CHAPTER 7
Main Edit Menu

 

Every SINGLE sound can be assigned to up to
two categories by means of the parameters
CATEGORY 1 and CATEGORY 2. For example,
you could assign the attributes "Bass" and "Ac-
id" or "Lead" and "Favorite 1" to a given sound.
These categories may be changed at any time
and can be stored along with the sound. The
factory sounds are assigned default categories.

The VIRUS has two freely assignable potenti-
ometers which are particularly useful for giving
direct access to parameters which are other-
wise only available from within the menus. The
destination parameters are defined in the Edit
menu (SOFT KNOB 1/2 MODE). There are two
parameters for each knob, one global and one
local i.e. applying only to the current SINGLE
program (which will override the global defini-
tion if defined). SOFT KNOBs always work in
JUMP mode. 

Please note that SOFT KNOB 2 doubles as a
value control, and therefore only works as a
SOFT KNOB when the Virus is in Play mode i.e.
no Edit menu is selected.

These Soft Knobs operate in three different
modes:

-   GLOBAL  The knob controls the parameter

that you have set to Global in the Soft Knob
menu regardless of what the other settings
and the selected SINGLE program may be.

-  SINGLE  The knob controls the parameter

that you have set to Single in the Soft Knob
menu. The setting for this parameter is stored
in the SINGLE program and called up when-
ever you select this program. If, however, you
have not selected a parameter for this pro-
gram (SOFT KNOB Single = OFF), the setting
for SOFT KNOB Global is automatically ena-
bled.

-  MIDICONTRL  Here the controller number

entered in the SOFt KNOB MIDI menu is sent
regardless of what the other settings and the
selected SINGLE program may be. Compara-
ble to a small MIDI fader box, this mode is
used to control connected MIDI devices.
Note that this information is not processed in-
ternally in the VIRUS.

The setting for the actual SOFT KNOB mode is
global. Under normal circumstances, you
should set SOFT KNOB mode to ”Single” be-
cause this is the most versatile mode. When
you select a SINGLE sound whose SOFT KNOB
mode is set to ”Single”,  this setting is of course
enabled. If not, Global SOFT KNOB mode is en-
abled.
