fer to control your Virus with its own knobs and
buttons most of the time, SoundDiver still has
quite a few useful functions and features which
complement the Virus user interface very well.

Take for instance SoundDiver’s Memory Man-
ager. This can display the entire memory con-
tents of the Virus clearly arranged on a single
page, and has many comfortable functions to
help you manage all your Single and Multi pro-
grams. For instance SoundDiver lets you drag
and drop sounds from one place to another, or
rename them etc. etc. These are the kinds of
jobs which are handled much more comfortably
on a computer screen than in the (naturally
smaller) Virus menus.

SoundDiver’s library functions let you build up
sound libraries of any size for the Virus, and
store these on your computer’s hard disk. You
can sort some or all the sounds in a library ac-
cording to several criteria, you can search for
sounds, audition them and send several library
sounds at the same time to the Virus (via drag
and drop) etc. etc. It is even possible to connect
several Virii to SoundDiver and feed them with
sounds from a single, central library. Selectively
swapping sounds between two Virii could hard-
ly be more comfortable.

Double-clicking on a sound in SoundDiver’s
Memory Manager loads the sound into an edit-
able graphic display of all parameters and val-
ues. Although there is nothing in this editor you
cannot do on the Virus itself, the attractive on-
screen graphics give you an instant and com-
plete overview of all parameters and their val-
ues, so this is a practical alternative to the Virus
user interface – especially when your unit is not
very accessible (e.g. when built into a 19” rack).

SoundDiver communicates via MIDI with the Vi-
rus and requires two-way connections i.e. both
the MIDI INs and OUTs must be connected be-

MORE TO COME
We have come to the end of these detailed in-
structions for novices. We hope we were able to
help you become a bit more familiar with your
new synthesizer and gain some confidence in
how to handle it. As we mentioned earlier, this is
just an introduction and does not cover all the
functions and features of the VIRUS, only the
basic components and how they affect the
sound of the VIRUS. You should now be able to
come to terms with the in-depth look at the VI-
RUS in the following section.
