Has anyone plugged the outputs of their Virus and put them through an Electro Harmonix Micro Synthesizer or Bass Micro Synthesizer? I have one of each right in front of me and I thought of shooting for the Chemical Brothers/Break Beat type sound. I'll try it this weekend, but just wondering if anyone else has done it???I'll try it this weekend, but just wondering if anyone else has done it??? why bother if somebody else has? .... ;-) think different!

Can you sync MIDI filter sweeps over MIDI, etc?

In the US, the simple act of publishing a work establishes a copyright. The (c) doesn't even need to appear on it although it's customary and perhaps required in other parts of the world. So just putting it out there establishes a copyright. A more formal approach is to send a copy of the work to (insert name of govt office I've forgotten here) which really only serves as documentation of the date of copyright. It doesn't protect the work any better, it only makes it easier to establish the date of the copyright so you can sue someone easier. But, the whole issue of copyright kind of falls apart when you look at the internet and music, etc. But I won't get in to that. Have a nice day. (c) 2000, Uhman. All rights reserved worldwide.

Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.comHello All! I am a recent Virus KB purchaser in Texas. I use it, of course, for Dance production. In the past, I've created trailer music for an Anime company here in Houston. Now I'm focusing on doing my OWN music. The virus is absolutely amazing...a nice addition to the sound palette indeed. Recently, I've gone a bit retro and discontinued sequencing using Logic for midi. I still use Logic for audio, but I've shifted to sequencing on an MPC-60. What a positive change! Previously, I had only used the MP for creating drum parts. The timing is unparalleled. As far as I can tell, most of the controller info can be recorded as well. Since it also transmits midi clock, it syncs with the virus' effects too. On the copyright issue: Since the discussion has begun, I'd like to offer a couple of statements in order to clarify some of what is being said. 1) 'Copyright' vests (at least in the U.S.) once an ORIGINAL WORK OF AUTHORSHIP is FIXED in a tangible form. Thus, under the current law, publication is unnecessary. The moment you lift your pen from the last page of your novel or as soon as you press the stop button on your ADAT after your recording session you have rights, provided YOU have CREATED SOMETHING ORIGINAL. The only time publication was an issue (for different reasons) was under the 1909 copyright regime. To reiterate, the dividing line between protection and non-protection under CURRENT law is CREATION: FIXATION of an ORGINAL work. 2) Copyright is an umbrella term for a bundle of rights. Namely: the right to reproduce (copy), adapt (make derivative works), publish, perform and display the WORK. 3) Registration and the bundle of rights known as 'Copyright' are separate issues. Registration serves two functions. It provides notice to others that rights to a particular work exist. It also serves an evidentiary function. That is, it provides proof (which can be rebutted) that the registrant is the holder of those rights as of the DATE OF FILING. 4) DO NOT rely on the so-called poor man's copyright. That is, don't mail a copy of your song to yourself. In an infringement suit, it offers little, if any, evidentiary weight. In the U.S. filing fees are currently $30. Registration coupled with placing the copyright symbol on the record or CD offers the best protection. In the U.S. The Library of Congress has copyright web-site. Forms may be directly downloaded. I believe the EU now has a central registry (in Spain?). Citizens of Berne signatory countries, need only register in their home country. However, it never hurts to register everywhere the work may be distributed. Lastly, CONSULT A LAWYER. Even if you cannot afford one, many jurisdictions have organizations which offer pro-bono or sliding scale services. Research and make use of them. Best Regards, GriffinEd, You gotta get it. It will change your life. Join the new religion. By the way, why are you selling the A3000? Have you found a better sampler? I was thinking about buying the new A4000. Pehaps you might be interested in a trade? My Virus A for the A3000?

Results were interesting. When I glued a load of copies of the rimshot together (on 1/8ths) then played them out the analog out and recorded in the analog in of my 882, the delay was exactly 5 ticks (is that 5/768 of a note? I'm not sure) on every single note. The originals were exactly on the beat (I converted these too - bang on 1) so my recording delays by 4 ticks. I tried recording the midi out also. The result was a good solid 6 (with a little wobble at the start) I like old samplers so first up was : Roland S770 This daddy of a sampler was very accurate going like, 13,15,17,14,18,, then every 20 notes or so it would freak out and play,like, a 35 (then back to 13,15,17,14,18 etc) you could definately hear this. Now the big bottom of this old beast is fantastic but I can hear it fucking up now I know what to listen for. Gutted, where's that Turbo upgrade from the 90's gone ? Average 16 Emax2 Rack Lovely filters, simple OS, slightly more of a delay than the Roland though more scattered (but no big glitches) It does sound tight I must say. Average 17 Digidesign Samplecell 2 no bottom end at all, good for percussion . No midi so much less delay. Average 13 Virus (at last, getting back onto Topic) Using the fantastic new V3 drums (the new 808 kick is simply awesoooome)there was more of a delay than the samplers but then, more works being done by the proccessor(s?) Average 22 (lo18 hi25) DX7 (816) The master of all comedy evil when you edit it ! Average 11 (lo9 hi15) 808 Using Kenton Pro2 KADI Wow! These triggered so tight I checked it 3 times. Shame my 808 is one without a good deep kick (different colour start button or something) I use the Virus or a sample now anyway. Rimshot 7 Kick 9 Now I know different waveforms will trigger the Audio Analyzer differently in Logic but different sounds kept on getting very similar results from the same machine. I don't care that the virus is a bit slower reacting than the others as it is reliably late. And thats what's important about tightnes in music. A sloppy pattern can sound tight as long as the sloppiness is the same every time. Then its called feel. (Using your ears can also help ! ) Any thoughts on my process would be gratefully received, as would other results from similar timing experiments. I am particularly interested in any comparisons with MPC's as they do sound tighter than a MAC. Regards, Gerald Stringer.

