Access Music User Forum

Since TI is a VSTi counterpart of the hardware, and thus is supposedly Totally Integrated like any other VSTi, The multi mode should be accessible like say the Korg M1 Legacy, though there are hundreds of examples other than that. Hope to see this in OS5, If it's a matter of the TI hardware's architecture that this may not be possible, kindly say so.

Hello to everyone... I´m new here, I don´t use to participate too much in the forum, but I find it really usefull.. Well Firstly just say that I´m a Virus Ti user since almost 4 years now aswell as lots of hardware devices... So i´m very interested on that as I play the virus without computer... I agree that 16 slots for the multimode is not enough.

I found this topic looking for a solution on how to save the virus control projects in to a Multipatch, I would like to say that even if the VC vst is not a multimode editor, ok... But why not give the chance to the TI users on saving your VC preset as a MULTI patch, and use it for playing Live, a lot of virus users play with them on stage and I think is just an esential detail that can make the things really easier... It Is that too difficult?, just allow you to save the 16 parts in to the Virus.

Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my english.

Maybe a bit OT but as a live device I asked myself why the virus has just up/down keys to select a patch / multi-.

It's quite unlikely to impossible that you always organize stuff in a straight order so some buttons for random access would be a great deal. Maybe this idea is too vintage or to simple in our pc beloved times...?

Don't tell me one can set program change commands to buttons on a controller keyboard or external device - I haven't seen one yet where this is really simple and intuitive - if it's possible at all without an editor. Editors are useful for detailed editing but usually do not make this simple task fast and more pleasant.

On the Virus, press [STORE], select "->Multibuffer", press [STORE]. When you exit Virus Control, go to Multi Mode and press [STORE] again to store it to some multi location.

It's a shame the reverse process is not possible...

To save SINGLE patches from an embedded multi, press [STORE] in Multi Mode, select the destination "Store Single Menu", hit Store and save the patch somewhere in the Virus. VC will sync it up next time.
You can also dump the arrangement to your sequencer, store it as a MIDI file (Format 0), place it in the patches folder and access the patches via VC.

Though Multi mode and Sequencer mode do have 16 parts and a range of similar parameters, they do work a bit different and are not compatible in both directions (which is one of the reasons their editing is not supported in Virus Control).

Well most of my multis are in the 16 onwards range so the first bit is redundant as they are already stored in the RAM banks (yes, all the little variations of the same patch used in different multis - and they can't go into ROM because I need to be able to tweak them and save), though useful to have mentioned in the forum for those that bother to search.

I'm aware of the dissimilarities between multi and VC in their setup, but there are a lot of common parameters, and I'm pretty sure these are the ones that people actually care about transferring (ie the time consuming and hard to remember ones).

They both have the patch, the pan/volume and output channel(s), the pitch offset could be superimposed onto the osc pitch values if it were really a problem and thats about it, really. Also, MIDI channel settings can be accomodated in the sequencer as can key ranges so VC doesn't need to worry about that.

Though we still have not figured out how to get all 4 parts on the Snow to sound off at the same time using Sonar 8.5, Minihost, and Savihost, (any ideas?), I have been able to save a 4 part Multi as a .FXP, and recall it through whichever host. So I am hoping this will allow us to recall Multi's with the VC? (not worried about storing them in the Snow's hardware,... yet.), as all parameters do save. This is important to us as we are likely going to use our future Multis again in other songs. Any ideas on all this?

Thanks!

Chris

That is very useful. I wondering how to do that.
