OSCILLATORS
Value The waveform of oscillator 3
Slave Oscillator 3 will follow oscillator2. The mixture of waveforms i.e. SHAPE and any modulation
applied to oscillator2 will also apply to oscillator 3. The values of “Semitone” and “Detune” (see
below) are ignored.
Saw, Pulse,
Sine, Triangle,
Wave 3 to
Wave 64
Oscillator3 waveform. Note that if “Pulse” is selected here, its pulse width will follow that of
oscillator2.
¦ Semitone
-48 to +48: The pitch of oscillator 3. If Slave mode is selected, this value will be ignored and oscillator 3 pitch
will track oscillator2 pitch.
Modulation destination “Osc3 Pitch“.
¦ Volume
0 to 127: The level of oscillator 3 when switched on. See “Mode/Wave” above.
Modulation destination “Osc3 Volume”.
¦ Detune
0 to -127: Fine-tunes oscillator 3 downwards. Ignored if Slave mode (see “Mode/ Wave” above) is selected.
Modulation destination “Osc3 Detune“.
Oscillator2(SimpleGrainTable)
¦ Mode
Classic, HyperSaw, WaveTable etc.: Selects the basic type of oscillator.
¦ Index
Determines the playback position within the currently selected Wavetable. Each of the 128 available values
represents either a particular wave or the interpolation of the two nearest waves. Modulating the Index of a
wavetable with an LFO or Envelope will often result in a highly-dynamic variation in the timbre of a sound,
impossible via any other means.
¦ Semitone
As in oscillator1. Modulation destination “Osc2 Pitch“.
¦ Key Follow
As in oscillator1.
¦ Balance
Mirrors the Balance parameter in the oscillator1 page
¦ Detune
0 to 127: Fine-tunes oscillator2 upwards. Modulation destination “Osc2 Detune“.
¦ FM Mode
Species the type of FM. Note that the FM modes available in Wavetable mode are different from those
available in Classic mode
Value Meaning
FreqMod Analog-style FM i.e. true frequency modulation.
PhaseMod DX7-style FM i.e. phase modulation.
¦ FM Amount
0 to 127: Controls the intensity of frequency modulation. Modulation destination “Osc2 FM Amount”.
¦ FiltEnv>Pitch
-64 to +63: How much the lter envelope modulates the pitch of oscillator2. This was implemented in pre-
vious Virus models to allow (especially) sync sweeps without using up precious space in the modulation
matrix, and has been retained for compatibility reasons. Note that oscillator2 in WaveTable mode does not
feature Sync. Modulation destination “FiltEnv>Osc2 Pitch“.
¦ FiltEnv>FM
>-64 to +63: Controls how much lter envelope is applied to FM Amount. Modulation destination
“FiltEnv>FM“.
¦ Oscillator 3 Mode/Wave
Value The waveform of oscillator 3
Off Deactivates oscillator 3. All other oscillator 3 parameters will be invisible.
