Virus TI Snow

MODUS OPERANDI
Modus Operandi
Mode / Exit Button
Depending on what you want to achieve with your Virus TI Snow, there are three different ‘modes’ to choose
from.Pressing the MODE button brings up a menu from which you can select one of three modes: Single,
Multi or Sequencer. Select the one you want using the Value 1 knob or the Value +/- keys, then press MODE
again to confirm the selection.
••
Single Mode
This is the default mode, in which the Virus will only play one sound at a time across the whole length of your
MIDI controller keyboard.
••
Multi Mode
In Multi mode, you can have up to 4 different sounds playing at a time. Each of these 4 sounds is handled
by a ‘Part’, and each Part has its own performance settings, such as volume, pan position, transpose etc.
By assigning the same MIDI channel to each Part, you can easily create fantastic combinations of any of the
available presets, which can be arranged in layers or split into different key zones.
The Virus TI Snow has 64 slots for storing your Multi setups. These are ‘embedded’ Multis, by which we
mean that they store all the data for the patches they use, so any edits you make to the sounds can be
stored along with the Multi itself, without having to worry about affecting the original copies of the Single presets
themselves.
••
Sequencer Mode
Sequencer mode is a simplified version of Multi mode designed for use with a software sequencer. Each of
the 4 Parts is set to its equivalent MIDI channel, and the performance settings are mostly hidden, as it is expected
that you would rather use your sequencer to control these things.
Please note that you cannot store your settings in Sequencer mode - if it is important to do so, you should
use Multi mode instead.
••
Exit
Pressing this button from within any of the edit menus will bring you back out into the top page of the currently
selected mode.
