Midi - Access virus classic Handbuch

MIDI DUMP RX
The Virus lets you audition sound banks that are available as MIDI dumps on a sequencer individu-
ally rather than loading them directly to the banks of the Virus, where they would delete that the
sounds that you have stored there.
Set the MIDI DUMP RX parameter to Force To Edit Buffer. With this option, sounds that would other-
wise be loaded directly to a sound bank via MIDI are instead loaded to the Edit buffer. The name of
the given sound is shown in the display and can be played straightaway. When additional sounds
are sent via MIDI, the sounds that were sent previously are overwritten in the Edit buffer. If you set
the tempo of the sequencer that is sending sounds to a very slow speed, you can load individual
sounds and store them to the desired memory slot by pressing the STORE button.
The two Force To Bank A and "Force To Bank B" options send an incoming sound dump to the
respective bank irrespective of which bank the sounds were originally stored in.
The Verify option compares a MIDI dump to the memory content of the Virus. It checks if a dump
was recorded properly on the sequencer and if it can be played back correctly. Load data from the
sequencer into the Virus while "Verify" is enabled. The Virus' display will indicate if the device is
actually receiving data and it will call your attention to any transmission errors that may occur. 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 vol-
ume 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.
