Some Questions about the Virus PowerCore? Help!

[keano]

How much is the multi lisence to use the whole card for 64 voices?
I am thinking seriously about selling my KC. I love the point of saving a project and and having all the virus tracks open up with the patch in place ready to go.

Also will the arpegiator on the powercore virus and delay effects lock into the BPM of my DAW(Cubase SX2)?

I dont get it.........

When I start a new project in SX, I set up a new multi on my Virus, and choose all sounds from within SX, and all information is stored (including patchs) within my project.

Sounds like you are doing something wrong?

I wouldnt swap a KC for poco virus.......no damn way. They are far too sexy!

I think you should look into setting everything up a little better Keano. Specially before selling the KC!

If you do want to sell, then I'm pretty sure the Appeg and delays of the powercore will lock to BPM clock. You do have the SX-BPM locked properly to your KC though don't you? Just seems like an odd question is all.

Good luck with the choice.

First off thanks guys and sorry for the lame questions. I honestly have one question left.

You know how when using the hardware version of the Virus if you use more then 1 patch you have to use a mutli.

If using the Powercore version can I just use a single on track 1, another single on track 2 and so on instead of multi's?

[Tomer=Trance]

what do you mean?
its multis aswell but each multi has only 4 midi parts per dsp.

[keano]

What I mean is if your using a hardware version and plan on using 3 sounds on 3 different tracks in your DAW you would create a multi-set with those sounds.

I am asking can I avoid that altogether using the software version. In other words open up PC Virus in a track choose my patch - done.
Do the same on another track without creating multi-sets.

When I'm using more than one sound on the VC, I use multi-single mode.

I use Cubase by the way. All I do is select what sounds I want for each midi part in the VC. Then when I record or play midi channel 1 on cubase, the sound that's on part 1 in the Virus plays.

Basicly the VC (or KC, like you have I beleive) will let you have 16 parts all playing different sounds. Once in multi-single/multi mode selecting sounds for each part isn't much more difficult than secting a single sound.

You are acting like using a multi is some really hard, pain in the arse thing to do, when really, it is literally "Pushing a button!!!!"

You push 'Multi'......

Set up your MIDI channels in Cubase, lets say 16 of them, and then each channel is assigned a Different MIDI channel (1-16), then, because you have been a good boy and stored the Virus C patch list within Cubase, you call up whatever sounds you want within cubase.

The questions you are asking really lead me to believe you are doing things the hard way. Dont take it as an attack, Because all of us have been there......

Lets get your system runnning properly (Before you ditch the Hardware Virus).......we are here to help

Good luck!
