Tap Tempo / Panic Button; Preset Sounds - Access Virus TI Serie Manual De Inicio Rápido

20 QUICKSTART MANUAL

Tap Tempo / Panic Button

• Tap Tempo
Tap this button repeatedly to set the tempo. This will set the rate of the clock to which any 'clocked' param-
eters will sync, for instance the LFOs (in clock mode), the Arpeggiator, the Delay (clock mode) etc. Please
bear in mind that only one global tempo can be set when working in Multi mode. Alternatively, you can find
Tempo in the COMMON edit menu, should you wish to choose a more precise tempo.
• Panic (OSC MONO + OSC SYNC)
Hit this combo to kill any hanging notes, which can be caused by incoming MIDI errors, such as when your
sequencer decides to crash, for instance.

Preset Sounds

• RAM/ROM?
The Virus TI contains 4 banks of RAM, followed by 26 banks of ROM for storing sounds or 'patches',
with each bank containing 128 sounds. 'RAM' stands for 'Random Access Memory', which means any of
these locations can be overwritten with your own patches, whenever you like. 'ROM' stands for 'Read Only
Memory', meaning these locations are permanent, and you cannot store your edited patches here normally.
It is possible to flash a ROM bank with a customised bank using Virus Control Center however, which is ex-
plained in detail later in this guide.
The RAM banks of the Virus TI contain a showcase of sounds selected from the ROM banks, so you needn't
worry about replacing any of them. Should you wish to restore them to their original state at any time, we
have saved them as libraries in the Patches folder, which you can access with the Browser in Virus Control
(for further details, please refer to the Virus Control chapter in the user manual).
• Selecting Single Presets
To select a particular RAM/ROM bank, use the PARAMETERS (BANK) < > buttons to the bottom right of the
display. The banks are ordered RAM A-D, followed by ROM A-Z.
To scroll through the patches within a bank, use the VALUE (PROGRAM) +/- buttons located near the bot-
tom right of the display. To jump to the middle of a bank (patch 64), press both buttons together.
• Selecting Multi Presets
Since there is only one bank of 128 Multis, it is not necessary to select a Bank first; apart from this the pro-
cedure is exactly the same as in Single mode.
