Introduction
The Saturation Stage
In the signal chain of the Virus, Filter-1 is followed by a saturation stage. It enables you to add over-
tones to the filtered signal via distortion. Locate and press the button labeled EDIT in the FILTERS
section.
The display will read ”SATURATION CURVE OFF”, which means exactly what it says. With the
VALUE buttons or the VALUE pot, you can now select from a number of saturation/distortion
curves. Next to the distortion curves, the SATURATION stage offers further DSP effects such as the
shaper, rectifier and filter. These are explained in detail in the section on the SATURATION stage.
At this point we would like to mention the OSC VOL pot in the MIXER section. The portion of the
control range from the far left to the center position (12 o’clock) determines the volume of the filter
section’s input signal. The portion of the control range located to the right of the center position (12
o’clock) does not achieve any increase in volume; it simply intensifies the degree of saturation or
distortion. This effect is only achieved when you have activated a saturation curve. The intensity of
the remaining available DSP effects is also controlled via the OSC VOL knob.
Feel free to experiment with the diverse saturation curves and be sure to vary the OSC VOL set-
tings. Note how the different CUTOFF and RESONANCE settings influence the saturation curve.
