About Atomizer
What Is Atomizer?
Atomizer is, at its heart, an instant looping device. It enables you to ‘play’ beat-synced loops on your key-
board in realtime, taken from any audio you choose to send into the Virus TI’s inputs. The loop lengths can
range from a 1/2 note (minimum) down to a 1/32nd note, and from there, down to slices so small that they
are perceived as pitched notes.
The incoming audio is sent as a dry signal, straight back to the outputs, but as soon as you hit one of the
loop or buffer keys, a sample is taken at that instant, and looped at the rate determined by the key you
played. For as long as you hold the key down, you will only hear the looped buffer, and as soon as you re-
lease the key, you will hear the dry signal again. The time-flow of the incoming signal is not affected by this,
so the song will continue ‘underneath’ the Atomizer.
Effectively, what you are doing is replacing portions of the incoming audio with looped slices of itself.
Enabling Atomizer
Atomizer is located in the Inputs pages of the COMMON EDIT menu.
TI Desktop/Keyboard/Polar •
Press EDIT, use the Parameter keys to locate the Inputs page, and select Atomizer = On ..16 (‘Normal’
mode is ‘On’ - please select this value if it is your first time with Atomizer, for information on the other set-
tings, please refer to the paragraph entitled ALTERNATIVE ATOMIZER MODES.). Alternatively dial up Virus
Control and select an Atomizer preset from the list of presets in the Access folder.
TI Snow •
Hold EDIT/SHIFT and press COMMON to enter EDIT SINGLE, locate the Inputs page, and select Atomizer=
On .. 16 (‘Normal’ mode is ‘On’ - please select this value if it is your first time with Atomizer, for information
on the other settings, please refer to the paragraph entitled ALTERNATIVE ATOMIZER MODES.). Alterna-
tively dial up Virus Control and select an Atomizer preset from the list of presets in the Access folder.
Once you have switched Atomizer on, you should be able to hear the incoming audio. A good starting point
are the Atomizer example patches which come pre-installed and can be accessed through Virus Control.
Note: Avoid using more than one instance of Atomizer at the same time.
