CLOCK TEMPO The Virus is equipped
with a global clock generator that lets
you sync LFOs, arpeggiators and delay
effects up to a common song tempo and
rhythm. The clock generator works
either internally with a freely variable
speed or it can in turn by synced up to
the MIDI clock of an external sequencer.
This synchronization occurs automati-
cally 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 accepts
the speed dictated by the connected
sequencer; 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. (ARPEG-
GIATOR 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 PROGRAMs are ignored. Instead,
all involved SINGLE PROGRAMs are con-
trolled via the same clock generator. Its
CLOCK TEMPO is saved in the MULTI
PROGRAM (as are the settings of the glo-
bal delay effect). This feature lets you
control the LFOs and arpeggiators of sev-
eral 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.
