Global-, MIDI- and System Parameters

The following parameters are glo-
bal parameters and are accessible 
at any time in the CTRL menu 
regardless of the current operating 
mode. If you own a keyboard ver-
sion of the Virus, the parameters 
for the keyboard and other manual 
control devices will appear at this 
point. These are explained in detail 
in the chapter “The keyboard ver-
sions of the Virus” on page 189

This feature transfers the sound 
data of one Virus to another Virus, 
a computer or a hardware 
sequencer via MIDI. The dump is 
executed via so-called  system 
exclusive data (SysEx). You can 
chose from the following dump 
options:

 

TOTAL    All data in the RAM of 

the Virus, in other words, the SIN-
GLE Banks A and B, the MULTI pro-
grams, the EDIT buffers as well as 
the settings for the global parame-
ters.

 

GLOBAL    Here you can transfer 

all global data (i.e. all parameters 
that are not stored with a Single or 
a Multi e.g. Global Channel).

 

CONTROLLER DUMP    This 

option lets you send a Single to the 
MIDI Out in the form of a control-
ler dump. Here all parameters are 
sent in succession as individual 
parameter changes. The parame-
ters are sent either as controllers, 
polypressure or SysEx messages, 
depending on the setting in CTRL: 
MIDI CONTROL LoPage / HiPage. 
This function sends the SINGLE 
program that you are currently 
processing (the contents of the 
Edit buffer).
The Controller Dump is not an 
alternative to a normal Single 
Dump since it takes so much 
longer to transmit data. However, 
it does allow you to send a com-
plete Single sound to a parameter-
based editor (Logic Environment, 
Cubase Mixer) that is compatible 
with the Virus for the purpose of 
updating the editor.

 

SINGLE BUFFER    This option 

dumps the data of the SINGLE pro-
gram that you are currently pro-
cessing (the Edit buffer).
