Dump - The Sound in the Song
takes quite some time. Alternatively, you
can also send just individual sounds,
MULTIs or so-called ”arrangements”.
The other truly reliable option for
archiving sounds is dumping an arrange-
ment (MIDI DUMP TX: Arrangement). In
this case, the current MULTI is transmit-
ted. Since a MULTI contains the
addresses of SINGLE sounds used in the
arrangement rather than the actual SIN-
GLEs, the sounds of all active PARTs are
sent separately (for more info on this,
see the section on MULTIMODE). This
option is convenient and fast, but has an
inherent drawback: this type of arrange-
ment dump does not take into account
that your song uses program change
messages to change sounds in the
MULTI. Only the eight sounds to which
the MULTI refers in the arrangement are
sent, which is to be expected when you
consider that the Virus can’t anticipate
that you intend to change these at some
point during playback.
Dumping an arrangement is a great
option when you’re able to make do
with the sixteen sounds to which the
MULTI refers. If you want to or are com-
pelled to change sounds, you should
record the entire memory content to the
sequencer. Sending individual MULTIs for
the purpose of archiving sounds is point-
less because they don’t contain the
actual sounds. Sending individual
sounds, in turn, is only a viable proposi-
tion if you are operating the Virus in SIN-
GLE mode and have opted not to use
program change messages in the song.
.
Proceed with extreme caution when
you’re working with SysEx data! If you
send anything other than individual SIN-
GLE sounds or individual MULTIs from
the sequencer to the Virus, the CORRE-
SPONDING DATA IN THE VIRUS WILL BE
IRREVOCABLY OVERWRITTEN! So before
you dump, for example, a bank to the
Virus, you should make a backup of the
user banks stored in the Virus (the RAM
banks) by dumping them to the
sequencer, provided of course that you
care to preserve the sounds that they
contain. Incidentally, it can’t hurt to reg-
ularly dump all data stored in the Virus
for backup purposes.
You’ll find a summary of all dump
options and an explanation of these in
the comprehensive overview of parame-
ters, specifically, under the global param-
eters.
