Problem VIRUS C
 

Hello guys!!

I need your help!! I just got a Virus C, I have connected it and I've tried to start to work on it but I have a big problem..

The synth sounds perfectly but when i try to modify any parameter the sound doesnt change. I have checked the manual and I've found info about knob mode.. but the problem is still here.

Any recommendation?

Thanks in advance

Hi, Do you mean modifying parameters hands-on via the knobs, or via external MIDI?

Hi Timo,

I mean modifying via the knobs.

I suspect the former user may have, for some unbeknown reason, selected external MIDI only, effectively de-activating the front panel.

If so, it's easily fixed.

Press the "CTRL" button, then go through the menus (using the "Parameter" arrow keys) until you see:

1 MIDI
Panel = MIDI

Then use the Value arrow keys to make Panel = Int+MIDI

'Int' stands for internal (meaning local control), so setting it 'Int+MIDI' means you can use both the onboard knobs and external MIDI to change parameters.

Hope this works.

however, if you have the Virus C desktop (like I do), there's no CTRL button, in which case you'd have to search for similar function on the "main edit" menu and you'd be ok.

enjoy your Virus ;)

Hey guys!! thanks :)

That was the problem...as TweakHead said, I did it with the system button. Now it's time to learn how to use this beast

Thanks again ;)

Ah, appears they changed the button names slightly from Virus B to C.

Anyway, glad it worked. :) I could see how the lack of knob control could've been very alarming and frustrating.

Have fun. The Virus C is a very capable beast. Any problems or Q's, give us a shout.
