The Virus and Sequencers

beginning the song, and you’d pre-
vent hiccups such as the wrong 
sounds, ”stuck” values and jumps 
from the get-go. In the next sec-
tion, you’ll find out just how you 
can do this.

Archiving all of the sounds used in 
a song is not only a good idea to 
prevent potential problems that 
may occur when parameters are 
controlled in real time. It also 
makes it easy for you to recall your 
work at some later point. Assum-
ing that you’ve connected the 
MIDI Out of the Virus with a MIDI 
In of the computer, you can, for 
example, at any time send an indi-
vidual sound or the content of the 
entire memory via MIDI in the 
form of something called a bulk 
dump to the sequencer and record 
this data there. This has an distinct 
advantage: all sound data can be 
stored together with the song and 
the status of the Virus required for 
this song can be restored at any 
time by simply sending the 
recorded data to the device. You’ll 
find the menu for SysEx dumps by 
going to the CTRL menu and then 
MIDI DUMP TX.

When you opt to record a bulk 
dump to a sequencer, you can pro-
ceed in the same manner as you 
would when you record tracks con-
