Hi there...
I just bought Virus C and I wanna connect it on pc so I can work in cubase sx. can anyone tell me how should I connect it via m-audio 2494 soundcard to get sounds from virus on my sequencer?
thanks!

Do you want to record the sound of the Virus in Cubase or do you want to make your sequenser play the Virus? Well in any case here are solutions to both:

To record audio from the Virus in Cubase connect out 1 on the Virus to the input of your soundcard. If you want to process sounds from your computer in the Virus also connect the output of your soundcard to ext. in on your Virus.
To make your sequenser play your Virus via. MIDI connect a MIDI-cable from MIDI out on your soundcard to MIDI in on your Virus. To record the knob movements of the Virus in Cubase also connect MIDI out from the Virus to MIDI in on the soundcard.
To make understanding even easier:

Audio connections:
Virus Out 1 -> Soundcard audio in
Soundcard audio out -> Virus Ext in

MIDI connections:
Virus MIDI out -> Soundcard MIDI in
Soundcard MIDI out -> Virus MIDI in

Yes, it is possible. You need to have the Virus in Multi or Multi-single mode. I suggest a good read of the Virus manual, all the information you need is in there. If you still get stuck, of course feel free to ask here, but it would go a long way in helping you understand the Virus if you went through the manual.

Good luck!

ok,i've done all this stuff,i made that all plays at once,it's simple when you read it.....but now,i,can't save it,it said's: ˝they are some edited singles!!!˝
i didn't see that in the manual....
anyone know what's that mean...?

Umm...I think that just means that the edits you made will effect the single patches. It shouldnt stop you from storing your multi though. I will have a play around and check...

You could either do a factory reset, restoring all original patches etc, or you could just rename the multis and create your own...
