EFFECT PARAMETERS
¦ Frequency
Use this to determine the pitch at which the comb lter will resonate. Values are shown in MIDI note num-
bers from C0 to C8. To modulate this parameter, select “FreqShifter Freq” as the destination in the mod
matrix.
¦ Resonance
Adjust resonance to reduce or intensify the resonant effect of the comb lter.
¦ Stereo Phase
Use this to offset the frequency of the comb lter between the left and right channels, thereby creating a
wide stereo image.
¦ Mix
Use this to adjust the balance between the dry signal and the output of the Comb Filter
Phaser
Typically, phasing is the classic “whoosh” effect originally achieved by running two tape machines in parallel,
then slightly changing the speed of one of them. The Virus phaser uses up to six “all-pass” lters to achieve
a very similar effect. In combination with Feedback, the Virus phaser is also capable of resonator, ensemble,
vibrato and anging effects. Note that if the Mix parameter is set to Off, the other parameters will not be vis-
ible in the menu.
¦ Mix
Off, 1 to 127: Cross-fade between the dry and wet signal. Set this to 64 for normal phasing (together with
zero Feedback - see below).
Modulation destination “PhaserMix“.
¦ Frequency
0 to 127: The average frequency of resonant peaks (see Spread below). Modulation destination “PhaserFre-
quency“.
¦ Feedback
-64 to +63: The amount of signal fed back into the Phaser input, causing a resonance effect. The Feedback
parameter is bipolar because positive and negative values result in different tonal characteristics.
¦ Distance
Use the Distance parameter to adjust the distance of the microphones from the cabinet from 4 cm to 30 cm.
The closer the microphones, the more intense the amplitude modulation (tremolo) will be.
¦ Mix
Use the Mix parameter to adjust the balance between the input signal and the output of the Rotary Speaker
effect. For authentic organ patches, this is best left at 127, but other values can be very useful if you want to
try using the rotary effect with less conventional sounds, such as synth pads.
Vowel Filter
This effect is a simple and effective way to make any patch sound as though it is being vocalized, i.e.
through a vocoder or talk box. To use, please select Frequency Shifter Type = “Vowel Filter”
¦ Vowel
Use this control to sweep through the vowel table: “u..o..â..a..ä..e..i..iü..ü..ö..oe..o..u”. To modulate this pa-
rameter, select “FreqShifter Freq” as the destination in the mod matrix.
¦ Resonance
Adjust Resonance to reduce or intensify the peaks of the vowel lter.
¦ Stereo Phase
Use this to offset the position vowel table between the left and right channels, thereby creating a wide stereo
image.
¦ Mix
Use this to adjust the balance between the dry signal and the output of the Vowel Filter
Comb Filter
A versatile effect, useful for creating anything from subtle, pitched overtones to extreme time-warped de-
struction. To use, please select Frequency Shifter Type = “Comb Filter”
