AUDIO ROUTING
THE AUDIO OUTPUTS
In MULTI mode, you can choose a mono or
stereo audio output in the OUTPUT Select
menu independently for every PART.
In contrast to the majority of other effects, the
delay/reverb section is not available individually
for each PART. Instead, it processes the signals
of the PARTs collectively. You can, however,
control the intensity of the effect individually for
each PART using the respective Effect Send pa-
rameter. Consequently, the delay/reverb section
has just one signal output, which cannot be dis-
tributed to the outputs of the individual PARTs.
This is why, for example, the delay effect of a
PART that is routed to the pair of outputs la-
beled OUT 2 will still be audible on OUT 1. This
can be desirable yet may also lead to confu-
sion. To encourage the former and prevent the
latter, set the Effect Send parameter of the
PART to zero when you’re using individual out-
puts.
In MULTI mode, the delay/reverb section fea-
ture its own OUTPUT Select that is independent
of the PARTs.
SOUND CATEGORIES
The Virus gives you the option of classing the
stored SINGLE sounds in categories. With the
benefit of these categories, you’ll be able to find
a desired sound much faster.
You have the following categories at your dis-
posal:
Off, Lead, Bass, Pad, Decay, Plug, Acid, Clas-
sic, Arpeggiator, Effects, Drums, Percussion, In-
put, Vocoder, Favourite ...
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.
Once you’ve assigned categories, you can
search for the sounds within a specific category
in SINGLE mode and MULTI-SINGLE mode:
