SnowED – Standalone, VST & AU Editor for Virus TI Snow

Multitimbral Midi Editor for the Virus TI Snow. Finally it’s possible to control the four parts available in Sequencer Mode simultaneously.

Non Snow users: You can use SnowED with other TI series models, but limited to the first 4 parts in Sequencer Mode.

Features:

· Librarian
Load and save individual patches in .syx and .mid format.
Load and save soundbanks in .syx and .mid format.
Load patches from ROM and RAM banks.
Write patches in RAM banks and external banks.
Create new soundbanks.
Drag&Drop patches between banks.
*Not compatible with patches from Virus A, B and C.

· DAW Automation

Every parameter of the sound engine of every part is ready to be automated.

· Total Recall

SnowED lets you edit all parameters of the Patch assigned to each Part and save the latest edit status within the application. This means that you can easily recall the latest status of the previous edit simply by opening SnowED.

· Section Locking

Lock any section of the Virus sound engine. For instance, lock Oscillator 1 and Amplitude Envelope. When loading or receiving a new patch, the locked sections will not change. Do you like the effect settings of a patch, or the arpeggiator pattern? Lock them and test any patch with those settings. Forget about random generators.

· Instructions

The zip file contains both stand-alone and VST plugin version (AU plugin for OSX also), as well as a short manual.

· What’s new

1.0.2: Added a Dump Delay parameter that allows to select the time between patch request messages when selecting a bank. If you get message “No communication with Virus TI”, try increasing the delay time.

Midi Editor for Access Virus TI OS 5.0.8

A version of Access Virus Control for those who want a midi-only standalone or vst editor. No more sync problems, pops and clicks.

It works in Single and Sequencer Mode.

Features:

· Librarian
Load and save individual patches in .syx format.
Load and save patches from/to soundbanks in .syx and .mid format.
Load ROM and RAM banks.
Create new soundbanks.
Copy and paste patches between soundbanks.

*Not compatible with patches from Virus A, B and C.

· Section Locking.

· Automation of every parameter of the sound engine

In Access Virus Control there are some parameters that can’t be automated. With this panel it’s possible to automate every parameter.

· Compatible with Virus TI Desktop, Keyboard, Polar and Snow

· Virus Setup

· EDIT CONFIG → Receive MIDI Dump -> Receive Dump: Enabled

· EDIT CONFIG → Midi 3/3 -> Program Change: Enabled

· EDIT CONFIG → MIDI Control → Page A: Controller Data

· EDIT CONFIG → MIDI Control → Page B: SysEx

Set MIDI Device ID to the same value on the panel and on the Virus (Changing this value in the panel doesn’t change the value in the Virus, as there is not a sysex message to modify this parameter).

If you are using the VST version inside a DAW, and your MIDI interface drivers are not multi-client, you will need to disable these ports in the DAW and use them exclusively for Ctrlr.

· Using the Browser
[New in version 3.3]The first time a bank is selected in the browser the panel will request the patches of this bank from the Virus, creating an index for each bank, so the next time the same bank is selected there will be no patch dumps.

To request again a bank that has been indexed, click “Sync Banks” button and select the bank.

To copy a patch, select the patch and press Copy.
To paste a patch to an external bank, press Store and select the desired slot.
To store the edit buffer in an external bank, open a bank, press Store and select the desired slot.
