CATEGORY 1/2
Every SINGLE sound can be assigned to up to
two categories by means of the parameters
CATEGORY 1 and CATEGORY 2 . For example,
you could assign the attributes "Bass" and "Ac-
id" or "Lead" and "Favorite 1" to a given sound.
These categories may be changed at any time
and can be stored along with the sound. The
factory sounds are assigned default categories.

SECOND OUTPUT/SURROUND
The SECOND OUTPUT function lets you select
another mono or stereo out irrespective of what
the other output assignments may be. The bal-
ance of levels between the normal output and
this second output is infinitely variable.
SELECT
This parameter controls the balance of levels
between the normal and the second audio out-
put. This means that, depending on the given
application, SECOND BALANCE can serve as
an effect send knob when an external device is
patched in via the second output (or another
PART of the VIRUS is patched in via the aux
buses). It also serves as a back/front knob
when you want to create a quadraphonic signal.

BALANCE
With this parameter, you can mix the output sig-
nals of the PARTs individually to the second
output that you chose by means of the SELECT
option. When it is set to the OFF position, you
will only hear only the conventional output;
when it is set to 127, the signal is routed exclu-
sively to the second output. The values in be-
tween these two extremes determine the
weighted balance between the conventional
and the second output.
In conjunction with the conventional output of
the given sound, you end up with a quadra-
phonic signal that is suitable for Surround appli-
