CHAPTER

Master Clock and Midi-Clock

The Virus is equipped with a global 
clock generator that lets you sync 
the LFOs, arpeggiators and delay 
up to a common song tempo and 
rhythm. The clock generator works 
either internally with a freely vari-
able speed or it can, in turn, by 
synced up to the MIDI clock of an 
external sequencer. This synchroni-
zation occurs automatically when 
the device receives a MIDI clock 
signal via its MIDI In. You can vary 
the speed of the clock generator 
within a range of 63 to 190 BPM 
(beats per minute) via CLOCK 
TEMPO. When the device is syn-
chronized via MIDI clock, the clock 
generator automatically accepts 
the speed dictated by the con-
nected sequencer; the internal 
tempo setting is in this case mean-
ingless and thus disabled. The indi-
vidual sections of the Virus are 
synced up to the clock generator at 
rhythmic intervals such as 1/16, 1/4 
and so forth. These values may be 
assigned individually for every sec-
tion. (ARPEGGIATOR CLOCK, CLOCK 

LFO 1, CLOCK LFO 2, CLOCK LFO 3, 
DELAY CLOCK, see the respective 
sections).

In SINGLE MODE, CLOCK TEMPO 
pertains to the current SINGLE 
PROGRAM and is stored along with 
it. In MULTI MODE, the CLOCK 
TEMPO settings for the involved 
SINGLE PROGRAMs are ignored. 
Instead, all involved SINGLE PRO-
GRAMs are controlled via the same 
clock generator. Its  CLOCK TEMPO 
is saved in the MULTI PROGRAM (as 
are the settings for the global 
delay effect).
