> Mono 2:
Only one voice is allowed to be played at any time. Portamento is only activated
between notes that are played using a legato technique (legato technique = the first key is
only released once the next is played). Envelopes are re-triggered with each new note.
> Mono 3:
Only one voice is allowed to be played at any time. Portamento is always active.
Envelopes are only re-triggered when played in a non-legato manner (detached).
> Mono 4:
Only one voice is allowed to be played at any time. Portamento is only activated
between notes that are played using a legato technique. Envelopes are only re-triggered
when played in a non-legato manner.
> Hold:
The Virus PowerCore will play as many simultaneous voices as possible, up to a
maximum of 16. Note Off is ignored, meaning all voices will continue to sound indefinitely,
even after the keys are released. As soon as you press a key, any held voices will be
replaced by the new voice(s).
> PORTAMENTO
Determines the rate at which the pitch of one note will glide towards the next. A value of 0
means that Portamento is off.The higher the value, the longer it takes for the pitch of the first
note to glide towards the next.
Arpeggiator
The arpeggiator is a powerful creative
tool that takes any currently played
notes and plays them in a cyclic, rhyth-
mic pattern. If more than one note is
being played i.e. a chord, then the arpeggiator will break up the chord into it’s individual
notes, and cycle through them with each consecutive step in the pattern. Think of the bit just
before the chorus of ‘Rio’ by Duran Duran, and you’ll understand ;-)
> MODE
This determines the order in which the arpeggiator will cycle through the notes of a chord.
> Off:
The arpeggiator is off.
> Up:
The arpeggiator will cycle through the notes of a chord in ascending order.
