NOTE: The state of this button is saved with the project data by your host software, i.e. it is
not saved within the patch.
> Extern: The Virus will automatically synchronise to the clock signal generated by the host
application. In this mode, the Tempo control will be greyed out.
> Intern: The Virus ignores the clock signal generated by the host software and uses the
tempo as set within the patch. Only the tempo setting of the patch in part 1 is used, as it is
not possible to have multiple tempi within the same DSP.
Pitch
The following controls determine the overall pitch and tuning offset for the
current patch.
> TRANSPOSE
Determines the pitch offset in semitone increments for the current patch. You can transpose a
patch down to 64 semitones lower, or up to 63 semitones higher. All oscillators keep their rel-
ative intervals between each other.
> OCTAVE
Use the Octave buttons to transpose the pitch in octave increments, up to 4 octaves higher
or lower.
> DETUNE
Determines the overall detuning of the patch. This is a subtle effect which is similar to Osc 2/
3 Detune, but applied to all oscillators simultaneously. Like Osc2/3 Detune, this is affected by
MIDI note number i.e. there is a subtle keyfollow applied to the intensity of the detuning.
NOTE: Use Detune to increase the overall warmth when playing more than one sound from
different parts within the same instance of the Virus PowerCore.
