The Master Section
If you have carried out all the little experiments in this chapter
so far, you should be quite familiar with how the
ÛEXIT, SHIFT,
PARAMETERS/BANK and VALUE/PROGRAM buttons work in
SINGLE mode. Which leaves us with the following:
TAP
Use this button to change the Clock rate “by
ear”. Select the program ROM-A9 (“Boingy HS”)
and activate the HOLD function (SHIFT + ARP
ON). Play some notes on your keyboard, then try
tapping the TAP button slower than the current
BPM – the arpeggio will be slowed down.
MULTI EDIT
Via SHIFT + EDIT. This is only used in Multi mode
– see “Multi Mode Reference” on page 165.
CONFIG
Press this button for access to many global parameters which
govern how the entire Virus works – see the chapter “Configu-
ration Reference” on page 151.
STORE
1st press: Set the location (Bank, Patch Number) of the pro-
gram you wish to overwrite. Press UNDO to compare with the
original sound at this location.
2nd press: Use the PARAMETERS buttons and any VALUE
knob/button to change the name.
3rd press: Finally, store the program.
REMOTE
Via SHIFT + CONFIG. This instantly turns your unit into a MIDI
controller box, including presets for a wide variety of popular
devices and the capability of creating your own (see “Virus-
Control” on page 145).
If you only see a message here, your Virus TI has a very early
version of the operating sytem. Go to www.access-music.de
for operating system updates and additional Remote Tem-
plates – as well as many other useful downloads!
RANDOM
Via SHIFT + STORE. Randomizes the current program to cre-
ate a new sound – the CONFIG menu contains parameters
which determine just how “random” the results will be. Start
