Virus Control vs MIDI?
There are three main ways you can work with the Virus TI Snow:
· As we've already mentioned, you can simply plug a MIDI controller keyboard into the MIDI IN port and start
playing.
· You can use a software sequencer host to route up to 4 different channels of MIDI to the Virus TI Snow. All
you need to do is select the appropriate MIDI port in your host, which is labelled "Virus TI Synth", and put
the Virus into Sequencer Mode. Program changes can be made as normal on the Virus itself, or via your
sequencer.
· You can enjoy Total Integration between your compatible sequencer host and the Virus TI Snow by using
Virus Control.
What Is Total Integration?
Just like it's cousins in the "TI" range, the Virus TI Snow comes bundled with the Virus Control software - the
hub of the Total Integration concept. Virus Control allows the TI Snow to appear as a multi-channel VST/Au-
dio Unit/RTAS plugin, streaming audio and MIDI data discreetly over USB in 3 stereo channels, with sample-
accurate timing and delay-compensation. Every parameter of the Virus TI synth engine is represented in the
graphical user interface, with automation of all relevant parameters possible within suitable host software.
The Browser page allows comprehensive patch library management, including a powerful search tool, and
total recall of all your settings means the Virus TI Snow will always be exactly as you last saved it with each
project.
For detailed information on how to use Virus Control, please refer to the relevant section in the Virus Control
tutorials, which can be accessed directly by clicking on the '?' button in Virus Control itself, along with sev-
eral other useful resources.
