AFAIK you are the only person on the planet including the devs who has made it work while synced.
Or you are mistaken.
I would have been using this feature in 1998 when I had my first Virus if it existed.
Of course I hoped the TI would have it, but it doesn't.

it should work, but in certain cases it doesn't - we are attempting to fix the problem for one of the next releases.

best, marc

Wow, I can't believe this is something that doesn't actually work. Despite just how much the Virus can actually do, I find it odd that something as crucial as this does not exist. Soooo many VSTi software synths have such a function, I would think it should be standard. I really hope you guys at Access do figure out getting it to work. I found it very odd that I was told last year that you can only dump arp notes on odd numbered channels, but not even. This is something else I found very strange and annoying about the Virus, but at least there was a workaround as long as you kept odd numbered channels for dumping arp notes.

it works the whole time, you just cannot automate it under certain circumstances. the limitation to dump arp patterns only on odd channels is a technical limitation we will not change. it is documented and there since the beginning of time.

Quoted from "jhuettner"

Dear Trey,
This is correct. LFOs cannot be automated or modulated once they are set to "clock mode".

Best wishes,

Marc, youre saying the opposite to this.
I'm really glad if they do work now, but we've been told for a long time it doesn't have that functionality.

we enabled the clock divider parameter for automation some month ago. initially, it was on the list of parameters which should not be automated. i guess jörg just overlooked that or we didn't document it well. in any case, even though it is enabled for automation since a while, it doesn't work unfortunately and that's what we will fix.

Thanks for the info Marc, this is huge news for me an many other dance producers.
I wish I had known when it was added (never saw this is a changelog) so I could have tried it.
Though I can understand why you didn't shout about it yet if it isn't working fully.

Funny nobody knows this works... I actually first started having this work w/o using VC but with my mpc 2000xl by just hitting record and clicking thru the clocks by hand(which was annoying). I had sent access an email about 4 months ago about having this feature in VC and they told me it couldnt be done. It wasn't till a few months back that I found this hidden in the vc lfo page and it made my fucking day!

I really don't understand why this isn't something that is documented...
I don't understand why it doesn't work for everyone else. I feel like a lucky guy because I really needed it for my dubstep influenced tunes and there it was =)

It isn't documented because it still doesn't work 100% as Marc said.
I've just tried it and it still doesn't work for me unfortunatly, looking forward to the mentioned fix.
I can wait a bit longer, it really will open some great modulation possibilitys.

I just tested this on my TI desktop, and it does not work... but very happy to hear it's being worked on!
