ok. I can now pach in (well, through) I was using stereo plugs not mono... My manual doesn't say how to reset it. any ideas?? at least i can get some sounds out of it (even if they're the same sounds from my sampler)

Multi mode is when you press the "multi" button. Allows you to use more channels at once (when using sequensers) or more patches on one channel (for unison sounds and keyboard splits)...

By normal patch i mean a patch that is meant for playing with a keyboard and not for manipulating sounds sendt into it by the input...

Since i have a Virus C i can´t 100% tell you how a Virus A works but they are pretty semilar. I have never done a factory reset so i don´t know how to do this...

If you are able to run audio through it you should also be able to manipulate the sound as well.

If still nothing works i´m out of ideas. Maybe time to contact access...

yeah I sent them an email.... but haven't got a reply yet.
I can sort of manipulate the sound with the filters, but not much. I'm getting a new midi cable and I hope that will enable me to manipulate sounds massively. thank you for you help. if a new midi cable doesn't help, I might just sell it and buy a x0xb0x.
