69 VIRUSCONTROL
ARP Page
This is the page where you can adjust all of the parameters
relating to the arpeggiator. You can also create your own cus-
tom arpeggiator pattern per patch.
Pattern Editor
The pattern editor controls only become active when you select
“Pattern = User”.
The vertical red bars represent the active steps of the pattern –
in the default User pattern, we have activated alternate (odd-
numbered) steps only. The numbered buttons above each bar
are used to toggle each step on or off – those that are on are
highlighted in red.
The height of the bar represents the velocity value, with the
width of the bar representing the length of the step.
There are two ways to adjust Velocity for each step:
1) Adjust the knob above the step
2) Click on the bar itself and drag vertically
Likewise, there are two ways to adjust the Length of each step:
1) Adjust the knob below the step
2) Click on the bar and drag horizontally
It is important to understand that the length of a step is not
absolute, but relative to the proximity of the next active step.
Therefore, when you deactivate the steps ahead of any given
step, you will see the width of the bar increase accordingly. To
ensure a ‘legato’ effect between this and the next step, increase
its length to maximum.
“End”
To create patterns less than the default 32 steps, drag the ‘End’
tab to the desired location. For instance, if you want a 16-step
pattern, place the ‘End’ tab between steps 16 and 17.
For a full description of any parameter, simply manoeuvre the
mouse pointer over it, and take a look at the Information Bar
along the bottom of VirusControl.
If you wish to learn more about the functionality of a particular
parameter, please refer to the Virus TI User Manual.
