218 CHAPTER 22
The Virus and Sequencers
defeat the purpose of effects gen-
erated by a step sequencer’s con-
troller messages as well as gater
effects that you programmed in
your sequencer.
You can adjust Adaptive Parameter
Smoothing via a function called
Control Smooth mode (in the EDIT
menu; COMMON: SmoothMode)
to accommodate different sonic
situations:
OFF Adaptive Control Smoothing
(parameter smoothing) is disabled.
Application: Parameter jumps are
carried out without glitches. This
option is ideal when you want to
create gating and similar effects
(e.g. via a step sequencer) where
parameter values change abruptly.
Side effect: Continuous parame-
ter changes – be it movements
controlled via automated knobs or
via MIDI - are incremental, which
means you’ll have to take zipper
noise into account.
ON Adaptive Control Smoothing
is enabled.
Application: Parameter changes
are carried out continuously and
smoothly.
Side effect: Parameter jumps are
also carried out continuously,
meaning that glitches may be gen-
erated inadvertently.
AUTO Adaptive Control Smooth-
ing analyzes the nature of incom-
ing parameter changes and carries
these out continuously or abruptly,
as the case may be.
Application: Both continuous as
well as sudden parameter changes
may be implemented in the same
sound.
Side effect: This analysis of radi-
cal parameter changes can’t cope
with jumps that occur in rapid suc-
cession.
NOTE Adaptive Control Smooth-
ing works continuously, but jumps
when a new note is played.
Application: Both continuous as
well as sudden parameter changes
may be implemented, whereby the
jumps are always inserted at the
beginning of a new note. Conse-
quently, this option is well-suited
when you want to control sounds
via a step sequencer.
