Hello all,

I have been trying to setup a multi mode patch for a couple of weeks now and am getting a bit frustrated.

I am using a Virus KC.

The manual only covers multi-mode with a few brief paragraphs on page 42. On page 110 Multi-Mode parameters are discussed but again, briefly. There are no step by step instructions.

I wish to setup a simple multi mode by having the Virus play two or three patches at once via the multi.

The patches I wish to use are D87 Prions, A123 Vindicator, and then play around with various third tones.

I have been doig the following:

1. Press Multi
2. Navigate to a blank Multi that says "Overture" (M11)
3. Press Multi and Single together to enter Multi-Single Mode
4. Assign D87 (Prions) to m1
5. Press the PART button to get to m2.
6. Assign A123 (Vindicator) to m2.

PROBLEMS:

A. Prions sounds nothing like it does in Single Mode. it is choppy and very reduced. I tried tweaking the knobs and it only sounded worse (If in Single Mode D87 Prions sounds cool with no manipulation of soft knobs or filters, when I go to it in Multi Mode it sounds like crap!).

B. When I assign A123 to m2 it sounds fine; but I can't hear the two tones play together. Do I have to STORE the Multi Patch before they will play together?

C. The tempo of the patches in Multi Mode is slower than how each patch sounds in Single Mode.

What do I have to do to get these two patches to play simultaneously and for each patch to sound as it does in Single Mode?

Is there a good textbook that covers Access Virus programming in great detail as opposed to the reductionist verse of the manual?

Thanks for any info on this one.

Regards,
