Off, Acid ... Favourites 3: Select Category names. As certain sounds could conceivably belong to more than
one such category (e.g. Bass and Digital), two can be specied.
Programs are assigned one or two categories to make it easier to nd particular types (Lead, Pad, Drums
etc.) via the SEARCH function.
Soft Knob
As well as being used for editing, the three VALUE knobs below the display function as extra performance
controls called “Soft Knobs” for instant access to parameters that might otherwise not be directly available.
¦ Function as...
Off, Analog Boost Int ... Velo>Volume: Select from a list of Soft Knob destinations.
Tip: Instead of direct control, it is fairly common to specify a continuous controller (e.g. CC06 Data) here,
then use the same CC as source in the modulation matrix. This method not only lets you control a wider
range of destinations with the Soft Knobs, but also allows multiple destinations with variable ranges - com-
plex morphing at the twist of a knob.
¦ Name
+3rds ... Width: Species a word that will appear above the VALUE knob - try to choose the most appropri-
ate name for the overall effect of adjusting this knob.
¦ Resonance 1
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the resonance of lter1.
¦ Filter2EnvAmount
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the envelope amount of lter2.
¦ Resonance 2
-64 to +63: How much velocity affects the resonance of lter2.
Inputs
¦ Mode
Instead of using the internal oscillators, a signal from the external inputs can be treated using the Virus lters,
envelopes and effects.
Value Meaning
Off Standard setting i.e. the Virus oscillators are used as the basic source of sound.
Dynamic The source specied by Input Select (see below) is routed to the FILTERS section, the envelopes
remain functional. This means you have to play a note to hear any sound. Although there is only one
audio source, each note has an independant envelope and lter.
Static The source specied by Input Select is routed to the FILTERS section, but all envelopes are ignored.
The lter section effectively becomes “monophonic”.
Atomizer For details on Atomizer please take a look at the Atomizer manual which can be found in the manual
folder or from within Virus Control using the “?” button.
¦ Input Select
Left, L+R, Right: Signal from the left, both or right inputs.
