EFFECT PARAMETERS
¦ Mix
Off, 1 to 63, Ringmod, 65 to 126, Input: “Off” means no input ring modulation, other values determine the
balance between the two signals: “1” is mostly the untreated oscillator signal, “Ringmod” is the ring-modu-
lated signal only, and “Input” is the input signal only.
Filterbank
The effects section formerly known as “Frequency Shifter” now contains seven additional lter types, and is
now called “Filterbank”. The new lter types are presented in two categories: “XFade” and “VariSlope”. The
Filterbank section can be found in the lower EFFECTS EDIT menu. Press SELECT a few times until the focus
is on the OTHERS button. Then press PARAMETER < > to locate the relevant page. In Virus Control, the
Filterbank section can be found on the FX1 page
¦ Type
Select the particular effect from the following list: Ring Modulator, Frequency Shifter, Comb Filter, Vowel Filter,
1pole XFade, 2pole XFade, 4pole XFade, 6pole XFade, LP VariSlope, HP VariSlope, BP VariSlope.
A Quick Reminder:
Lowpass (LP): Attenuates frequencies above the cutoff. Use this to make bright sounds duller.
Highpass (HP): Attenuates frequencies below the cutoff. Use this to remove bass, and to make sounds thin
and zzy.
Bandpass (BP): Attenuates frequencies either side of the cutoff. Use this to focus on a narrow frequency
range by removing both bass and high frequencies.
¦ XFade Filters
1pole XFade, 2pole XFade, 4pole XFade, 6pole XFade
The (“cross fade”) lters allow you to continuously fade the lter behaviour from lowpass to bandpass to
highpass. You can choose between 1, 2, 4 or 6 poles - the number of poles determines how severe the lter
is, with 1pole being the most gentle.
¦ Cutoff
Adjust the cutoff frequency of the lter. This determines the frequency from where the lter starts to take ef-
fect. Mod Matrix destination = “Filterbank Freq”.
¦ Resonance
Adjust the amount of resonance or “Q-factor”. At least a small amount of resonance is recommended to
add interest to lter sweeps. High values should be used with caution to avoid speaker damage. Mod Matrix
destination = “Filterbank Reso”
Input Follower
A modulation signal is extracted from the level of the selected input (see “Input Select” below) and replaces
the lter envelope. To hear any effect, turn up ENV AMOUNT and/or use “FilterEnvelope” as source in the
Matrix.
¦ Input Select
Value Meaning
Off The Input follower is not used. The other parameters in this page will not be visible.
Left, L+R , Right Signal source for the envelope follower.
¦ Attack
0 to 127: Accessible from the panel via the lter ATTACK knob. Reaction time to sudden peaks in the input
signal level. Used to regulate how smooth the resulting envelope will be.
Modulation destination “Filter Env Attack“.
¦ Release
0 to 127: Accessible from the panel via the lter DECAY knob. Reaction time to sudden drops in the input
signal level. Used to regulate how smooth the resulting envelope will be.
Modulation destination “Filter Env Decay“.
¦ Sensitivity
0% to 100%: Accessible from the panel via the lter SUSTAIN knob. Controls the sensitivity of the envelope
follower to its input signal (note that this parameter does not directly affect signal level). The standard value is
50%.
Modulation destination “Filter Env Sustain“.
Input Ring Modulator
The source specied by the Input Select parameter can be ring-modulated with the oscillator signal.
