You're not actually going to load any sounds into the virus - you can't do that anyway - you need to call up a preset which has been prepared in order to 'edit', as you put it, or process a sound.

You need to play the sound into the inputs on the virus (from keyboard or from cubase via your mixer), add effects/atomise/filter etc, then feed it from the virus outputs, back into the mixer.

You cannot change a samples as you would. Since they cannot "load" into the virus, you cannot effect it's frequency/pitch/FM/RM... You can however use the inputs and route the sound through the filters which can be modulated by whatever the heck you want. Then apply some effects for a more interesting result.
