Tips, tricks and other Words of Wisdom
Instead, you are free to select one
of the possible controllers as an
ASSIGN source (e.g. the modulation
wheel or Controller #12). All
you have to do is enter this controller
as the parameter for the DEFIN-
ABLE knob. This configuration is
identical to that of a conventional
parameter that has a dedicated
controller number and knob. The
knob movements are sent to the
selected MIDI Out via the selected
controller and on to the sequencer
where they can be recorded and
sent back to the Virus. Reasonably
enough, you should set the controller
number for the DEFINABLE
knob under DEFINABLE Single
because this setting (like the
ASSIGN settings) is stored with the
SINGLE program and doesn’t apply
to all SINGLEs (as is the case with
the DEFINABLE Global setting).
ARPEGGIATOR
In AsPlayed mode, notes are played
in the same sequence in which the
Arpeggiator receives them. As a
rule, the Arpeggiator is able to
store up to 16 notes. At first glance,
it wouldn’t seem possible to play a
pattern in which several notes
have the same pitch. To do this,
you would have to release a key
before you can play it again, and
when you release a key, the corresponding
note is deleted from the
Arpeggiator pattern. You can circumvent
this problem by pressing
a sustain or hold pedal that is connected
to your keyboard while you
enter notes to the Arpeggiator.
These will be held for as long as
you hold the sustain pedal down.
