20 QUICKSTART MANUAL

Tap Tempo / Panic Button

• Tap Tempo
Tap this button repeatedly to set the tempo. This will set the rate of the clock to which any 'clocked' param-
eters will sync, for instance the LFOs (in clock mode), the Arpeggiator, the Delay (clock mode) etc. Please
bear in mind that only one global tempo can be set when working in Multi mode. Alternatively, you can find
Tempo in the COMMON edit menu, should you wish to choose a more precise tempo.
• Panic (EDIT/SHIFT+TAP TEMPO)
Hit this combo to kill any hanging notes, which can be caused by incoming MIDI errors, such as when your
sequencer decides to crash, for instance.

Part Button

To focus the user interface on a particular Part when you are in Multi or Sequencer modes, press or hold the
PART button followed by button 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the lower row. The number displayed in the top right hand
corner of the display tells you which Part you are currently editing.

Preset Sounds

• RAM/ROM?
The Virus TI Snow has 8 banks of RAM patches and 8 banks of ROM patches, each bank comprising 64
patches. 'RAM' stands for 'Random Access Memory', which means all of these locations can be overwritten
with your own patches, as often as you like. 'ROM' stands for 'Read Only Memory', meaning these locations
are permanent, and you cannot store your edited sounds here.
The Virus TI Snow's RAM Banks contain a showcase of patches selected from the ROM banks, so you
needn't worry about replacing any of them. Should you wish to restore them to the original state at any time,
we have saved them as libraries in the Patches folder, which you can access with the Browser in Virus Con-
trol. Since the Virus TI Snow uses banks of 64 presets, they are always displayed in pairs within the Browser
pane of Virus Control, e.g. Banks 1 + 2, 3 + 4 etc.
• Selecting Single Presets
Any of the patches stored in the Virus TI Snow can be selected with a maximum of 4 button clicks.
