About the Access Snow ATOMIZER as DJ FX Send - The Unofficial Access Virus & Virus TI Forum

Hey there, i'm new to the forum and i'm about to get my first Virus, the Snow.

But i need to know one thing: is it possible to use the Atomizer function as an FX Send on a mixer instead of as the master output of a typical dj setup? Please help!

I think the Atomizer Manual is under your "Start" menu on your computer, then Access Music Folder, then the manuals folder.............that is if you are using a PC based computer..............hope this helps...........

When using Atomizer, by default the input signal is passed unchanged to the output. Only when you press some keys, the audio is affected by Atomizer. So you probably don't want to use it as a send effect - you'll get phasing when the direct signal is summed with the same signal coming out of the Atomizer, and besides, the effect won't sound as cool when it's combined with the dry signal

well...i see your point and that makes sense. But what i dont understand is how am i supposed to use this in a "real-life" dj setup? Imagine i'm djing with cdjs or vinyls and i want to add the atomizer on top of that. My only option here seems to put the virus between the DJ Mixer and the PA mixer:

CONSOLE MIXER OUT --> VIRUS IN -- VIRUS OUT --> PA IN

is that right?
Well then, just imagine i dont want to leave my 1k+ bucks jewel unattended for the rest of the night. I'd want to put it in a safe place - namely my backpack. If for some reason i'm not going to be the LAST dj of the night - and chances are i won't - i'd have to unplug the virus, and replug the console mixer out to the PA, producing a damn embarassing dead blank minute!

Guess what? i'll be remembered as the party stopper. And i totally dont want to be that guy, ftw.

Or did I miss something. .. ?
