Cheese for Starters?
If your Virus TI is a desktop model, you should have a MIDI key-
board connected...
The most effective way of getting to know your Virus is by per-
forming very simple exercises “hands-on”, and that’s why
many of the sounds you will be asked to make are cheesy to
say the least! Despite the risk of compromising your aesthetic
sensibilities or overstating the obvious, I hope you will appreci-
ate the advantages of this method.
Throughout this chapter you will often be asked to “Restore
ROM-A126” or “Restore ROM-A127”. To do this, press the
ÛEXIT button (closes any open menu), then use the VALUE
buttons to step to the neighbouring program then back again.
Make sure you are in SINGLE mode, then select program
ROM-A127 (i.e. Bank ROM-A, program number 127). Play a
note on your keyboard. Like an organ, the sound starts
abruptly, sustains as long as you hold down the key, then
stops abruptly. Unlike an organ, you can change this behaviour
by adjusting a few “envelope” parameters...