It felt weird to use the Virus with a different layout of buttons, but it was great to see everything laid out on the surface with no LCD menus to go down into to. I'm really impressed with it, it gave me a very different perspective on programming the wonderful red box. And because there was no submenu system I could make-fail-modify-fail-modify-finish much faster. I wish this was availible for PC users, and wish that it would ship with the Virus. My only other wish for it, is for more librarian abilities. Dump banks, modify, tweak, make new banks.... even be nice if it would update the virus for people that have problems with sequencers. I also like that it allows you to create a number of presets and save them. Oh yeah one weird idea... have a website that people can upload these presets too and exchange them. Anyone with a Virus B using it? I assume it still work without all the new features. Anyone know if a Virus B specific version will come out? (I plan on getting a B in few months). All in all... this is one of those pieces of software I won't live without.Ê Kintama hi, finally i found the time to fix the problems with the VEP (Virus Editor Project) message board. i would be very happy to meet you guys there again. also everyone new who wants to participate in the development of a windows editor for the virus is invited to join us. cu, cy -- _______________________________________________ http://www.cymotec.de cymotec cyclone - industrial dance from germany ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Is it possible to "blow" the inputs on the virus b? I have recently been running the Waldorf Pulse into the virus in stereo, and outputtig it from a separate out on the v b. Last night, during a recording session, the outputs that the Pulse comes out of started doing some seriously weird shit! The sounds would distort (not in a good way), and when I released the key, a horrible staticy distortion would then take over and remain held. I took the Pulse out of the Virus b, and am now running it into it's own channel on the board. I think this sucks...first I had problems with polyphony stealing when using this method, and now it sounds like the input or output is wrecked on the V B. Can anyone enlighten me as to how this would happen? It worked fine for two straight weeks, and then it just all of a sudden decides to crap out like this...I don't get it. Also, I still hear a lot of clicks and pops when sweeping certain parameters on the Vocoder of the Vb. I've tried adjusting the control smooth, as well as the input settings, and something just doesn't seem correct here. Help P.S. Yes...I am running OS V 3.0 rev B.

Thanks.Brooks- Have you tried initializing the Virus? I have found that Bit Reducer distortion used on the inputs results in a static noise that holds indefinately when you release the key- maybe this became activated by mistake? Was there definately only one channel on the Virus that had the inputs activated? I too have found that the Virus makes unwanted pops and clicks when adjusting certain knobs- e.g. the filter balance when you sweep it past the centre. Strangely, it seems a lot less likely to do this when it receives the instruction via MIDI only. It also clicks inbetween the notes sometimes when playing a monophonic sound, especially if the passage is quite fast, although this is only really noticeable if the sound is on the soft side. I suspect that the Virus struggles to achieve a completely smooth Portamento. Mine also clicks when adjusting some of the Vocoder parameters. -Ben ----- Original Message ----- From: brooks rongstad To: Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2000 4:29 PM Subject: Virus B inputs >Is it possible to "blow" the inputs on the virus b?

Just want to know if any other swedes have any experiences of buying gear via mailorder from Germany. Any problems? Has anyone else any good or bad experiences of "Musiciansgear"? Tia MickeI've gotten some clicks as well, when running for example a bassline alongside the "Strings CK" patch in an arrangement; I've also noticed some dropped and stuck notes. Both the clicks and the MIDI glitches are erratic and seem to appear only when the Virus is receiving notes on several channels at once. It's possible the MIDI dropouts aren't the fault of the Virus, but the same sequences seem to work fine on my other synths. I'll experiment further and see if I can give you a repeatable example. Along similar lines, I've noticed the Virus pops on patch changes if the part is still sounding...crossfading or even just ducking the volume for a sec to smooth over patch transitions would be nice. I can do this from Max but having the Virus handle it would be better. These are minor complaints: I finally got my Virus B only this past Wednesday, and I'm very impressed with it. It sounds gorgeous, it's surprisingly versatile, and the design is very smart. It's a shame you guys aren't getting nearly the attention you deserve, Christoph, because the Virus is the one to beat. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com >Both the clicks and the MIDI glitches are erratic and seem to appear only when the Virus is receiving notes on several channels at once. has anyone considered that clicks while a patch is playing could be clipping on the output DAC? The same with the vocoder clicks ... if the input ADC is clipping, it's possible that the output will clip too. If you crank up the patch volume to 127 and play a chord using a highly-resonant patch will clip every time... (I actually appreciate this level of control!) -zshas anyone considered that clicks while a patch is playing could be clipping on the output DAC? Yes, I've considered it. My Wavestation will sometimes (digitally) distort if the output level is too high. I haven't had time to track down the source of the clicks but certainly clipping is a possibility. I'd think it would be more regular than it is, though. Doesn't explain the MIDI glitches either, but that could still be things outside the Virus. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com So does anyone know if the virus b/kb has made it to Australia yet, and any shops in Sydney where I can give it a go, any idea about street price.

