Access Virus TI, User Manual

Most pages contain certain parameters can be adjusted by
clicking the graphical representations of the parameter and
dragging them with the mouse. For example: both resonance
and cutoff can be controlled simultaneously by dragging the
little square in the middle of the Cutoff knob for that filter; the
oscillator waveforms can be adjusted by grabbing the picture
of the waveform and moving the mouse – in fact, nearly every
page of the VirusControl offers the user an opportunity to
manipulate the parameters of the Virus in a more intuitive and
fun way than just turning another knob.
Alternatively, you may wish to use the knobs and buttons on
the hardware itself - you’ll be glad to know that any change
you make on the hardware will be reflected in the Virus Control
simultaneously.
Automation of Parameters
Most of the parameters you see in the VirusControl can be
automated by your sequencer host. Please refer to the user
manual of your preferred host for instructions on how to do
this.
Some hosts do not list all the parameters as immediately avail-
able – if you wish to add a parameter to the list, right-click
(Mac Alt+Click) on the parameter’s controller and choose ‘Add
“parameter” to Automation”.
If you wish to send CC data to your host instead of automation
data, then you can use the ‘Virus Default’ template in Remote
Mode (see REMOTE page).
Automating Volume and Panorama can be somewhat special.
Some hosts, such as Apple Logic for instance, do assign Ctrl
#7 and Ctrl #10 to the channel strip controls and therefore filter
those data. In order to automate Volume and Panorama with
those hosts, you need to choose the appropriate entries within
the list of automatable parameters instead.
Information Bar
Extending along the bottom of the VirusControl you will see a
black rectangular box with blue text. This displays the full
description of the parameter on which the mouse pointer is
positioned.
Patch/Utility
This tab determines which pages are selectable.
