Virus B- one patch affecting another channel's.. (solved)
 

I'm having a problem using my Virus B in multi mode with Sonar 4. I've got Vitar (Bank D #68) on channel 2 and Chrunchy (Bank E #8) on channel 3. When channel 3 isn't muted, it changes the Vitar's sound (loud and nasty) and delay doesn't work for any of the parts.

When I mute channel 3, everything is fine. I tried putting the Chrunchy in a different track on a different channel and the same thing happens. If I change the patch on channel 3, there's no problem. If I have the Chrunchy sound in any channel it causes the problem - even when there are no notes or parameter changes in the track.

It was fine last night and I haven't changed anything... what's going on here?

im guessing your using the same output,think of it as runing out of headroom im gussing your virus output starts to clip maybe.

Sounds a bit like you might be running out of polyphony. Count how many Unison (ie single, twin, 3, ... etc) multiply that by the amount of notes played at once in a single moment and include the both parts you mention.
You only have 24 voice polyphony on the virus b.

I don't think it's a problem with clipping or polyphony... If I just have the Chrunchy patch set to any part (with no notes, parameters, or anything in the track) it causes the problem. It's only the Chrunchy patch too - if I use any other patch the problem goes away.

Didn't notice the mistake in my first post - it should say...
channel 2 - Vitar, Bank D, #68
channel 3 - Chrunchy, bank E, #8

i think its got to do with your effects routing.. just say you add fx to chan 3 and thats outputting from output 3 then the wet version comes out output 1 or 2 and the dry version is still on 3

This was it. I changed channel 3's assign 3 destination 3 from reverb something to panvel. Thanks!

good advice pete :wink:
