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 automatically 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 synchro-
nized via MIDI clock, the clock generator automatically accepts the speed dictated by the con-
nected 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. (ARPEGGIATOR 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 SINGLE 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.
