DUMP: The Sound in the Song
Archiving all of the sounds used in a song is not only a good idea to prevent potential problems that may occur when parameters are controlled in real time. It also makes it easy for you to recall your work at some later point. Assuming that you’ve connected the MIDI Out of the Virus with a MIDI In of the computer, you can, for example, at any time send an individual sound or the content of the
entire memory via MIDI in the form of something called a bulk dump to the sequencer and record this data there. This has an distinct advantage: all sound data can be stored together with the song and the status of the Virus required for this song can be restored at any time by simply sending the recorded data to the device. You’ll find the menu for SysEx dumps by going to the CONFIG menu
and then MIDI DUMP TX.
When you opt to record a bulk dump to a sequencer, you can proceed in the same manner as you would when you record tracks consisting of notes. For example, you can move a bulk dump to any position in the arrangement. To assure that the Virus plays the song back using the right sounds, we recommend that you position stored data prior to the song. Move all components of the actual song back so that you’re left with enough room to accommodate the dump prior to th e song’s start position.
Then when you start the sequencer on the first bar, sound-related data is sent to the Virus before the actual song begins. An individual sound dump is very short; a dump comprising a complete memory bank will extend over several bars. During a bulk dump, the Virus sends MIDI SysEx data to the computer. If you encounter problems while recording a bulk dump, please check if your sequencer refuses to accept SysEx data due to one-sided filtering. You can check whether or not anything was recorded by taking a look at the Event or List editor of your sequencer. In this editor, MIDI data is displayed numerically instead of graphically; in a normal Note editor (Key Edit, Matrix Edit or the like) SysEx data is NOT visible.
Once you’ve successfully recorded a dump, look for entries in the list that are labeled ”SysEx”. The Virus And Sequencers The Virus lets you to send the entire memory content or just parts thereof to the sequencer. The most reliable solution is to transfer the entire memory (MIDI DUMP RX: Total). There is, however, a catch: Since a great deal of data is being transmitted (”Total”, after all, means all SINGLE programs, all MULTIs, and so forth), the dump is very extensive and 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 arrangement (MIDI DUMP RX: Arrangement). In this case, the current MULTI is transmitted. Since a MULTI contains the addresses of SINGLE sounds used in the arrangement rather than the actual SINGLEs, 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 arrangement 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 compelled to change sounds, you should record the entire memory content to the sequencer. Sending individual MULTIs for the purpose of archiving sounds is pointless because they don’t contain the actual sounds. Sending individual sounds, in
turn, is only a viable proposition if you are operating the Virus in SINGLE mode and have opted not to use program change messages in the song.
вообще хотел спросить, можно ли сделать так, чтобы в каждом проекте созранялся именно текущий пресет с синта, чтобы если его потом открыть, можно было доработать? или сразу рендерить ?
