Within the CTRL-Menu

The Virus is equipped with two 
knobs that, rather than being dedi-
cated to predefined tasks, may be 
assigned to different parameters 
by you, the user. This option is 
quite handy, for it lets you control 
directly the many menu parame-
ters that do not feature a dedi-
cated knob.

These DEFINABLE knobs operate in 
three different modes:

 

 GLOBAL    The knob controls the 

parameter that you have set to 
Global in the DEFINABLE menu 
regardless of what the other set-
tings and the selected SINGLE pro-
gram may be.

 

 SINGLE    The knob controls the 

parameter that you have set to 
Single in the DEFINABLE menu. The 
setting for this parameter is stored 
in the SINGLE program and called 
up whenever you select this pro-

gram. If, however, you have not 
selected a parameter for this pro-
gram (DEFINABLE Single = OFF), 
the setting for DEFINABLE Global is 
automatically enabled.

 

MIDICONTRL    Here the control-

ler number entered in the DEFIN-
ABLE MIDI menu is sent regardless 
of what the other settings and the 
selected SINGLE program may be. 
Comparable to a small MIDI fader 
box, this mode is used to control 
connected MIDI devices. Note that 
this information is not processed 
internally in the Virus.

The setting for the actual DEFIN-
ABLE mode is global. Under normal 
circumstances, you should set 
DEFINABLE mode to ”Single” 
because this is the most versatile 
mode. When you select a SINGLE 
sound whose DEFINABLE mode is 
set to ”Single”,  this setting is of 
course enabled. If not, Global 
DEFINABLE mode is enabled.
