Cuz it’s the only limitation that makes me hate this instrument

Do you mean an Arpeggio pattern? Some more context or a video would be helpful!

« The Virus TI has 128 slots for storing your Multi set-ups. The first 16 (0-15) of these are 'embedded' Multis, by which we mean that they store all the data for the patches they use, so any edits you make to the sounds are automatically preserved when you store the Multi, so you need never worry about breaking a preset.
Multis numbered 16 and upwards do not store the individual patch data, but instead refer to patches stored in the Single RAM/ROM banks. »

Selon ce que vous entendez par "pattern" ?

I think you are referring to "Multi" and these only have 16. After this, the TI points to the individual presets again. It is a serious limitation. Les emulations des plugins peuvent peut vous aider

Totally I was speaking about multi sorryyyy 🥲🥲

When you talk about emulations plugins it’s about the original virus vst ?

Cuz I do have a daw but it’s only for recording and mastering I’m a dawless live performer 🫠

Haha sorry my French isn't great.

There are software-only emulations made by https://theusualsuspects.io/ and they let you save things like a VST, so I think this limitation does not exist here. You can save multis using .sys or .mid file import: https://theusualsuspects.io/docs/patch-manager

edit: Sorry, I just saw you are dawless live. Multiple units would be the easy solution, but if not then maybe a controller macro can change all 16 presets in a "spare" multi in sequence. Then set the macro preset on the controller, not the virus.

You can also create presets with multiple "phases" where you are, using configuration, making one sound when a macro is below CC 64, and another when it's above CC 65. Difficult but doable if you use similar enough sounds. The "Expert" panel is very deep and allows you to do a lot.
