129 SOUND PARAMETERS REFERENCE
Tempo
Accessible via SHIFT + RELEASE in the AMPLIFIER ENVELOPE
section.
> 63 bpm to 190 bpm: The Virus has an internal clock to which
the LFOs, arpeggiator and delay/reverb can be synchronized
(see the respective sections). The clock automatically slaves
to any received MIDI clock signal, otherwise it adopts this
value. See “MIDI Clock” on page 153.
Patch Volume
> 0 to 127: Overall volume of a program, particularly useful for
balancing levels between different programs (or Parts when in
Multi or Sequencer modes). Note that you may have to keep
this value well below 127 to avoid unwanted distortion, espe-
cially when playing many notes at the same time – 100 is a
good starting point. Patch Volume reacts to MIDI CC#7
(Channel Volume) as well as CC#11 (Expression). Modulation
destination “Patch Volume“.
Panorama
> -64 to +63: The position of the signal across the stereo out-
puts. Reacts to MIDI CC#10 (Panorama). Modulation destina-
tion “Panorama“.
Transpose
> -64 to +63 semitones: Transposes the pitch of the entire pro-
gram in semitones. Modulation destination “Transpose“.
Smooth Mode
Right from the very beginning, Access have been applying a
technique called “Adaptive Control Smoothing” (ACS) in all their
synthesizer models, thus avoiding the zipper noise that rapid
changes (knob movements, modulation) would otherwise
cause.
>Off: Smoothing is disabled. Pros: Value jumps are immediate,
with no glitches. Useful for gater-effects etc. when using a
sequencer. Cons: Continuous control changes are incremen-
tal, meaning you may have to accept some zipper noise.
