Playing multiple Virus Channels in Cubase SX atthe same time

[caleyking]

Is it possible then?

At the moment when I select ANY or Channel 1 in a midi track in SX, which corresponds to the GlobalChan on the Virus, it plays.

So if I wanted to play another midi track, but use a different patch/prog, in the same project how do I do it please?

You have to choose Multi on your Virus. And make sure that each Part has a different midi chanel.

>use the ( - Part + ) buttons to go thruogh the 16 parts.
>use the ( - Parameter + ) to find the 'MidiChanel'

yes just discovered this myself and what a hurdle to leap. Only problem is that that u can only have one instance of the effect setting for all 16 parts when in MULTI mode.

So my question for those who use thier sequencers and virus's in this way how do you get around this? I'm kinda a little frustrated because you tweak a sound till it is just what you want including the effect and then it gets taken away.

Whats a solution? I'm still learning how to sx2 and my virus c so basic explanantions would be good.

I'm going to try a few things tonight and I'm guessing that I will have to have to set up a similar effect and an audio channel in cubase.

What do you do?

There is no way to get around it. The virus has a global delay/reverb (heaven knows why, totally retarded idea in first place.) If you want to use it in multi-mode then your up shit creek im afraid. Yes I know it makes multi-mode pretty much a waste of time unless you plan on using external delay/verb for each sound.

The virus TI will change all of that because it has independant delay/reverb for each sound, doesnt help you much I know but still its about bloody time

yes after my initial excitement and thinmking that this would make the work progress great i'm now disappointed

so I guess i have to record each sound to an audio track and keep the midi track for changing if need be at a later date.

brett one workaround for this situation is to set up your audio outs through your soundcard... and use vst fx.

for example if you get a soundcard with 6 trs in's, you could record 3 stereo channels simultaneously from the virus into 3 seperate stereo channels in your sequencer, each of which can be set up with different vst fx.

this is one of the reasons i am still sitting waiting going insane waiting for the TI. 8O
