the PART numbers are identical 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.

You only need to exit MULTI SINGLE mode
when you want to store the MULTI program, for
example, to save the current global delay/re-
verb setting. In MULTI mode, these settings are
not stored along with SINGLE sounds.

EDIT BUFFERS
Whenever you play or edit a SINGLE program,
its current data is stored in an edit buffer. This is
an individual memory slot for SINGLE programs
that has nothing to do with the memory slots in
the sound banks. When you activate a new
SINGLE, its data is copied to the edit buffer.
There you can edit it as you see fit while the
original remains unchanged in the bank. When
you activate STORE (more on this in a bit), the
content of the edit buffer is copied back to the
original slot in the bank (or, if you so desire, to
another memory slot).

In MULTI mode, you have one MULTI edit buffer
and 16 SINGLE edit buffers for the PARTs at
your disposal. When you activate another a
MULTI program, its data is copied from the
MULTI bank to the MULTI edit buffer. The MUL-
TI program in turn contains address information
for the SINGLEs involved, in other words, the
bank and program numbers. These addresses
are also copied from the SINGLE banks into the
16 SINGLE edit buffers for the PARTs.

When you store a MULTI program, only the ad-
dresses of the SINGLE programs’ original slots
are saved, but not, however, the sound data in
the 16 SINGLE edit buffers. These must be
stored separately in the SINGLE program
banks.

• Edit buffers can be stored in a sequencer and
sent from it to the VIRUS independently of the
sounds stored in the device (see “Arrangement
