Concept and Operation
features. The CTRL and EDIT menus
let you access the usual SINGLE
parameters. In this operating
mode, you’ll find that the CTRL
menu has been expanded to
include some organizational
parameters, for instance, the
PART’s volume level, panorama and
output assignments. You’ll always
see the number of the selected
PART on the upper left in the dis-
play. The PART buttons don’t actu-
ally change sounds, they simply set
the user interface of the Virus to
the desired PART. Irrespective of
the given setting, all PARTs can be
controlled simultaneously via
MIDI. Consequently, MULTI SINGLE
mode, which makes handling so
much easier, is the ideal choice
when you’re working with a con-
nected sequencer.

Please bear in mind that MULTI
SINGLE mode is really just another
view of the normal MULTI mode.
MULTI SINGLE mode doesn’t offer a
unique data type for storing
sounds, it always works with the
MULTI program currently selected
in normal MULTI mode. All of the
normal MULTI mode parameters
(keyboard zones, etc.) remain
intact and in force even though

the device to normal MULTI mode
at any time by pressing the MULTI

MULTI and SINGLE buttons simul-

When you’re working with a
sequencer, start with a MULTI pro-
gram that features neutral set-
tings for its ”administrative”
parameters, for example, the
MULTI program M0 Sequencer.
Here the PART numbers are identi-
cal to the MIDI channels of the
PARTs. Now when you work in
MULTI SINGLE mode, the Virus
responds as if it were in SINGLE
mode, except that you have 16
sounds available simultaneously
on 16 MIDI channels. Use the PART
buttons to select these sounds.

You only need to exit MULTI SIN-
GLE mode when you want to store
the MULTI program, for example,
to save the current global delay/
reverb setting. In MULTI mode,
these settings are not stored along
with SINGLE sounds.
