I use the Virus in single mode most often. I like to use single-multi-mode when experimenting with re-routing sounds, but thats about all. I find the voices are used up way too quickly in my VC to use single-multi all the time. If I wanna layer I usually layer the VC with another synth in my setup. Other than that single mode for me. Record to wave, then play another is my most common method.

I do the like the fact you can save multi setups independant to the original patches though. For example when I'm making a track I usually want to tweak the patches to fit the song itself - not change the original patch.

Still though, if my VC had more voices I can't help but think I'd use single-multi-mode a hell of alot more. As it is though, I hardly ever touch it.
