On non-part-sensitive parame-
ters the part number is ignored, but
must still be sent as any value.

Remarks for editor/librarian pro-
grams Not all 256 bytes of a Single
or Multi Dump are defined as a
parameter. Some of them are
defined for internal use or reserved
for future applications. In a bulk
dump these byte should not be
changed, they should be sent to the
Virus on the same value as they
were received in the dump.

parameter. Some of them are
defined for internal use or reserved
for future applications. In a bulk
dump these byte should not be
changed, they should be sent to the
Virus on the same value as they
were received in the dump.
One of the internal parameter
(Page A #0) is the Sound Version
Number. On future Virus system
updates new parameters will be
defined. When the Virus receives an
older sound, the new parameters
will be set to default values in the
edit buffer and the version number
will be updated automatically. The
Virus update algorithm can be used
from outside just by sending a
Number. On future Virus system
updates new parameters will be
defined. When the Virus receives an
older sound, the new parameters
will be set to default values in the
edit buffer and the version number
will be updated automatically. The
Virus update algorithm can be used
from outside just by sending a
dump and requesting it back. To
prevent incompatibilites and confu-
sion, the Sound Version Number
should not be changed by any other
device that the Virus itself. When
sounds are imported into a soft-
ware library, they should be auto-
matically pathed through the Virus
first, before allowing a change of
parameters. Otherwise the Virus
might reset new parameters, when
the sound is loaded into the Virus,
after editing parameters.
