ACCESS VIRUS OS4

 

The Virus

 

Before you connect the Virus to an 
AC outlet and the rest of your 
equipment, ensure that all of the 
devices are switched OFF. If your 
Virus does not have a build-in key-
board, then connect the MIDI OUT 
of the desired MIDI send device 
(keyboard, computer, hardware 
sequencer, etc.) with the MIDI IN 
of the Virus.

Connect the audio outputs of the 
Virus with the signal inputs of your 
audio system. In order to receive a 
signal, as a minimum you must 
connect the output OUT 1 R/
MONO. However, we recommend 
you also connect the output OUT 1 
L so you are able to enjoy the ste-
reo sounds of the Virus.

Once you have established the 
desired cable connections, make 
sure the main volume controls of 
all the connected devices (Virus: 
MASTER VOLUME, located at the 
upper left hand of the control 
panel) are dialed to the lowest pos-
sible setting. Switch the devices on 
in the following sequence: the 
MIDI send device (computer, mas-
ter keyboard, etc.) first, then the 
sound generators (Virus and the 

other signal sources), followed by 
the mixing console and finally the 
amplifier. 

Now while you are sending notes 
on MIDI Channel 1 of the Virus, 
turn the master volumes of the 
connected devices up in the same 
order that you switched the 
devices on. Be sure to keep on eye 
on the signal level indicators of 
your mixing console.

 

The program memory of the Virus 
was loaded with sound programs 
(SINGLE PROGRAMs) and sound 
combinations (MULTI PROGRAMs) 
before it left the factory. To hear 
the SINGLE PROGRAMs (and gain 
an initial impression of the possi-
bilities your new instrument has to 
offer in terms of sounds), first 
make sure your MIDI source is 
sending on MIDI Channel 1.

Press the SINGLE button. A num-
ber, a letter, number and name 
appear in the display. These indi-
