‘Virus TI’ represents the RAM and ROM banks in the TI itself -
since VirusControl always checks for any altered RAM patches
at startup, you can be sure that RAM A-D will always reflect the
exact status of the equivalent banks in the hardware.
‘Categories’ allows you to browse for patches by their assigned
categories - just move the mouse pointer over a particular cate-
gory and select one of the pages available.
‘Personal Libraries’ contains all of the banks you have collected
in your Patches folder*. Any names with a little arrow to the right
of them represent a sub-folder containing more libraries - hover
the mouse over one of these to display another drop-down list.
*If you wish, you could easily download every Virus Patch ever
published on the Access site, drop them into the Patches folder,
and have instant access to them all via the Browser.
Selecting patches for auditioning
Double-click on a patch in either of the libraries to assign it to
the currently active part.
Alternatively, you can drag/drop it into the patch name area in
the Part column.
To copy a patch used by one part into another, click+hold the
patch name in the original part, and drag/drop to the patch
name of the destination part.
Some hosts allow key commands to be directed to plugins – if
yours supports this function, once a patch has been selected,
you can browse the rest simply by using the arrow keys on your
computer keyboard.
Search
With the thousands of patches at your disposal, you’ll no doubt
be grateful that we included a Search function into the browser
of VirusControl. To use it, simply click in the area to the right of
the magnifying glass icon, and type in a string of letters. If you
know the patch you’re looking for, just type in the first few let-
ters and press Enter - alternatively, you could try locating all the
patches by your favourite sound-designer by typing in, say,
“BC” for instance.