While researching the Virus to see if it would do what I needed I read every single thing I could get my hands on, including all of the manual releases and a lot of the archives here. What I want to know is, what's that "---" setting for? It just turns them off...I guess that's the "Pokemon" setting to avoid inducing seizures in the highly suggestible. Some experimentation indicates that my clicks were probably just caused by note stealing - I couldn't quite reproduce what was happening before, but I did find that the releases of some notes in the sequence were overlapping the new note-ons, and with twin mode, chords, etc., it was just enough to cause voices to switch rapidly, resulting in slight clicking. So the Virus is not at fault. By the way, I like the fact that the patches credit the person responsible for programming them. That's pretty classy. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Seeing the Virus TDM news at the Access site today.

I am not very fond of softsequencers and use the RM1x to sequence the tracks on the Virus. What my question amounts to is: Is there a way the RM1x or another program can be used to update the Virus' OS and sounds from the MIDI files downloaded of the Access-Music homepage? Why I ask so is that I don't want alot of clutter filewise and registry-wise on my PC. If the RM1x can update the Virus via loading the MIDI files and playing them to the Virus B, so much the better. If not, does anyone on this list have any experience with a smaller, less overwhelming (and unnecessary to me) software that can do the job of sending the MIDI files to the Virus B to update it without any difficulties. I used to use a DOS based program called MDF4 that worked great for my Bulk Dumps of pattern, etc. data from my RY20 drum machine but seem to have lost the program in the meantime. Do any other small proggies out there do the basic update function for the OS and sounds of the Virus? Nothing major. I can continue using the demo of Cubase VST for updates. I just really would prefer a simpler method. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The first is called FretlisM, and mostly works fine, except for an occasional click which seems to occur near the middle range. Very unpredictable though, so you might be hard pushed to get it to do it. The second sound is called Theramin (whoops, just noticed the spelling mistake), and you should have no problem getting this to click if you hold down a high note for a couple of seconds, and then play a note an octave or two lower, whilst still holding the first. You should hear a click at the start of the second note.

Zzound's price for Virus b is $1239. The rebate is $123.90 (minus $3 for BizRate handling) gives the net price for a Virus b at $1118.10. There is no shipping charge currently and no taxes. Don't work for either company, but you did ask. This is what I just did a few days ago. Haven't gotten the 'b' yet.

Hey, I can dream; can't I? --JBytesGood news all round I'd say! I am involved im am organisation called The St.David's Ambience Society (AKA The Future Sound of Exeter). We are dead chuffed to be promoting Gong at the Phoenix Art Centre here in Exeter on the 27th of April as part of the European tour that Howard mentions. We put on lots of gigs featuring both local and national (and now international?!) artists in the general vein of electronic, experimental and ambient music. We've had Banco de Gaia, Ozric Tentacles, Solar Quest, Global and Another Green World in the past year - each supported by quality locally based musicians. Check out our web site (URL below) for more details. www.exeternet.freeserve.co.uk/ambience.htm So I guess I'm going to get to meet you, Howard, as well as seeing a show by Gong - the seminal space rock/jazz band from the early 70s. If you don't know them, check them out. Current trance and techno have inherrited a surprising large quantity of their ancestral genes from Gong. Lots of Eastern scales spacey Moog filter sweeps and VCS3 space bubbles! No banging bass drums though:) Steve >I've just joined my all-time favorite psychedelic rock band, "Gong".

Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.comI got a quick question. I use Sounddiver, but i reinstalled my computer, and now all of a sudden Sounddiver can't load my virus anymore. It says it doesn't have an editor for it yet, pretty wacky. i forgot if it might be something i installed later, after downloading from the web. anyone remember ? john machielsen Some of the older versions of sounddiver do not have the virus definition. I'm using Version 2.1, which just became available this week on the emagic site. It definitely has the working editor in it, as well as updated definitions for other synths.

Do i have to set something in the input mode (like dynamic or static)?am i supposed to be in multi or single or multi single mode? it would be great if somebody could get me up to speed on a basic setup and maybe some basic settings. i have been trying this for some time and i can't get it to work for the life of me! thanks in advance, KAYThat's why they still have them!
