Noise Engineering's Vice Virga is an 8-Input, 8-Output Sequential/Addressable Switch with a Plethora of Features and Extensive Patchability
Vice Virga can be configured as a single 8-channel switch, two 4-channel switches, or four 2-channel switches. Equal parts automated patch arranger and performance tool, Vice Virga has loads of switching control options. Whether you want to chain sequencers, swap outputs on an oscillator, remix a trigger pattern, or mix up every connection in a patch just to see what happens, Vice Virga can do it!
Interface
- Reset: Resets VV to step 1, or the value set by the offset CV/encoder.
- Adv (button): Advances a step each time it’s pressed, following the Adv and Beh settings.
- Offset: Manual offset control. Each encoder click moves up or down one step, no matter the mode. Tapping the encoder resets the offset. Offset changes where VV resets to whenReset is pressed/triggered.
- Grp (Group): Changes the switch grouping.
- 8: A single 8-input, 8-output switch.
- 4: Two 4-input, 4-output switches.
- 2: Four 2-input, 2-output switches.
- Beh (Behavior): Changes switch-routing behavior.
- Seq: VV advances outputs sequentially following the selected Adv direction each time Advance is pressed/triggered. When VV is reset, the input/output routing is initialized: In 1 goes to Out 1, In 2 goes to Out 2, etc., respecting any offset.
- 1>1?: VV advances outputs randomly, respecting the Grp setting, and only allowing inputs to be routed to a single output. The Offset encoder/CV offsets the randomized routing. When VV is reset, the input/output routing is initialized: In 1 goes to Out 1, In 2 goes to Out 2, etc., respecting any offset.
- 1>x?: VV advances outputs randomly, respecting the Grp setting but allowing inputs to route to any number of outputs (including 0). The Offset encoder/CV offsets the randomized routing. When VV is reset, the input/output routing is initialized: In 1 goes to Out 1, In 2 goes to Out 2, etc., respecting any offset.
- Adv (switch): Changes the direction VV advances in Seq mode when triggers are received at the Advance jack, or the Adv button is pressed.
- Fwd (Forward): VV advances from top to bottom.
- Rev (Reverse): VV advances from bottom to top.
- Pen (Pendulum): VV advances from top to bottom to top again.
- Inputs 1-8: Switch inputs. Suitable for CV, gates/triggers, and audio.
- Outputs 1-8: Switch outputs. Suitable for CV, gates/triggers, and audio.
- Offset CV: CV input for offset. Offset changes where VV resets to when Reset is pressed/triggered.
- Reset: Trigger input for Reset. Resets VV to step 1, or the value set by the offset CV/encoder.
- Advance: Advances the switch, following the Adv and Beh settings.
