CHAPTER 5
Introduction
You have already dealt with the Panorama posi-
tion as a modulation target of LFO 2. Here you
can not only modulate it, but also determine
settings manually. For this purpose, use the pa-
rameter PANORAMA which is also located in
the COMMON section of the EDIT menu. Like
many other parameters, Panorama is a starting
point for modulations. For instance you can
modulate the Panorama position via LFO 2
even if you have already set the Panorama to
the far left position. In this case of course you
will only hear the Panorama position shift to the
right.
VELOCITY
Velocity is one of the preferred modulation
sources of keyboard players: A light key attack
generates a low velocity value for the given
note, a heavy touch generates a high velocity
value. In the Virus you have ten modulation tar-
gets available for Velocity. Locate the VELOCI-
TY section in the EDIT menu.

There you will find the modulation intensities
for:
which you can manipulate independently of one
another in the familiar bipolar control range.
A light key attack generates a low velocity value
for the given note, a heavy touch generates a
high velocity value.
UNISON MODE
When we talked about the oscillators, we men-
tioned that by subtly detuning signals, you can
beef up sounds and achieve string-like sounds.
The Virus is equipped with features that allow
you to take this type of tonal manipulation a
step further. On of these is the so-called UNI-
SON MODE. It enables you to initiate two or
more voices for each note played, which in turn
lets you detune many oscillators. UNISON
MODE also offers the option of spreading the
voices generated by one note in the stereo pan-
orama and shifting the phases of their LFOs so
that all types of periodic effects can be used to
produce an even more exciting signal.
