Arrangement Dump - The Sound in the Song
however, you change or replace the sound in
the VIRUS at some point? The program change
message in the song would call up the wrong
sound. The more reliable and certainly more el-
egant solution would be to store the sound(s) in
the song. The VIRUS then receives all settings
for sounds at the beginning the song, and you’d
prevent hiccups such as the wrong sounds,
”stuck” values and jumps from the get-go. In
the next section, you’ll find out just how you
can do this.

ARRANGEMENT DUMP - THE
SOUND IN THE SONG
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 re-
call your work at some later point. Assuming
that you’ve connected the MIDI Out of the VI-
RUS with a MIDI In of the computer, you can,
for example, at any time send an individual
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 SYS-
TEM menu and then MIDI DUMP TX.

When you opt to record a bulk dump to a se-
quencer, you can proceed in the same manner
as you would when you record tracks consist-
ing of notes. For example, you can move a bulk
dump to any position in the arrangement. To as-
quencer, you can proceed in the same manner
as you would when you record tracks consist-
ing of notes. For example, you can move a bulk
dump to any position in the arrangement. To as-
sure that the VIRUS plays the song back using
the right sounds, we recommend that you posi-
tion stored data prior to the song. Move all
components of the actual song back so that
you’re left with enough room to accommodate
the dump prior to the song’s start position.
Then when you start the sequencer on the first
bar, sound-related data is sent to the VIRUS be-
fore the actual song begins. An individual sound
dump is very short; a dump comprising a com-
plete memory bank will extend over several
bars.

During a bulk dump, the VIRUS sends MIDI
SysEx data to the computer. If you encounter
problems while recording a bulk dump, please
check if your sequencer refuses to accept Sy-
sEx data due to one-sided filtering. You can
check whether or not anything was recorded by
taking a look at the Event or List editor of your
sequencer. In this editor, MIDI data is displayed
numerically instead of graphically; in a normal
Note editor (Key Edit, Matrix Edit or the like) Sy-
sEx data is NOT visible. Once you’ve success-
fully recorded a dump, look for entries in the list
that are labeled ”SysEx”.

The VIRUS lets you to send the entire memory
content or just parts thereof to the sequencer.
The most reliable solution is to transfer the en-
tire memory (MIDI DUMP RX: Total). There is,
however, a catch: Since a great deal of data is
being transmitted (”Total”, after all, means all
SINGLE programs, all MULTIs, and so forth),
the dump is very extensive and takes quite
some time. Alternatively, you can also send just
individual sounds, MULTIs or so-called ”ar-
rangements”.

The other truly reliable option for archiving
sounds is dumping an arrangement (MIDI
DUMP RX: Arrangement). In this case, the cur-
rent MULTI is transmitted. Since a MULTI con-
