Save a Virus
 

I can't stress this enough...

Get a control surface thats CHEAP and save your knobs and
buttons. I learned this a long time ago with sliders and pads and
knobs on different instruments I used in the 90's which then needed
repair. Right now I use a Trigger Finger for a TON of stuff and my
Virus KC for very little other than playing it's keys. Midi CC is in the
back of your manual or look for the PDF around the net. Plug those
vaules into your Controller and off you go and your virus knobs and
sliders are safe from your tweaking! Hope this helps.
