I'm having trouble setting up a multi-mode patch...

[Hollowcell]

No need to use Sounddiver...

The way I do it is (I'm on a C and is the same as Onkel, but I'll include a few more details):

Once in Multi-single mode (or Multi-mode I guess).

Press System Edit and scroll through until you can read Midi chanel * in the botton half of the screen.

Turn the data knob to select what ever midi channel you want for that part. Starting from part 1 would be the easiest. The part number is in the top left of the Virus screen.

I'd sugest chosing midi channel 1.

Then press the right part button. This will move you to the next part (part 2), but still leave the midi channel selection page in the screen. Chose midi channel 1 for this part too.

Continue to the next part and change the midi channel to 1. So on and so on until you have all 16 parts playing from the same midi channel (if infact you want to layer 16 sounds at once that is).

Once you have this setup, it's easy for you to go through and select which patches you want to have layered, or just just change one patch at a time with-in the layer.

Hope that helps mate.

I'd say it's much quiker and easier than booting up sounddiver.

...easier than booting up sounddiver.

And remember that if you want to play the layered sound from keyboard, you'll have to activate it (atleast on my kB on the menu there were "Part active" option which had to be turned on before the ?ayered sound played).

OK Juho L and Hollowcell;

I am closer...

Although I'm sure Sound Diver is a cool tool; I want to figure this one out first via the KC directly.

I was able to set up a multi yesterday as specified by Hollowcell; the tricky part was assigning a patch to each part.

I kept getting lost because Iwould hit the Parameter button to look for the part and that would take me out of the Multi I was setting up and +/- into a new one depending on which Parameter button I hit.

I am clsoe gentlemen!

I will begin my experiments after I walk my dog here shortly...

Thank you again for the tips and information!

I really appreciate it!

If you use Multi/Single mode you can assign a patch to the active part as if you where in Single mode and then change the part (by pressing "Part") and then select a new patch etc.

Example:

- Set up the parts MIDI-channels as descibed earlier.
- Press "Multi" and "Single" simultanously to enter multi single mode.
- Select part 1.
- Select disired patch for part 1.
- Select part 2.
- Select disired patch for part 2.
- Select part 3
- Select disired patch for part 3
- Etc.

You get the point...

How'd u get on with the whole Multi saga????

Hope u got it sorted, I cant imagine not being able to work out Multi-mode when using a sequencer. It surely would suck

[AlexHall74]

Hey Jasedee!

To be quite honest I have been a slack bastard at resolving this one!

I have no excuse!

Basically I have had very little time to better learn how to use my Virus KC.

My second daughter was born five weeks ago and the house has been crawling with relatives since (mother in-law, my mom, father-in-law+his new wife, AAAACK!)

Now they are gone and peace shall return to my home.

I have a much better understanding of how multi-mode works because of all the genereous responses in this thread and have attempted to setup my desired multi quite a few times in the course of this thread; I have just been de-railed as a result of these recent events. (My father-in-law and his wife just left this morning!)

The baby is doing great, my wife is doing great, that is what's really important.

My wife and I had a chat and she asked me if I could block off Saturday and Sunday mornings to let her go and workout at the gym so she can get back into shape (she's a jock too) and lose the last few pounds of the additional pregnancy weight (her belly is already flat only 5 weeks later, YEAH!!).

I told her that I would be happy to do so, but that I would like some uniterrupted, dedicated time on the weekends as well to work in my project studio. She agreed, so each weekend I now have a 2 hour block on Saturday and Sunday to freak out with my Virus, guitars, DAW, etc.

It's all about give and take (relationships) and persistence (learning how to use the Virus!).

Thank you for reminding me to finish what I started; this post is back on my radar now that the waters of my life have calmed!

Take care Jasedee!

Congrats with the new member of your family

[AlexHall74]

Thank you Onkel Dunkel!

She is an angel; I am very lucky to have her!

Thank God she has been healthy and she is eating well.

We are all a little tired from sleepless nights but week by week she is getting closer to being on a schedule.

I am definitely a proud Dad.

I might have to schedule a "mental health" day at my office so I can stay home and keep hacking athi Multi-mode.

I promise I will not let all the good advice offered to me here go to waste; it is all very much appreciated.

How have you been Onkel Dunkel; is all well?

[AlexHall74]

The blessings of fatherhood are many.

Cheers!
