Tips, tricks and other Words of Wisdom

In MULTI mode, the EDIT and CTRL 
menus are responsible for admin-
istering the 16 PARTs. Conse-
quently, you can’t access SINGLE 
program parameters directly here. 
Beyond that, you’re unable to 
change the SINGLE programs 
directly, which would admittedly 
be a handy option when you’re 
working with a sequencer. This is 
why the Virus features MULTI SIN-
GLE mode, which, strictly speaking, 
is more an alternative view of 
MULTI mode rather than a further 
mode in its own right. Activate 
MULTI SINGLE mode by pressing 
the MULTI and SINGLE buttons 
simultaneously.

Please bear in mind that MULTI 
SINGLE mode is really just another 
view of the normal MULTI mode 
and that it always works with the 
MULTI program that is currently 
selected in normal MULTI mode.

When you’re working with a 
sequencer, start with a MULTI pro-
gram that features neutral set-
tings for its “administrative” 
parameters, for example, the 

MULTI program M0 Sequencer. 
Here the PART numbers are identi-
cal to the MIDI channels of the 
PARTs. Now when you work in 
MULTI SINGLE mode, the Virus 
responds as if it were in SINGLE 
mode, except that you have 16 
sounds available simultaneously 
on 16 MIDI channels. Use the PART 
buttons to select these sounds.
