cate the the MIDI Channel, the cur-
rent Program Bank (A to D) as well
as the number and name of the
current sound program. Now if you
play notes you should be able to
hear this sound and a ≤ note (the
round dot at the end of the note
staff is solid black) should appear
in the display every time you press
a key and release a key. If you do
not hear a sound but you see a half
note (blank note head) check to
see if you are sending on the
wrong MIDI Channel.

Press the VALUE button to call up
the 128 single programs of Bank A
in sequence. (The VALUE pot is
inactive in this operating mode.) In
order to hear the sound programs
in banks B, C and D, simply use the
PARAMETER/BANK buttons to step
from one program bank to
another.

You’ll find that some sound pro-
grams are labeled with the abbre-
viations ”INP” or ”VOC”. These use
the external audio input as a signal
source for the filter section (INP) or
vocoder (VOC). This means that
you won’t hear anything until you
route an audio signal into the
external audio inputs.

The Virus not only has the capabil-
ity of playing SINGLE PROGAMs,
but also combinations consisting
of more than one sound simulta-
neously (MIDI Multi Mode). To call
up the MULTI PROGRAMs, press
the MULTI button and select these
combination programs via the
VALUE button. The Virus features
“only” 128 MULTI PROGRAMs, so
you don’t have to switch back and
forth between banks they way you
just did while activating single pro-
grams.

The majority of available MULTI
PROGRAMs contain sound combi-
nations that are controlled via a
single MIDI channel. In these
MULTI PROGRAMs, the sounds
involved are allocated side-by-side
(split) or on top of one another
