra envelopes or two more LFO's? Love the KC but certainly have more modulation madness freedom with DSI MEK , however the two compliment each other quite well.
Thanks for template set-up tip!

yep, the extra envelopes would come handy! I was surprised the TI owners that were blessed with this update weren't happy. how many times does a synthesizer grow on modulation sources with updates? and how many of those are hardware?

let's hope access will be clever about their next products regarding connections and bandwidth and, most of all: Oscillators and LFO's with user drawable waves in the likes of U-he's Zebra and NI's Massive, multi-stage envelopes within the same lines, LFO's going into audio rate, some proper feedback circuit emulation, separate volume control for all oscillators, plus panning and whatever they can stick in there is welcome! The rest of it is fine as it is!

DSI MEK is another kind of beast all together! very unique in its splitting of the signal, almost fooling people into thinking it's a poly. Coupled with the Virus makes for a huge mutant capable of plenty of different textures...

How lucky were you with the trash keyboard? Damn...
