Instead, you are free to select one 
of the possible controllers as an 
ASSIGN source (e.g. the modula-
tion wheel or Controller #12). All 
you have to do is enter this control-
ler as the parameter for the DEFIN-
ABLE knob. This configuration is 
identical to that of a conventional 
parameter that has a dedicated 
controller number and knob. The 
knob movements are sent to the 
selected MIDI Out via the selected 
controller and on to the sequencer 
where they can be recorded and 
sent back to the Virus. Reasonably 
enough, you should set the con-
troller number for the DEFINABLE 
knob under DEFINABLE Single 
because this setting (like the 
ASSIGN settings) is stored with the 
SINGLE program and doesn’t apply 
to all SINGLEs (as is the case with 
the DEFINABLE Global setting).

In AsPlayed mode, notes are played 
in the same sequence in which the 
Arpeggiator receives them. As a 
rule, the Arpeggiator is able to 
store up to 16 notes. At first glance, 
it wouldn’t seem possible to play a 
pattern in which several notes 
have the same pitch. To do this, 
you would have to release a key 
before you can play it again, and 
when you release a key, the corre-
sponding note is deleted from the 
Arpeggiator pattern. You can cir-
cumvent this problem by pressing 
a sustain or hold pedal that is con-
nected to your keyboard while you 
enter notes to the Arpeggiator. 
These will be held for as long as 
you hold the sustain pedal down.
