PARAMETER REFERENCE MANUAL125
CONFIG MENU PARAMETERS
¦ Multi Prog. Change
Disabled, Enabled: Species whether the MIDI message “Program Change” will switch the entire Multi Mode
program if received on the global MIDI channel.
¦ MIDI Clock
Value Meaning
Internal Sync Any received MIDI Clock will be ignored. An internally generated clock is used instead.
Sync to External Received MIDI Clock will be recognized. This is the standard setting.
Send Internally generated MIDI Clock is sent to the MIDI output.
MIDI Dump RX
¦ Receive Dump
The Virus automatically recognizes the type of data appearing at its MIDI input. Whenever individual pro-
grams are received, they will appear in the Edit Buffer (see glossary), and must be explicitly stored. There-
fore, the following options only apply when receiving entire bank.
Apart from the Snow, all Viruses so far had banks each holding 128 patches. To maintain compatibility,
the Snow uses 2 banks of each 64 patches to load a Bank Dump. Use Virus Control and the Virus Control
Center to overwrite specic patches, banks or ROM locations.
Value Meaning
Disable Program data arriving at the MIDI input will be ignored.
Enable Bank data (128 sounds) will be stored to the Bank from which it was originally dumped,
regardless of which bank is currently selected.
Force To Bank A+B Bank data is always stored in bank A and B
Force To Bank C+D Bank data is always stored in bank C and D
Force To Bank E+F Bank data is always stored in bank E and F
Force To Bank g*h Bank data is always stored in bank G and H
CongMenuParameters
This menu is opened by pressing the CONFIG button to the left of the display. It contains global parameters
that determine how the entire Virus works. Conguration data does not have to be explicitly stored.
MIDI
¦ GlobalChannel
1 to 16: Species a MIDI channel used for SINGLE mode, as well as for switching between MULTI mode
programs via the MIDI message “Program Change”.
¦ Soft Thru
Off, On: Species whether received MIDI data is also directly routed to (i.e. mirrored at) the MIDI out socket.
Before switching this parameter on, make sure there will be no MIDI loop in your system. This parameter has
no effect when working with Virus Control.
¦ MIDI Device ID
1 to 16, Omni (17): Identication number for transmitting/receiving System Exclusive data (see glossary). To
allow SysEx communication between two devices, they must be set to the same device ID. If set to Omni,
the Virus will receive Sysex data with any ID, and transmit with ID = 17.
¦ Arp Note Send
Off, On: Species whether the notes created by the arpeggiator will be sent to the MIDI output instead of the
original played notes.
¦ MIDI Volume
Disabled, Enabled: Species whether MIDI CC#7 (volume) will be recognized.
¦ Program Change
Disabled, Enabled: Species whether the MIDI message “Program Change” will switch Single programs. This
applies to programs in Single mode as well as PARTs in Multi or sequencer mode.
