Audio I/O - Access Virus TI Série Guide De Démarrage Rapide

16 QUICKSTART MANUAL
• MIDI
For those of you who simply cannot wait even a couple of minutes to hear your new baby make its first
sounds (don't worry - we sympathise completely), then you can simply connect the out port of any MIDI
compatible keyboard to the IN port of the Virus TI and start playing.

Audio I/O

• Outputs
If you're scratching your head at this point and wondering why you aren't hearing anything, that's because
the Virus TI does not come with built-in speakers. If you wish to hear all the wonderful noises you are mak-
ing, then you need to connect OUTPUT 1 LEFT and RIGHT to the inputs of a stereo amplification system
(preferably via a mixer), or a pair of headphones to the HEADPHONE socket. Please lower the MASTER
VOLUME (upper-leftmost knob) before you play anything, especially through headphones, as we really don't
want you to break your ears before you've even started.
If you have your Virus connected to a mixing desk, it is probably best to leave Master Volume at maximum
(127), and adjust the levels on your mixer to suit. This will give you the best signal-to-noise ratio.
Please note, that Master Volume will not have any effect when you are using the USB outs in Virus Control.
• Inputs
Connect your external audio equipment to input left/right if you wish to route it through the Virus TI.
With these inputs you can use the Virus as a sound card for your computer, or you can use them to do all
sorts of naughty things to your other equipment by running it through the Virus' filters and effects.
If you want the audio to pass straight through the Virus to the audio outputs, then simply adjust the Input
Thru parameter in the CONFIG menu to the desired level.
Now you have installed the Virus TI on your computer and connected it to your equipment, you can start to
explore the full potential of your new favourite synthesizer.
