HELP: Virus KC and Sonar 5
 

Greetings!

I have a quick question that I'm sure has been beat to death, but I have to ask. I am pretty new to the home studio and I have finally got mine up and running.

Sonar 5
Access Virus KC v.6.5
MOTU 828 MKII
Novation Drumstation
T.C. Electronics FireworkX

My question is this: How do I use the Virus with a sequencer? I would like to play different parts (sounds) on different channels, and I haven't been successful yet. The manual talks about using the M0 "sequencer". I can get that far but I can't change the sounds. Do I have to always use M0 or
can I define my own midi channels (which I'm sure I can)? At this point, this is the only thing holding me back from putting a song together.

Thanks so much for your help! This is a great site!

hi

I don't use Sonar but FL but I guess the procedure is the same.

You select that MO sequence multi preset. Now you open different midi channels and they must be directed through midi channel 1, midi channel 2, 3 etc. then each midi channel will make use of a different sound of the virus.

hope it helps
