ACCESS VIRUS OS4

PRIORITY

This parameter lets you control 
how the Virus“steals notes when 
its polyphonic performance is 
maxed out. In the first position, 
"LOW", the voices of all PARTs have 
the same priority when one voice 
is switched off to accommodate a 
new voice. When you set the Prior-
ity of a PART to "High", the Virus 
will not “steal” any notes from the 
voices of this PART. Use this param-
eter sparingly. In other words, if 
you set all Parts to High, you’re 
defeating the purpose of this 
parameter. In this case, it wouldn’t 
have any effect since the priority of 
all voices is the same.

   Start your sequencer to play-

back the MIDI-file.
At this stage, you should be able to 
watch the VIRUS counting up the 
received blocks. If the display 
shows ”RECEPTION FAILED,” then a 
transmission error has occurred. 
This can be caused by a buffer 
overrun of the MIDI interface. In 
this case, you will need to upload 
the entire file again. Lower the 
tempo of your sequencer before 
uploading (e.g. 60 bpm). To pro-
