[. . . ] Data stored in the Virus remains unaffected by this operation. EXPRESSION CONTROLLER The Virus is able to handle Expression Controller (Controller #11) commands. Expression is a volume controller similar to Channel Volume that can be used independently as a volume control or to create gate effects (Controller #7). It is also reset by Controller Reset (double click on PANIC). The default setting is 127. 168 BANK/PROGRAM CHANGE VIA SYSEX A bank or program change can be initiated via a SysEx command. These commands are independent of MIDI channels as well as all other SysEx parameter changes. SysEx program changes are always carried out irrespective of whether or not the normal program change is disabled. PART BANK SELECT F0, 00, 20, 33, 01, 10, 72, pp, 1F, vv, F7 (the change is executed only when a program change command is received) PART BANK CHANGE F0, 00, 20, 33, 01, 10, 72, pp, 20, vv, F7 (the change is executed immediately) PART PROGRAM CHANGE MULTI PROGRAM CHANGE F0, 00, 20, 33, 01, 10, 72, pp, 21, vv, F7 F0, 00, 20, 33, 01, 10, 72, 00, 69, vv, F7 pp: Part Number from 00 to 0F (0 - 15), vv: Program Number from 00 to 7F (0-127) PRIORITY This parameter lets you control how the Virus"steals notes when its polyphonic performance is maxed out. In the first position, "LOW", the voices of all PARTs have the same priority when one voice is switched off to accommodate a new voice. When you set the Priority of a PART to "High", the Virus will not "steal" any notes from the voices of this PART. In other words, if you set all Parts to High, you're defeating the purpose of this parameter. In this case, it wouldn't have any effect since the priority of all voices is the same. OS Update Installation The Virus b, kb and Indigo use an identical operating system. The differences in hardware is detected automatically. VIRUS CLASSIC MANUAL Tips And Tricks 169 1 Load the MIDI file into your sequencer and make sure you have chosen the right MIDI channel and port settings. The MIDI file contains the new software for the Virus, packed in MIDI Sysex data. 2 Ensure that the MIDI clock option is disabled (mixing SysEx data and the MIDI clock can lead to malfunctions of your MIDI interface). 3 Start your sequencer to playback the MIDI-file. At this stage, you should be able to watch the VIRUS counting up the received blocks. If the display shows "RECEPTION FAILED, " then a transmission error has occurred. This can be caused by a buffer overrun of the MIDI interface. In this case, you will need to upload the entire file again. Lower the tempo of your sequencer before uploading (e. g. To proceed, press any key followed by STORE which will again enable the receive mode. In case that the load procedure simply stops at a certain position, the sequencer you use is not able to playback the file correctly.
