The keyboard versions of the Virus
data, and the various notes are dis-
tributed to the correlating parts in
the sound generator.

With the help of the Keyboard-
Mode-Parameter, we can turn the
entire thing around. It can relocate
the Multi’s note assignment back
to the transmitter side, i.e. the key-
board. The notes are checked and
assigned in the keyboard and not
in the sound generator. The idea
behind this option is that it is an
easy and elegant way to include
external sound generators in the
split and layer configurations.

The bass mentioned in the exam-
ple above, was only activated by
the lower half of the keyboard.
Now the sound would no longer
have to come from the Virus, any
other MIDI controlled synthesizer
would do. Selected keyboard
ranges can be diverted at the MIDI-
Out long before they reach the
Virus’ sound generator. During a
live performance this enables you
to tie in external sound generators
by using the Virus as a masterkey-
board. This is not possible in nor-
mal MULTI MODE because the
ple above, was only activated by
the lower half of the keyboard.

enables you to select OneChannel
or Multichannels and this is how it
works:
If Onechannel is selected, the key-
board transmits on the MIDI chan-
nel of the selected part (or on the
“Global Channel” in Single Mode)
to the sound generator and to the
MIDI-Out. This is the normal set-
ting for all sequencer and stand-
alone applications. If MultiChan-
nels is selected, the keyboard sig-
nals are generally sent to all the
Multiparts. All the active parts
(PartEnable=On) are controlled by
the keyboard, regardless of which
MIDI channel has been set.
Whether data is sent out via MIDI
depends on the KeybToMidi
parameter (Off, On) which can be
found in the Part-Parameters in
Multimode: If KeybToMidi is acti-
vated (On) for one or more parts,
the keyboard transmits to MIDI-
Out on each of the part’s MIDI
channels. It is hereby taken into
consideration which keyboard area
