I got my snow (+comments)

Thank you Ronkaz! Nice that someone here at the forum is still answering newbie questions

> You also should read the addendum.
What do you mean with addendum? Is it somewhere available?

> Check if the key mode is set to a Mono mode, to "solve" this, change it to "Poly"
Do you mean at the virus or the keyboard? Wonder cause it is only at some presets, so it must be a peset setting.

> But using the knobs you can see the "unedited" value like this "123 [31]" (31 is unedited)
Yea, I have seen it now. Before I haven't payed attention to that figures. But I noticed that the [x] is not at all patches and knobs.

> You can always switch back and forth, no worries.
> Taste
Ok, I certainly will at some time.

> MIDI is a thing, isn't it?
Seems like the only stable thing in the world

Thanks.

the software installs documentation, there is a manual as well as an addendum to the manual. there is also a shiny "?" button in virus control that leads you right there...

this is in the patch settings. press OSC EDIT twice for the "edit osc common 1/2" page there you'll find the key mode.

I couldn't believe that but you are right, it is not in the wavetable selection (at least on the TI)

Thank you Ronkaz,

yesterday I downloaded and installed the "Installer 2.7.3 for Windows" on my vista pc. After initial problems it worked. So I can open an kind of admin VC application where I can (and tested) to do a full backup of the virus snow.

And after installation I have found various documentation including your mentioned addendum.

Do I understand it right, that there is no explicit main VirusControl application on my pc to run? My idea was to have a pc application connected via usb to select (as someone mentioned) patches/presets that are not really on the snow. And play it via midi keyboard.

But I assume that there is now only a vst plugin on my pc, and the VC is only available when I use that plugin in a certain sequencer, right?

As a kind of feedback here my first 3 produced tracks (as a newbie) having my snow 1 1/2 month now:

http://www.fen-net.de/~na468/music

1. Complex (Gary Numan Cover)
2. Droix (Putting things arround a bass melodie I had first in mind)
3. Cry, the clock said (Gary Numan Cover)

Ok, ok. Its not what you guys might expect here (trance, techno, ambient, industrial).

Everything comes from the virus snow. No selfmade sounds, but edited ones - sometimes during runtime.

Altough I have some problems using all features of the snow as plugin in a DAW, I love what I can do. Best investigation ever

File named "Droix" sounds like early Depeche Mode (something like their "any second now" song). =))
