KEYB TRANSPOSE Button you can

position).

You will be especially interested in 
the Virus’ Keyboard-Mode-Func-
tion if you intend to use the Virus 
kb / Indigo as a Masterkeyboard in 
order to manage further con-
nected MIDI sound generators. To 
explain it, we have to take a closer 
look: If you use the Virus in MULTI 
MODE, you can play several parts 
on different MIDI channels. You 
can also assign several parts to the 
same MIDI channel, but set so that 
one part is only played on the 
lower end of the keyboard, and a 
different one played on the higher 
end.

 This allows for a variety of split 
and layer variations. The lower half 
of the keyboard plays a bass, the 
higher end plays a pad sound that 
is mixed with brass - and so on. The 
parts are assigned to the keyboard 
areas in the Virus’ Multi, where 
they are also saved - which means 
in the sound generator or in other 
words the receiver as mentioned in 
our “Three in One”-definition). The 
keyboard simply sends out the
