How loading an empty patch ?
 

Hi every infekted guys,

Have to know if its possible to load à complet empty patch (for free dsp)
No osc at all
no effect
If i load a blank sound from bank it is not loading ?
I have a snow and when i load 4 big sounds, have à lot of crackel and sync panic, i think i can play with only 3 patches, so i need to shutdown the fourth.

Thanks and c u SOON

Then just delete the patch...you can't load a blank sound the init patch is the bare minimum.

Delete patch ?
 

Thanks for your Answer, i didn t know the edit patch is the minimum.
Indeed How you delete patch ?
Or loading the edit patch ?

You can load and save but if i delete the name of patch, sound stay.
Right click give me revert to precious sound !
Del on my keyboard, do nothing !
Do i missed someting else ?

Click the mute part button? What am I missing here?

I am agree, but the sound is still hidden Behind and take dsp...
The idea was to free maximum dsp, with minimum, i know now the edit patch without any treatment is the best.
But my question is How back to édit patch after loading and trying lots of them ?

I don't think it works like you're imagining it does, because if it did, it would mean that the 16-part TI2, which has twice the DSP of the Snow but four times as many multi-timbral parts available, would only be capable of achieving roughly the same total overall throughput as the Snow (or perhaps less), because it would mean that even when muted, Virus control was always grinding out the overhead of 16 parts running INIT (meaning for any given multi timbral setup, an additional 12 parts would be wasting DSP needlessly). I think if you play around with both the Snow and TI2 desktop in practice you'll find this is not the case. Might want to confirm with Access, just for peace of mind.

Besides, even if muting a part did not have the intended effect, the overhead of an INIT patch isn't going to impact your DSP as much as one might think. It's not raw oscillators that gobble CPU, it's the processing involved in unisoning them, and more importantly adding envelope variations (particularly release time), and then FX to them (monster impact).

I'm fairly sure muting it removes the DSP impact at all though. It would be silly for it to work any other way (experiment with the CPU impact of a soft synth under same conditions, and I think you may agree with the theory).

In the original post, you mentioned crackles and sync problems, what version of the Virus software are you running? Mac or PC? The latest 5.1.1.3/5.1.1.0 Beta version did fix a few glitches I was experiencing with my Snow. But many people stI'll have issues, as the Virus USB implementation is really old and causes issues with newer computers.

Cheers,
