yep i know, but i need to remap some keys on the keyboard, i wanted to know if it safer or not because i.
Tip: you can leave Virus on Sync to external at all times. for me i went to download it because I just got the lk67 today and it is saying windows was blocking a virus when i tried to open it, but i need to remap keys so idk what to do. caused by audio cards and the midi transmission.īut you could do it similarly by ear, comparing metronome sound in ableton, to an arp beat. but its a bit tricky to get exactly right, as you soon get into having to account also for other track delays e.g. I use arps to tune this by sending audio back via audio interface, and matching it to beat marks in ableton.
due to slower speed - this is a bit trial and error. Midi clocks latency, Ive not really found its needed if using USB midi. around 400 times the speed!Īs stated above its better to sync the virus (slave) to live (master), especially if you have other devices you also want to sync I don't know for sure, but it could just be that midi din cables (30kbps) are much slower than USB (12 mbps). However, this is rare and most keyboards are not at risk of getting viruses. If your keyboard has upgradeable firmware, it is possible for a virus to get onto your keyboard and potentially infect your devices.
There are a few cases where keyboards have been known to be infected with a virus. The physical midi will work, but I found it was much less reliable when you start sending other midi data (e.g. Generally, no, keyboards will not get viruses. hence the recommendation to give the virus one bar to sync the clocks, before you start sending midi notes. when you change tempo, the virus will change - but it can take a few beats for it to sync fully, for dramatic changes.ĭue to the clock only being sent when transport running, the virus will take a couple of beats to sync. (if you hover over the square, ableton will tell you its called 'sync out') when running, in the top left of ableton, you can see 2 small squares, the bottom one flashed orange when it sends the sync to the external device (i.e virus), this should be in time with virus bpm led the clock is only sync'd when the transport is running. if using virus usb midi, Output: Virus Synth - Sync = ON A) On virus, on Midi /3, set Clock to Sync to Externalī) In Ableton to the Midi devices you have your virus connected, on the output side select Sync e.g.
