CLOCK TEMPO

The Virus is equipped with a global clock gener-
ator that lets you sync LFOs, arpeggiators and
delay effects up to a common song tempo and
rhythm. The clock generator works either inter-
nally with a freely variable speed or it can in turn
by synced up to the MIDI clock of an external
sequencer. This synchronization occurs auto-
matically when the device receives a MIDI clock
signal via its MIDI In. You can vary the speed of
the clock generator within a range of 63 to 190
BPM (beats per minute) via CLOCK TEMPO.
When the device is synchronized via MIDI
clock, the clock generator automatically ac-
cepts the speed dictated by the connected se-
quencer; the internal tempo is invalid. The
individual sections of the Virus are synced up to
the clock generator at rhythmic intervals such
as 1/16, 1/4 and so forth. These values may be
assigned individually for every section. (AR-
PEGGIATOR CLOCK, CLOCK LFO 1, CLOCK
LFO 2, CLOCK LFO 3, DELAY CLOCK, see the
respective sections).

In SINGLE MODE, CLOCK TEMPO pertains to
the current SINGLE PROGRAM and is stored
along with it. In MULTI MODE, the CLOCK
TEMPO settings for the involved SINGLE PRO-
GRAMs are ignored. Instead, all involved SIN-
GLE PROGRAMs are controlled via the same
clock generator. Its CLOCK TEMPO is saved in
the MULTI PROGRAM (as are the settings of the
global delay effect). This feature lets you control
the LFOs and arpeggiators of several MULTI
PARTS in a common rhythmic context.
A small "c"will appear in the display when the
Virus is receiving MIDI Clock data.
If you're sure you do NOT want the device to be
synchronized automatically to MIDI clock, set
MIDI CLOCK RX to Off (in the CTRL menu).

To avoid confusion, please keep in mind that
MIDI Clock is not the same thing as MIDI Time
Code. The latter doesn't deal with tempo at all
but with time-related information structured in
hours, minutes, seconds, etc. which is of no
benefit to you in this context.

PATCH VOLUME
Storable master volume for the SINGLE pro-
gram. Its nominal value is set to 100 so that you
have a reserve of 27 volume increments when
you are dealing with exceptionally low-level
sound settings. In addition to using PATCH
VOLUME, you can also control the level via
MIDI using the controllers #7 (Channel Volume)
and #11 (Expression). However, these are not
stored with the SINGLE program.. In MULTI
