PRIORITY
This parameter lets you control how the Vi-
rus“steals notes when its polyphonic perform-
ance is maxed out. In the first position, "LOW",
the voices of all PARTs have the same priority
when one voice is switched off to accommo-
date a new voice. When you set the Priority of a
PART to "High", the Virus will not “steal” any
notes from the voices of this PART. Use this pa-
rameter sparingly. In other words, if you set all
Parts to High, you’re defeating the purpose of
this parameter. In this case, it wouldn’t have any
effect since the priority of all voices is the same.

THE OPERATING SYSTEM
(OS)
THE 1024 SOUNDS UPDATE
The Virus operating system consists of two
parts. They can be loaded (or "burned") into the
Virus separately.
The first part includes the operating system it-
self, while the second part carries the 256 ROM
sounds (Bank C and D) as well as the dem-
osong.
That second part can be replaced by a sound
expansion, so that finally 768 ROM sounds are
available. The demosong is overwritten by this
procedure. But you wouldn't need it anymore,
we guess. The file with the additional sounds
can be found on the CD included, with the file
name "SECONDxxx.MID".
You can load this file similar to a operating sys-
tem update (see below).
There is no risk to damage the Virus by wrong
or corrupted data. The Virus will simply not ac-
cept those data.
