CHAPTER 4
Introduction
THE VIRUS
This section provides deliberate, step-by-
step guidelines on operating and han-
dling the Virus for those of you who are
new to the world of synthesizers and
MIDI. The following covers basics such as
how to connect the Virus to an AC
power supply, your MIDI system and your
audio system. Then we will guide you
through a series of experiments
designed to demonstrate the different
functional groups, their control features
and the tasks they execute.
After you have finished reading this sec-
tion, you will be able to handle virtually
all of the sound generating and sound
shaping functions of the Virus. All of
these are described in context. Even the
majority of less significant functions,
accessible via menus, are discussed here.
You will find a detailed, comprehensive
description of all functions of your new
synthesizer in the section following this
introduction.
Please keep in mind that within confines
of this introduction, we are unable to
impart all of the knowledge and skills in
acoustics, sound synthesis and MIDI con-
trol you might desire or need to acquire.
If you are keen to learn more about
these subjects, you should consider
becoming a regular reader of one or sev-
eral of the leading trade publications in
your country. Your local musical instru-
ments dealer or more experienced musi-
cians will be able to recommend the best
magazines to you. And of course there is
a wide range of books available on these
subjects.
If you decide to read this section, we rec-
ommend you read it in its entirety from
the start - rather than begin with a sub-
section that is of particular interest to
you. A fitting metaphor for the basics
discussed in this section might be a
house where each bit of information in a
subsection is a brick that builds on a pre-
ceding brick and interlocks with those
next to it. You want your knowledge
base to be a sound structure so you
won’t run into problems when you find
one of the “bricks” is missing.
