Seems like normal operation to me: In the initial position of all controls, Grain Complex doesn't do any changes to the wave and therefore sounds identical to the plain Wavetable oscillator. Grain Complex is similar to the Bend modes in NI Massive.

BTW, two tricks I tried and which seem to work quite well:

1. Using a Random glide (S&G) LFO with a rate between 90 and 120 on the wave select index of a wavetable oscillator yields a result which sounds a bit like a grain cloud. (ex. sound "PD Air 18")

2. Using a classic wave LFO with a medium high rate on the wave select index of a wavetable oscillator yields a much rougher sound... as if the wave catched a cold (ex. sound "PD Air 19")

Every now and then, I fear we still have only scratched the surface of what sounds the Virus can achieve.

Would be interesting to know what the ingredients of the sound are. I heard a couple more examples on Youtube and it did sound a bit different in every one.

Anyway, I did some more experimenting and came up with 4 more presets. Didn't try to copy the sound exactly but instead to capture the vibe of those typical airy, glassy pad sounds. Especially 17 and 18 scream "D50 / Wavestation", IMO.

Enjoy.

It's pretty hard to do without hearing the sound all by itself played as a single note.

Just for fun, and a little exercise in sound design, I did a couple of pads that are somewhat in that direction. However, I wasn't able to achieve the same "hollowness" and "breath". Mostly it's a detuned Hypersaw with Sub (Hypersquare) plus a wavetable with a bell like sound, some noise and lots of reverb.

Maybe these presets can get you started in the right direction.

Have fun, and let me know how it works out.

Edit: New version of presets.

PS: Listening to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvyPiUEabvw# (which I should have done before I started...) would indicate that the pure Afterthought sound is actually only a bell and should be rather well to achieve using one of the the "Sundial" wave tables.

Most probably you only need to change the Mono Mode from 3 or 4 to 1 or 2.

Check the manual under Oscillators > Common > Key Mode. There's a table explaining the differences of the four mono modes.

I currently work with a Desktop and a Darkstar (Polar) and can affirm that they are identical except for the keyboard, pitch wheel, controller wheel and the configuration menus for those elements.

Actually, I prepare Multis on the Darkstar and then transfer them to the Desktop. All the settings for parts (channel, key zones, etc) are available on both machines.

However, I had the Desktop first and heavily missed the capability to use it without anything else hooked up. Thus, I'd rather have a keyboard version if I only could have one.

cool! thanks for sharing.

Set up a MIDI track in your DAW to receive input from your controller keyboard, and send out data to the Virus.
How that's done is very much depending on your DAW.

You can use it just like it was a VST. Just configure your track that you'd send to a MIDI channel of Virus Control to receive MIDI input from your Virus via USB.

If you want to record the sound of your Virus by playing it live, then you don't need any extra cables.
If you want your sequencer (or any other controller) to trigger notes on your Virus, you need MIDI cables from your sequencer/controller to your Virus.
If you want your DAW to play notes on your Virus, you should also be able to use a USB cable to send MIDI notes to your Virus.

Export as Type 0, and make sure you use the file extension ".mid" (not ".midi" as proposed by Cubase).

That worked for me.

Virus Control plugin:

FX 1 > Input > Input Menu

On the hardware it should be in the Common section:

Common > Inputs > Input Select

S/PDIF is a digital connection. The digital signal goes unchanged from your Virus into your soundcard, to the computer, into your DAW and to the audio file. So there's no need for D/A (in the synth) and A/D (in the soundcard) conversion, and therefore no loss will occur.

For best results you have to make sure all your components use the same sample rate.

Excellent read! Thank you very much for writing this all down. Nice stab at Massive's Performers, and I'd go for a 1k polyphony.

With the mentioned feature set, and full backward compatibility, such an instrument would be worth between 5k€ and 8k€ to me.

What is the "Input Select" setting in the patch you're using? It sounds as if the setting is Left or Right instead of L+R.

Isn't that the same problem you had before with your Snow?

Virus TI Snow freezing my computer

Couple of things to consider (if you haven't already):

• How is your controller keyboard connected? USB or MIDI?
• If connected via USB to the computer: Is the routing in your DAW or MIDI routing application correct?
• If connected via MIDI: What are the global MIDI channel settings on the controller and on your Virus
• Also, if you connect via MIDI, is your Virus still attached to USB? If yes, try unplug the USB cable
• Is the Virus in Single or Multi Mode? If Multi-Mode, there are settings of each part that impact how it reacts to incoming MIDI notes

Does it also freeze when not connected via USB?

Thank you very much for your kind words. It's a great pleasure to know that some of my contributions were helpful to some of you.

However, I'm a bit embarrassed that I'm mentioned so prominently. If it wasn't for the many phantastic forum members who were actively offering great help and share knowledge many years before I even knew about the Virus, I wouldn't be where I am today.

In fact, every one of you has already helped me in some way, and if only by putting up a question. Because questions make you think and thinking leads to new ideas, eventually.

So, this should actually be A big Thank You to everyone who actively contributed and contributes to this forum!

please can anyone help,,, solve this problem

If you start a new thread, with a proper title, and do a full description of your problem and of your setup, then maybe somebody is able to actually help you. Until now, you haven't given a lot of information, except that you have a lot of other gear, bought a Snow two years ago, hear audible clipping, have updated your OS and are unhappy.

There's no clue how your setup is, what computer platform you're working in, what DAW you're using.
