process other VSTi trough Virus Snow Effects (plugin)

  • Yes, it is possible. The prerequisite is that you should use the Virus Control in 3 out / 1 in mode. The manipulation of the sound is done by passing it through one (and not more than one) of the 4 parts available in the Snow. You do that by enabling the input module (FX1 page). You'll probably want it in continuous mode so you don't have to play any notes in order to hear anything, and then go on to apply whatever FX you want. Apart from that you send the source sound to Virus Control much the same way you would send audio to a plugin for side chaining: select the Virus Control track as destination, and one selection box below it make sure it reaches the correct inputs of the Virus Control plugin itself.
    A few notes:
    - Sometimes it works better if you first send and play the source and then build the patch while it is playing.
    - If you have a stereo source and you want to keep it that way throughout the Virus's audio engine, set the unison to twin.
    Hope this helps.
