Access Virus Has A Step Sequencer!

  • Not sure if this already common knowledge, but I just discovered this.
    It is a "hidden" feature, but works perfectly. I updated to 5.0.8 yesterday and programmed my own custom pattern into my TI2 Polar using the method shown here:


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLZqMFOfYqI



    Using the Transpose as the destination, the height of the individual steps will give you values that are translated to the different notes you want to sound. 64 is the actual played note, and each number is one semitone higher or lower. Using this method, it is possible to program any sequence of notes you need in the arpeggiator.


    I almost purchased another keyboard to get this feature, but the Virus can do it.


    Try it out!

  • Smashing find, thanks for this. I also commented on the Youtube section too.


    I have always wanted to try to replicate a smashing arp sequence on a chillout track i have always liked. I am going to have a bash at this soon using your method.

  • hello folks! I'd really love to be able to use this feature, I followed the steps explained in the youtube tutorial but my efforts up to now gave no good results: what I get is that the sound does not play the whole sequence as I would expect, but just the first note: in sound terms it's like after the first step note gates are not re-triggered.
    does this technique work only if there is an external clock source running? I'd need to use this on a live setting, without a computer hooked on.
    thanks a lot for your help!

  • The arpeggiator works without a computer or external MIDI clock source. Naturally the Arpeggiator has to be switched on.
