PARAMETER REFERENCE MANUAL88
COMMON
¦ LFO Phase
-64 to +63: How much the phases of all LFOs are shifted against each other. For making Unison sound even
more complex.
Modulation destination “Unison LFO Phase”.
Velocity Map
These pages give you access to several xed destinations for MIDI velocity data (i.e. how hard a key is
struck).
¦ Volume
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the total volume of all internal sound generation sources.
¦ Panorama
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects panorama position.
¦ FM Amount
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the amount of frequency modulation (FM) between oscillators 1 and
2. For HyperSaw oscillators, this affects Sync offset instead.
¦ Osc 1 Shape
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects oscillator1 Shape. If oscillator1 is in HyperSaw mode, this is the
Density parameter. If oscillator1 is in WaveTable mode, this is the Index parameter.
¦ Osc 2 Shape
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects oscillator2 Shape. If oscillator2 is in HyperSaw mode, this is the
Density parameter. If oscillator2 is in WaveTable mode, this is the Index parameter.
¦ Pulse Width
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the pulse width of all main oscillators. For oscillators in HyperSaw
mode, this affects the Spread parameter.
¦ Filter1EnvAmount
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the envelope amount of lter1.
¦ Bend Up
-64 to +63 semitones: How much pitch bend is applied to the oscillators when the Pitch Bender (on a key-
board etc.) is at maximum.
¦ Bend Down
-64 to +63 semitones: How much pitch bend is applied when the Pitch Bender is at minimum.
¦ Bender Scale
Mode Meaning
Linear Pitch bend is directly proportional to the position of the Pitch Bender.
Exponential Pitch bend sensitivity is lower when the bender is close to its middle position, allowing for more
subtle control over pitch.
Unison
“Unison” means several instances of the same note at the same time. In the Virus, voices can be stacked
up, detuned against each other and spread across the stereo eld (see “Pan Spread” below) for a richer
sound. The trade-off is a reduction in polyphony.
¦ Voices
Off, Twin, 3 to 16: How many voices are used for each note. “Twin” is relatively efcient, only halving the
maximum polyphony while giving ne control over LFO phase (see below). If set to Off, no other Unison pa-
rameters will be visible except Pan Spread (see below).
¦ Detune
0 to 127: How much the stacked voices are detuned against each other.
Modulation destination “Unison Detune”.
¦ Pan Spread
0 to 127: The stereo width of the signal. As well as applying to Unison sounds, this parameter also applies to
any Parallel and Split mode sounds so it is still visible even if Voices (see above) is set to Off.
Modulation destination “Pan Spread“.
